Throat Chakra Day 7

I feel like I fell off the bandwagon this week, but in many ways I did not. I  had to do a lot, and communicate my needs. I cried a lot. I moved through a lot of "stuff" and really laid some important stuff on the table.

Throat Chakra Day 6

Ash Wednesday, Today. Lent starts.  I am going to continue no meat. I am also going to *try* to say no to chocolate. That will be a huge sacrifice for me.

I will use lent to continue my exploration of self.



Today I realized I had not yet done my throart chakra bath soak...so I did. My head, neck and jaw were puslating, i felt like chanting in the bath lots of OMs and theater vocal exersizes, it felt great.

My husband, is going back to his roots at the Catholic church, so we went to an Ash Wednesday service. I am allowed to get the ashes because it is not a sacrament-Joe did all this research- so I did. It was really cool. From Ashes, to Ashes, Dust to Dust. You came from the Dust and you acknowledge you will return. It is about asking forgiveness and opening your hear to God. I like that.

Throat Chakra Day 5

I was so depressed today. I barely ate, just slept and cried. I did watch a few meditations on youtube.

Thorat Chakra Day 4

Monday Day off, more painting.

crying. all this move is just hitting me hard. but, I am just letting myself cry no need pushing it down not in a throat chakra meditation week.

Throat Chakra Day 3

Painting my new apartment. Valentines Day. So much work, but we had fun.  Food wise, All I can say is I am avoiding meat so that is good but past that.....I can't say I am on the wagon. Just too much going on.

I am really getting scared about this move. This new apartment is so small, I know it is just a transitional place to see if we want to stay in the area but I am really getting jittery due to all  this change.

Throat Chakra Day 2

http://healing.about.com/cs/chakras/a/chakra5.htm

The Throat Chakra is associated with the color sky blue. This chakra is our will center. The healthfulness of the fifth chakra is in relation to how honestly one expresses himself/herself. Lying violates the body and spirit . We speak our choices with our voices (throats). All choices we make in our lives have consequences on an energetic level. Even choosing not to make a choice such as in repressing our anger (not speaking out) may manifest into laryngitis. We have all experienced that "lump in our throats" when we are at a crossroad of not knowing how to speak the right words in any given situation, perhaps even stuffing our own emotions. A challenge of the throat chakra is to express ourselves in the most truthful manner. Also to receive and assimilate information. Seek only the truth.

throat chakra DAY 1

The Throat Charka (Vissuddha) seeks communication and clear expression.The Throat Chakra-is about finding peace. This Chakra helps brings our own truth into the world, and to aid us in communicating how we feel and think.

Feeding Your Throat Chakra-

The throat chakra is a transmitter of truth, freedom, and clarity. It is located in the throat and neck region of the body and extends

upward to include the lower region of the brain or cortex.

This area of the physical body holds the communication center, and the gateway to inner and outer worlds.

What does your Throat Chakra need so you can fully express who you are?

Speaking One's Truth

· Sea plants: sea weed, dulse flakes,

· Fruit: lemons, limes, grapefruit, kiwi, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc

· vegetables:

· Liquids: water, fruit juices, herbal teas

· Spices: salt, lemon grass

· Herb: Frankincense

· Flower: Morning glory

· Eat high quality, local, organic—think about the spiritual energy that is in what you eat—do you really want something that is hurting, not treated with love?

· soups - By eating foods like soups (earth-water elements fused together through fire), we encourage and honor our connection with the elemental nature of foods and our bodies.

Eating soups can open up the throat chakra area and create more ease in eating. Eating spoonfuls of soup compared to bites of food may help us to slow down and be more in the moment

· Ethnic food/new tastes- It exposes you to an abundance of tradition and culture. It broadens not only your food horizon, but helps you to step out of the box of your everyday living!

a groan, a laugh, a sigh, a clear, strong note

heart chakra days 5-7

This was a difficult week because my mother in law had a stress induced heart attack, I did workwith my spiritual team and I avoided meat but mainly I just focused on the NOW of what was happening to my loved one. Her heart attack has a "street" name : commonly known as broken heart syndrome. Broken Heart, Which, if I take the fear and grief out of the situation and look at it from a spiritual perspective--there is a lot of syncronisity in my life right now. Broken Heart. If you allow these things in life to control you- your heart literally can't take the stress. I too am under stress, I have been TRYING to release and free myself from this stress but lots and lots of stress just IS  and some I make up  due to my own fears and add  them into  and onto other stress. I myself need to learn how to reduce stress, how to let go, how to forgive, how to let God. I have been trying to release my fear and anxiety to AA Michael. And, I have been working a lot with my spiritual team-who have been showing me signs and sending me love. But, I need to use my body more. I have been talking about yoga for years now, I do bits and pieces here and there, but I want to practice yoga, my body wants it~This will be a new goal for me. I have to start connecting the dots with mind, body and spirit.

i ate meat today, actually my husband bought this little roast chicken for dinner, and i thought--why not? a nice dinner no harm---but i became literlly ill after the meal. It was like my body DID NOT want that in it!

heart chakra day 2

heart chakra day 2, was a day of meditation and rest. I found some great meditation on youtube, one had a chant om mani padme hum, id never heard before but felt so natural and peaceful.









Mantra of Compassion - Om MANI PEDME HUN


Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them.

Spinning the written form of the mantra around in a Mani wheel (or prayer wheel) is also believed to give the same benefit as saying the mantra, and Mani wheels, small hand wheels and large wheels with millions of copies of the mantra inside, are found everywhere in the lands influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.



The Prayer Wheel: Spiritual Technology from Tibet



It is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in this mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum can not really be translated into a simple phrase or sentence.



It is appropriate, though, to say a little about the mantra, so that people who want to use it in their meditation practice will have some sense of what they are doing, and people who are just curious will understand a little better what the mantra is and why it is so important to Tibetan Buddhists.

heart chakra day 3

  I  went to church this morning. I cant describe it...I felt blessed.



I kept seeing the numbers 444 all day today.... and so I looked it up  on lisabeachy.com

444 — Thousands of angels surround you at this moment, loving and supporting you. You have a very strong and clear connection with the angelic realm, and are an Earth angel yourself. You have nothing to fear—all is well.


WOW
