Throat Chakra

Throat Chakra
Will, Communication, Creativity, Truthfulness, Integrity (p.81) "The Throat Chakra covers the area of the external and internal throat and neck as well as the mouth, teeth, and jaw. It is often blocked with suppressed feelings, revealing unspoken emotions and unexpressed ideas. When the Throat Chakra is blocked, it prevents energy from rising to the upper centers. Clearing this center requires a deep commitment to the truth, as well as living from integrity. When it is healed, strength flourishes and directs the life force toward creativity and self-expression. The qualities expressed by the Throat Chakra are creativity, willpower, the truth, communication, and personal integrity. This center governs the thyroid and controls our ability to communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas clearly. When the Throat Chakra is functioning optimally, people will take stand for what they believe in. They are seldom dependent on others to give them permission to express their feelings. "

Expressing Diving Will

Abilities

The Throat Chakra's attitudes all nurture a belief in the sanctity of personal expression. This chakra becomes functional when we commit to expressing our truth to the best of our ability. Attitudes about suppressing "negative" feelings, being polite, and not rocking the boat block this chakra and weaken our life force. An essential attitude is that what we say matters, and this belief in self heals this chakra. If we grew up in a family that put down what we said, then speaking up for ourselves is important to us. Communicating from the depth of our integrity gives us credibility and constancy and defines mature adults who can be trusted and mean what they say.

SPIRIT PROPERTIES

Positive Attitudes

Honoring the truth and communicating it from a place of integrity is what makes us responsible adults. When we know we have something to say and it is worth expressing, we make a difference. We expand the Throat Chakra and open our energy field when we share our truth. We learn that both our personal truth and the higher truth of God are sacred. Also, learning appropriate ways to express our truth is worth the effort because others can then respond to us.

    Main principle: to split and quicken (quicksilver), duality, logos. Mercurys main purpose is to act as the go between for all dualities and all types of opposites, such as hot and cold, wet and dry, light and dark, hard and soft. For this reason it is none of these principles in itself (though it tends slightly toward dryness), but rather mimicks whatever principles happen to be most prevalent. It signifys transit, communication, language, and mental capacity. It is neuter as to sex.
