When it comes to Listening To Your Inner Voice, one of the core energy centers involved in this skill is the Throat Chakra. 

The Throat Chakra is symbolized by a 16-petaled blue lotus with a white center representing the element of ether or space. This energetic center is located in the middle of the neck, above your collarbone and below your chin.

The Throat Chakra governs clear listening and speaking abilities.

Your Throat Chakra is responsible for clear communication, the space for deep listening, sharing your truth and clairaudience. 

When this energy center is open, you’re highly receptive to hearing messages from your inner voice and the Divine.

However, it’s one of the energy centers in the body that can become blocked. 

This one can get blocked especially in anyone who’s ever been in a relationship with someone who seeks to decrease others’ truths through disrespectful behavior, verbal belittling and various forms of abuse, which often has the intended consequence of “shutting down” other people’s soul messages.

If you grew up with or were in close contact with a person who undervalued their own needs, and thus the needs of others, it is possible your Throat Chakra may be more blocked than other energy centers.

Thankfully, you can easily open this energy center. When the Throat Chakra is open and flowing, it helps you express your physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

One of the most important reasons to practice opening the Throat Chakra and listening to your soul’s messages is to avoid lying to yourself, and perhaps as an unintentional result, lying to others.

Being able to hear and express your needs is important for obtaining enlightenment and greater happiness, as it helps you receive core supporting elements to fulfilling your soul’s dream.

Additionally, to receive Divine Guidance, you have to first listen to your own guidance, which can often sound telepathic, like you talking to yourself, but it’s often soft and gentle. 

Hearing your inner voice helps you get to know yourself, which is the only relationship you’ll have your entire life, so you want to make it a good one. When you can hear your inner voice, it’s easier to align to your soul’s path, which ultimately helps you live out your dreams.

As you open up to receive messages from your Inner Voice, it will open your clairaudient gifts and Throat Chakra.

Exercises & Activities

1 - Throat Chakra Clearing Meditation

The goal of this exercise is to practice opening your clear communication energy center so you can hear your inner guidance.

Activity:

Inhale and exhale, soften your gaze, visualize a swirling blue energy vortex opening in your throat’s center. Breathe in and out, this energy portal gets larger and larger until it expands beyond your physical neck and into the space between your head and shoulders.

Repeat: “It is safe to speak my truth. I hear my inner voice clearly. I’m in tune with my soul’s messages and follow them with ease. I know when it is my time to speak. I share my truth at the right time every time.”

As you visualize your Throat Chakra flowing with crisp, blue light, imagine any blocks, debris, projections or objects in the energy spiral, dislodging, releasing, floating off into space. Inhale, exhale, come back to the room.

2 - Daily Brain Dump

Inside your mind are your own thoughts, often mixed with ideas and thoughts you’ve picked up from elsewhere. The goal of this exercise is to make space for your soul’s most important messages by clearing the clutter.

Activity:

Get a physical journal. Each day, ideally right when you start the day or before you sit down to do a critical task, start an entry with “Dear Self.” Jot down all of your thoughts. They may be in complete sentences, or fragments. They may jump around erratically. It’s all fine. 

Write down all the random stuff, musings, “words of advice,” in your mind - something bothering you from yesterday, a concern in the future, something you liked or didn’t about a recent experience, your to-do’s, your questions for the Universe, the day’s most important decisions and the factors going into them, etc.

Write everything down in your mind until you naturally draw a blank.

Advanced:

When you can’t think of anything else, which will likely be somewhere between 1-4 pages, look at the last issue you wrote down and pose a question to it. For example, how do I solve that? Or what will make that more enjoyable? Jot down the first thing you think of. 

This final answer most likely comes from your soul’s wisdom, which is present now that the “noise” has been cleared.

3 - Opening The Treasure Chest

After you’ve practiced opening your listening energy center and clearing your mind to hear a voice, it’s time to see if your inner voice will speak to you through images.

The below exercise takes you out of the logical mind and into an almost shamanic journey state so a deeper awareness can be revealed. 

Activity:

Take a deep breath and bring to mind a question that has you stuck. Soften your gaze and imagine yourself on your favorite beach. 

Embellish the scene - are you with someone? What are you drinking? What color are the umbrellas? Sense the sand, visualize the water color and hear the water’s sound.

Now picture yourself walking up to a treasure chest on the beach. Open the chest and visualize that inside is the answer to your question.

You might be surprised at what you find inside!
