Limiting Self Expression and the Throat Chakra

The idea of 7 Steps of the Soul came about because I wanted to create a business centered around the understanding that everything is energy. And we can remove barriers to growing by dissolving "stuck" energies that are in the way. Part of those energies are the 7 chakras of our being. Those energies can spin too fast or slow, causing us to be off-balanced, and sometimes risk emotional and physical consequences. With 7 Steps of the Soul, I plan to work with people in many ways, but ultimately balancing out the 7 chakra system in our body, causing a more harmonious existence.

If I'm going to work with other people, you bet your ass I have to do this work on myself first. The chakra that I have always had the most trouble with has been the throat chakra. If you have any knowledge of the 12 Core Dynamics which describes our layers of conditioning, the unbalanced throat chakra is closely related to Limiting Self Expression. I have spent much of my life playing it "safe", to make people happy and not stir the pot. For some reason, I never felt worth it enough to express myself without any inhibition. With much work around this, I have come far, but still struggle from time to time. This blog is a great exercise for someone worried about what others think!!! And it doesn't seem to be a coincidence that the first moment I get sick, it goes straight to my throat. Interesting, yet very telling...

Let this be a reminder to say what you are feeling as often as you can, make decisions without thinking about who will not like it, and to live for yourself as much as possible. And if you find yourself having trouble, at least be conscious that this is something that needs to be worked on...you do deserve it.
