Chakra Issues: 5th

Patreon 2.24.23

Now we switch to a different application for the chakra system, that of diagnosis. So let’s talk about diagnosis for a minute. Diagnosis is a gift, on the one hand, and a curse, on the other.

When anyone has a collection of uncomfortable symptoms, having a name for them — a diagnosis — can feel like a relief. That’s the gift, a certain reverse peace of mind. The logic goes like this: at least if I know what this is, I also know what it isn’t. This is what makes us say, “My …”

That “my,” whilst comforting is also limiting. That little word “my” changes everything. With that one notion, we own our disease. Do you really wish to own your … whatever symptoms might be yours? Probably not.

That said, we’ll continue with the Main Issues and Challenges for the Turquoise Throat Chakra.

Bear in mind that these are general, and that they can affect you on four levels of your being: Body, Heart, Mind, or/and Spirit.

The main issues of this fifth chakra are:

Communication

Creative life

Need to contribute

Self-expression

Rather than detail each one, think a minute, Beloved. Are there areas of your life wherein you wonder about your communication? About your abilities to create the life you truly want? Where you’re not sure it’s safe to express yourself fully? Where expression, done in a less-than-healthy way, compromises your integrity — your own wholeness?

Those are fifth chakra issues, and need addressing as soon as you can because these issues are the measure of how good you are at creating what you want in your own life.

Two aspects of these issues tend to be sticklers. First, your beliefs about how to communicate whatever you wish to express. We learn to communicate from those around us; if the examples aren’t great … enough said. The second is learning that every single one of us is creative — in some realm. This one has to do with how much you dare to dream.

If you’re concerned that you have fifth chakra issues, the first, easiest, and simplest thing you can do is make sure you can see a rich turquoise in your world at all times. [Origami paper works well for this.]

Or, you can wear just such a turquoise.

Or, you can imagine a brilliant turquoise light treatment of the water you drink, and take it in that way.

Give it three days of “turquoise” treatment. Do you feel better? Differently? Good. It’s working. Keep at it.

Monday we’ll have a look at the main issues/challenges of the Indigo Brow Chakra. Have a relaxing weekend.
