Throat Chakra Meditations: “I am speaking my truth. I am free. I love myself”


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. It is about speaking one’s truth!

The throat chakra, makes me takes pause and think about language. Body Language, Sign Language, Spoken Word. My little baby is 7 months and I have been watching her communicate since birth. Every cry has a meaning, every sound, syllable, is so meaningful. Her MMM-MMM. Turned into Ma-Ma-Ma, and soon she knew my name. We are hard wired to communicate--to be in communion with one another.
com·mun·ion/kəˈmyo͞onyən/Noun

1. The sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, esp. when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level.
2. Common participation in a mental or emotional experience.

 Hearing MaMa from the mouth of my little babe gives me more joy then I can ever even begin to describe. When she was born, I knew her cries, I woke up two seconds before she did. Her gibberish might mean nothing to you, but to me it has a million meanings. It is a profound experience for me, to see my little one, learning and talking and communicating with me. We are all here to speak our truth, to talk, to love, to be. Today the Arch Angel and Saint are both Angels. Archangel MichaelThe Archangel Michael is the Angel of courage, strength and protection and he will stand by your side with his mighty sword and shield, ready to protect you.
The Archangel is associated with this words truth, courage, strength, success and faith. Call on Michael's mighty sword to protects you, cutting through the cords that bind you to people, places and things.
If you are afraid, lack courage or in need of protection, imagine his protective cloak around you, helping you to speak and live your truth.
Michael is a mighty warrior and will give you initiative, willpower, drive and energy to follow your path and complete tasks without too much effort. He will help you to develop the strength and focus needed to be successful.
The colours associated with this Angel are dark peacock blue and turquoise.

 My patron saint is Arch Angel Gabriel, Gabriel has become a huge part of my life in the last 5 years. In fact, He, Raphael,  and Michael--in many ways brought me to recent conversion to Catholicism. AA Gabriel is the patron saint of communication. He appeared in the bible (old and new) a number of times but his most known role was in telling Mary, Mother of Jesus, that was full of Grace and he explained her mission and purpose to her. She did not argue, she simply accepted her divine path with grace and dignity despite how impossible it must have seemed at the time. Gabriel teaches us to speak and know our truth, to follow our divine path.  Archangel Gabriel
Let Archangel Gabriel's shining light surround you with protection to guide you through your darkest moments, keeping loved ones safe. Imagine the people and things you want to protect surrounded by pure white light and Gabriel will keep them safe.
The words associated with this Archangel are protection, intuition, clarity and discipline.
In order to follow your higher path, Gabriel gives you the discipline and guidance to take the first steps, followed by vision and clarity to follow that path. Sometimes your life choices can be hard but Archangel Gabriel will be with you all the way.
The colours of this Archangel are gold and white.

Heart Chakra Meditations: “ I am protected. I am safe. I am loved. I love myself”

The heart chakra  (Anahata or padma-sundara) governs our interactions as we reach out to touch and embrace other people. Keeping the balance between personal needs and the needs of others is the function of the heart chakra. Expansion, growth and freedom are all prerequisted for a healthy and mature heart chakra. (sue and simon lilly)


When thinking about the heart chakra, you can't help but think of LOVE. It really IS all about LOVE. This chakra is right in the center of us. It lives between the lower chakras (Root, Sacral, Naval) and the upper chakras (Throat, Third Eye, and Crown) it is the balance the core of who and what we are spiritually, physically and emotionally. Green is the color of the rich earths, the color of our harvest...is it no surprise that we choose GREEN to the be color of our money! Abundance is all around us, and in us. We are all at the beginning. Each day is new. Each day is a promise of healing and abundance. Water the ideas and thoughts that are beautiful. Arch Angel Raphael is the   Angel who will help us get in touch with this chakra. His color is green. Archangel Raphael
Archangel Raphael is a sage, a seer, gives healing both physically and emotionally through giving and receiving love.
The words associated with this Archangel are healing, communication, knowledge and vision.
This Angel encourages you to communicate and share you inner wisdom to heal with thoughts, words and creativity and you should call on this Angel if you are doing group work or wishing to exchange knowledge and ideas.
The colours associated with this Archangel are shades of green. However the complimentary colour of green is pink (see Chamuel) and I sometimes use both colours.

