The Secret of the Throat Chakra

If I asked you to close your eyes and think of one person who annoys you, who would it be? 

And then if I ask you why that person annoys you, chances are your answer will be; 

“That person speaks nonsense.” 

or “He/She talks too much.” 

The person is probably a poor listener, gives unsolicited advice, overly talkative, and loud. 

Spending time with this person is probably the last thing you want to do. 

But what if I asked you about someone you could listen to for hours. 

A charismatic person who has a dream and a clear vision. And isn’t afraid to voice them to inspire others to action. 

For me, I can’t think of a better example than Martin Luther King, Jr. He was the epitome of the Throat Chakra. 

A Big Purpose, A Reason for Living, Instigating Radical Change

These are the traits of a balanced Throat Chakra. 

A natural leader with a clear moral compass, he is the ultimate visionary and a great Manifester. 

If you think this will never be you, then think again.

Balancing of the Throat Chakra is the key.

    • Hi Tyrell! 🙂 The ego isn’t the same as the shadow self. Our egos are our sense of self while our shadow selves are our unconscious or the unconscious aspect of our personality.
