Learn about the Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is the fifth chakra, and it is the first of the higher or spiritual chakras. The energetic center of the Throat Chakra lies in the region of the neck and shoulders, including the mouth and ears. Here, the throat is associated with ether and space - a place both empty and pregnant with possibility. According to traditional Yogic wisdom, the Universe was created by the sacred sound of “OM.” Naturally, what we create from this space directly impacts our path and creates our story.

The Purpose: “The way of the Throat Chakra” is to remain in personal integrity and honor with yourself while seeking and sharing the truth.

The Gift: The Throat Chakra offers you the space you need to unapologetically step into who you are made to be. Using the power of your throat, you can speak your truth, and in turn, allow others to speak their truths.

Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth chakra. It is the second of the higher or upper chakras corresponding to the middle of the spiritual body. Its center is located frontally just above and between the eyes, at the center of the eyebrows; and at the first cervical vertebrae at the base of the skull in the back of the body.

In Sanskrit, it is called “Ajna,” which means command or monitoring center. In Eastern Yogic traditions, there are ninety-six petals to the center’s wheel - this is a large vibratory jump from the sixteen seen in the Throat chakra. It is also known as the guru chakra as it is the point where the three main nadis or forces, ida, pingala, and sushumna, meet and merge into one stream of consciousness before flowing up to the Crown chakra. In this point of unification, we move beyond the polarities of light and darkness and into the space where we can perceive the infinite.

Learn about the Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra is referred to in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, meaning thousand-fold. Like a fully expanded lotus flower - the Crown Chakra is an expansive energy center - fully open - upward and outward. This powerhouse energy center connects you to universal energy and transcendence.

Why should you care if my chakras are open?

In your natural state, your chakras are balanced, which means that your physical body, your mental body, and your higher self are all in alignment. When your chakras are balanced and aligned, you feel well.

In this place of alignment, you have the opportunity to move into higher states of consciousness and peace. Some who are deeply in tune with their energetic being may experience a surge, otherwise known as “kundalini energy”. This is a very special energy that begins at the base of your spine and travels through your energy centers to your crown. This energy travels bi-directionally - from the bottom up (Mother Earth's energy) and the top-down (Energy from Source).

Returning to love, again...

Returning to love, again...

Oftentimes, what keeps us from breaking out into the world is our fear and false and limiting beliefs. I know that firsthand because I struggled with this for years, and I finally realized who I am as a spiritual practitioner and how I can be help people, but it wasn't always clear for me. I moved through many different iterations of my own spiritual path awakening. I've worked with more teachers than I can count on my hands and toes. And I've worked on myself, breaking down each wounded part of me into tiny little pieces. I've analyzed them. I've spent time and money healing. I've lingered long, and languished in suffering. I've repeated patterns over and over again, just to make sure I'm “really clear or really healed”. I've been on top of the mountain and I've been buried under piles of dirt, again and again, each time learning something new, remembering my truths, then forgetting it again, feeling painful memories, thoughts of dejection, rejection, and failure, but also feeling incredibly powerful and purposeful - having a strong vision to give back to humanity in a huge way.

What are Chakras?

Taking time to understand and align this vital energy system will help you to become in tune with your body, your emotions, and how YOUR ENERGY is creating and adding to your present environment and life circumstances. Understanding the flow of your energy will help you to see life through a new lens; to see possibilities you perhaps hadn’t before.

Tuning in to your Chakras will help you to become more empathetic and understanding of others as well.

Most importantly, understanding your Chakras and noticing when they are out of alignment can show you how to navigate moments in time that in the past you were unable to do so.

If you want to know more about the Chakra system, I'll be sharing a tidbit or two about each center in the coming weeks.

How to Set Sacred Intentions

Turning your desires into soul-filled Sacred intentions and allowing the Universe take it from there...

Before I came to understand that I am the co-creator of my life experiences, I experienced despair, fear or discontentment. I came to understand that, although my heartfelt intentions for relief from suffering were real, I was unknowingly adding to my problems instead of helping alleviate them. I was missing key knowledge that would ultimately set me free from sorrow and on a path of joy. I learned about what I like to call the power of setting Sacred Intentions. Creating Sacred Intentions consists of three simple, yet life-changing, steps that I now use to aid me as I navigate my life…

Answering Life's Biggest Questions...

In my latest connection to my Soul’s Voice, I saw a woman standing on a beach with the vast ocean in front of her.

I watched her as she contemplated life.

She questions her existence and wonders what the real purpose of life is.

  • Why are we here?

  • Why do we experience what we experience?

  • Why do we want what we want?

  • Why do we learn the lessons we learn?

  • Why do we have such a hard time being still, in the moment, and okay with what is?

  • Why do we always want more?

The Clairs: What is Your Dominant Sense

Whether it is a gut feeling, an instinctual reaction, insight from a dream, or a certain knowing you just can’t kick, we all have the gift of intuition (yes, that means YOU!). And, if you’re sitting here thinking, “really, all I hear are crickets” or “I know I feel stuff, but I have no idea if I can trust it or if it’s even real”... I hear you, AND I get it. Meet the CLAIRS - the extrasensory perception we are all born with, though some are more prominent than others.
