As I wrote the script and created the video, I had moments where I smiled in bliss. This meditation felt so empowering to create and I hope you find it worth your time to listen.
Throat Chakra Guided Meditation Script
Begin Your Practice
As you begin this practice, make sure you won’t be disturbed.
You may sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, or on a cushion – wherever you may be comfortable. Just be sure the position you find is one that you can maintain long enough for this meditation. Be kind to yourself. If you find that you need to shift, do so with mindfulness and calm.
When you meditate, it’s okay to have thoughts – they will come! Welcome them. Meditation shouldn’t be a strain. Don’t try too hard. Just bring your gentle, nonjudgmental attention back to this meditation when you find your thoughts have taken you somewhere else.
Let go of expectations. You have come to your chair or cushion. Let yourself settle into this practice to benefit from this time of calm and silence. Once you begin this meditation, stick with it until the end.
Do the practice
Close your eyes, or cap them halfway, with a soft unfocused gaze.
Bring your awareness to the breath. Notice the rise and fall of the chest, the natural rhythm of breathing. Sit with the breath for a few moments.
If you find your thoughts wandering, gently come back to this throat chakra meditation. Thoughts are okay. Let them come. Welcome them. Gently let them go by coming back to this meditation. Be kind to yourself.
Now, take two or three deep yawns. You can “fake yawn” until one comes on.
Bring your attention back to the breath. Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing.
Breathing
Breathe in, deeply, first into your diaphragm and then into your chest. Inhale as much as you can.
Slowly begin to release the air, starting with your chest, then your belly. Do this for two more breaths.
Bring your attention to the root of your being, the base of the spine. A tiny ball of red energy spins there.
Bring your attention to the sacral chakra, two fingers below the navel. Its energy is orange.
The solar plexus chakra is above that. It is a tiny ball of yellow energy two fingers above the navel.
At the center of your chest is the heart chakra. It is a tiny ball of green energy.
These red, orange, yellow, and green balls of energy spin and grow. As they get bigger, their energy moves up toward the throat.
The Throat Chakra
Located at the base of the throat is the throat chakra.
It is a tiny sky blue light, spinning.
With each breath, grow this blue light. Expand it first to your neck. Then expand again to the mouth, then the ears, then your entire head.
Take another breath and continue to expand this light.
Expand until it is all around you and you are in a bubble of blue light.
Hold that blue light all around you for three breaths.
Focus this beautiful blue light back on the throat. Coat the throat with this blissful light, both inside and out. Illuminate the voice box, the thyroid, and all around the neck. Send this light to the mouth to coat your teeth, tongue, and lips. This light expands to your ears, awakening your ability to listen.
This light heals all these areas as it moves over them.
Blue filaments of light glide over and all around the throat, strengthening the voice.
Chanting Hum
Keep your breathing normal. In a moment, I will guide you through a few slower breaths before beginning to chant the word “hum.” You can chant silently, whisper, or say the word aloud. Hum resonates with the throat chakra, awakening and strengthening it. As you breathe, bring the air into your belly.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now, inhale to chant.
Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
Inhale to chant.
Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
Inhale to chant.
Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
(Continue for about two minutes)
Return to normal breathing
Let your breathing return to normal.
The blue light still surrounds you. Your voice and all the areas in the throat chakra absorb this light and awaken.
Affirmations
You speak your truth
You have a voice
You are understood
You are a good listener
Spend a couple minutes in silence as you continue to keep this healing light energized. As you breathe, ribbons of this light touch your throat, mouth and ears.
Ending Your Meditation
Keep your eyes closed or capped as you near the end of this meditation.
It’s important to come out of meditation slowly.
Bring your awareness back to the breath. Allow yourself to feel the in and out rhythm of the rise and fall of the breath.
On your next inhale, allow the fingers and toes to wiggle if you wish. Gently shift your arms or legs as needed.
When you’re ready, open your eyes with a soft downward gaze. Keep your focus inward.
Open your eyes fully as you’re ready. You may return to your day.