For the saint today I feel Saint Francis coming in very strong. http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=50 Saint Francis could have lived a very easy, very wealthy life with all the pleasures and promise of mankind. His calling was that of love. He loved people, animals, and the earth. He was an artist and a healer. Please read this poem he wrote: The Canticle of the Sun

by Francis of Assisi

Most high, all powerful, all good Lord! All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing. To you, alone, Most High, do they belong. No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.
Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, especially through my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day; and you give light through him. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens you have made them, precious and beautiful.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.
Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water; she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you brighten the night. He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong.
Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, who feeds us and rules us, and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial. Happy those who endure in peace, for by you, Most High, they will be crowned.
Be praised, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death, from whose embrace no living person can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Happy those she finds doing your most holy will. The second death can do no harm to them.
Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks, and serve him with great humility.

Sacral Chakra Meditations- “I AM CREATIVE. I AM SEXY. I LOVE MYSELF”

"The Sacral Chakra (svadisthan)is the reservoir of our life energy from which energy is channelled or directed  through the rest of the body. Spontaneous enjoyment of experience , exploration of the senses and play are all characteristicss of this chakra, stimulating our ability to learn and develop as individuals.” (sue and simon lilly)


SACRAL CHAKRA: Today as I focus on Sacral Energy I am looking at life from the perspective of the seed once again. Seeds are the outcome of planting, of roots. You can not have a blossom without your roots. You water your seedlings even before they ever show above the surface. Water is like our thoughts and energy that we put into this seedling. We watch the earth waiting. Will it grow, will it be a weed or a rose? When it peeks above the earth all we see is just a seedling, small, vulnerable yet capable of so much. Every idea is a seed. Good or Bad. We plant these thoughts and they blossom into our reality. We give birth to so much in this world. Unfortunately so much of what we bring forth is what we do not want. I heard somewhere recently that we have over 60,000 thoughts a day-- 90% of which are repetitive. Are those 90% what we want to be watering our seedling with? What do we want to plant in our life? Are we are giving 90% of our energy towards loving, creating and joy?  We need to raise our vibration. All of us, consciously need to replace that 90% with brilliance.  If we did could you imagine how lovely this world could be? What beautiful seeds we would plant and nourish and grow?! The potential for brilliance we as humanity capable of giving birth to? This chakra is about creativity and fertility. The act of making something. Bringing things or beings into this world! As a young girl I use to be so uncomfortable with my fertility. I so did not want to "get pregnant" that I lost sight of the fact that fertility is not just about procreation, it is about planting beautiful thoughts, images, and messages in this world for myself and others. I consciously rejected a beautiful & creative part of myself. Now, that I have a baby and have experienced the miracle of pregnancy, birth and life itself,  I can not contain myself with awe over this miraculous world and what we can do. I want to bring beauty into this world for my self, my daughter, my family, my friends, strangers, politicians, everyone. I want to manifest love and light everywhere I go. Archangel Cassiel
The colours associated with this Archangel are earth colours, from rich russets and browns to oranges.  The words associated with this Archangel are good fortune, luck, purpose and positivity. Cassiel is the Angel of good fortune, helping you to create your own 'luck' so you can reap the vast rewards of positive thinking. His greatest gifts are patience and strengthening inner convictions giving us strength to work hard, have inner discipline and belief in ourselves.  For my catholic saint, Mother Mary is coming in very strong for me. This chakra is literally located three fingers below the naval--where the womb of a woman lies. Mary held Jesus in her womb. She helped to manifest God on earth. She gave birth to a man who literally changed time and consciousnesses on earth.