Dear Cynthia,
I was hoping you would follow-up last week’s post with a guided meditation. I look forward to exploring / learning about the
other chakras with you over time.
Happy, peaceful Monday to you – thanks for this blast of inspiration.
Love and hugs,
Maria
Sweet Mar – I LOVE what you say here. Yes…I had fully intended to create a guided meditation to complement last week’s post. And then it gave me the idea to create a chakra meditation series, so…shh…hehe…I’ll be doing one per month. Happy new week to you! I wish you much love and many blessings. xo
Such a calming technique here and absolutely perfect way to start this March week off for me. So, thank you for sharing, as awlays and so many hugs your way now. Happy Monday xoxo <3
Sweet Janine, thank you! I hope you’ve had a great (calm) week! I’m sure spring break is soon and you get to spend time with your lil ones…who are growing so fast! Sending you big hugs and talk to you soon. xo
Lil Sis, just for you, I promise I will try this tonight. Right now I have deadlines to meet, so you’ll excuse me for rushing off. I have a ton of stuff to complete before the farmers market begins next month. Where the heck does the time go, Lil Sis? I swear I can’t seem to catch up, and that was once one of my strong points. lol Have a great week my talented and in-tune friend.
Big Bro – did you try it? What did you think? I hope you got all your deadlines met. 🙂 You sure are busy, my friend, and you’re about to get busier when the farmer’s market starts, huh? “Tempest does fugit” as my father-in-law used to say. He loved saying it that way and now I do, too. Time really does fly. We are on this planet such a short time. It’s incredible! I hope you’ve had a great week and I wish you many blessings and send you hugs as you begin another week. 🙂
Lovely dear Cynthia, I will most definitely be trying this meditation tomorrow.. Your voice is calming and peaceful. And I love the long pauses.. So often when listening to tapes etc they do not allow that pause for breath..
Just read your meditation script this evening and have the tape playing in the background. But I will be saving it and returning often to listen Cynthia..
Love and Light my friend and Thank YOU and for your lovely comment on my latest post..
HUGS my friend <3
Sweet Sue – Thank you for that. I hope you enjoyed it if you had a chance to listen. The long pauses are very intentional – I write them into my script so that I can constantly re-center myself, but also give folks a chance to do the breathing they need to do, too. They really emphasized that when I was in my teacher training, too. They talked about how novice teachers often forget to leave enough time for breathing and so I make a point to be sure to allow ample time for the breath. 🙂
I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. I’m not sure what’s up on your end, but I have been thinking of you lots. I’m sending you love, light, and many blessings, my friend. Can’t wait to see what you’ve posted today. I have your website open in my browser (so I don’t forget to comment on the weekend posts of my favorite people) and saw that you posted something. Happy St. Patty’s Day, by the way. xoxo
Isn’t this exactly what so many people need right now ~ A few moments of calm and inner peace xo You are a blessing to so many with your meditations and other suggestions, C. xxoo
Sweet Christy – right!? I wish for a world of calm and peace and so try to put out those vibes as much as I can. 🙂 Thank you so much for coming over and for the social shares, too. I appreciate you, your gentle heart, big smile, and all-around awesomeness. 🙂 Have a great week, sweet friend!
Like others, I am hoping for quiet time tomorrow. Trying to revise my to do list to include more time for meditation and reflection. It is a requirement now. My list is endless with things that require immediate attention so I’m shaving off things that don’t. The throat chakra is a good one for me to work on as I definitely don’t speak up often enough.
Marlene – that’s great! How did it go? Meditation…if everyone did it every day, I think we’d have a very different human experience on this planet. It empowers us with so much love and light…
And this is why I’m trying to teach it.
As for speaking up…oh how I can relate to what you say. It is my nature to not speak up. It’s my reaction to the world. Things happen, and unless I get backed into a corner, I have difficulty in speaking up. I wrote this meditation as much for myself as I did for others. May you have a wonderful week and here’s to singing to the world with our beautiful voices!! xo
cool.*
just add visual of me smiling to the ‘cool’.
Clark – ha! That’s right. 😎😎😎
