 Hello Earth citizens. In this video, I will show you a 10 minute routine for your fifth chakra. Your fifth chakra is located in between your collar bone where there's a dip. This area right here is your fifth chakra. So typically we say this is the throat chakra because it encompasses the area of your throat. So it affects places like your thyroid, your voice. Your fifth chakra is your gateway of self-expression. So some people might experience some blockage or scratchiness or stuffiness in their fifth chakra if they're always used to stuffing their words down. They're not able to in a healthy way express what they need, express what they want, express how they feel. They tend to stuff their feelings down inside that causes blockage in your fifth chakra. But interestingly enough, on the other hand, you know people who are too vocal about their opinions, they're too opinionated, they talk too much. Those people also experience imbalance in their fifth chakra as well. So some signs that you can tell if you have some blockage in your fifth chakra is if you feel scratchiness in your throat, if you feel like something is choking you, if you feel some kind of unexplainable stuffiness in your throat, like you can't breathe very well, or you feel like your voice is not coming out clearly. You feel that sound is not coming out clearly from your fifth chakra. So if you experience any of these things, hopefully this 10-minute routine will help you open up some blocked energy in your fifth chakra so that you could get energy flowing while there again. As we've been going along in this chakra series, we've been telling you the colors of the different chakra points in brain education. The colors are slightly different from what you're traditionally used to. So we say in our practice that the fifth chakra is a green color like this. So because the fifth chakra is associated with your throat, we're going to be using our voice and breath a lot. So feel free to either lie down or stand up or sit down. If you can't sit down like this in half lotus posture, any other posture is okay because the breath and the voice are what's going to be important. But for the purpose of this video, I'm going to show you sitting down in half lotus. All right. So sit straight with your spine nice and stacked on top of each other. Close your eyes. Focus on the top of your head. Before we start, let's receive energy down our chakra line. Focus on the top of your head. Imagine that from the sun, a pillar of light enters your body through the top of your head and trickles down the center of your body until it reaches the base of your spine. As you feel this energy coming in, take a deep breath in through your nose, exhaling out through your mouth. Again, breathe in. And with a soft sigh, exhale out from your throat. One more time. Breathe in. And exhale out from your throat. With your fingertips and your wrists nice and relaxed, tap the dip in between your collarbone with your fingertips like this. So rather than tapping your collarbone, tap the space in between your collarbone. Good. As you tap here, keep your jaw relaxed. Kind of like when you take a nap, you're sleeping with your jaw relaxed like that. So keep your jaw nice and relaxed. Breathe out through your mouth. Let's tap here for one minute. So first, try to breathe with kind of like a very throaty breath, like that, from your throat. As if with your throat, with your breath, you are pushing out stagnant energy from your throat. As you do this, if you cough in the process, that's a great sign. If you don't cough, that's still okay too. 30 more seconds, two more breaths, and stop. Sweep your neck down. Bring your hands to your knees. And now let's do neck rotations. First, tuck your chin in towards your chest. Feel the stretch in the back of your neck. Gentle breathing. And now chin up, gently touch your teeth together. Chin up. Feel the stretch on the front side of your throat. Return. Now to the left side. Exhale on any tension you feel. Return. Now the right side. Now from here, make big circles. You don't have to go fast. Just make sure you can really feel the full rotation of your neck muscles. Each little muscle sinew fiber stretching as you move. Let's do five on each side. Make sure you breathe too. Breathe. Can you feel all of your neck muscles? And now the other side. Make sure you feel every muscle in this rotation around your neck, making your muscles less tight, making them nice and loose will help you open up blockages there. Two, three, breathe out through your mouth. Now shake your head gently, side to side. Side to side, loosening up your neck. Okay, return. Sometimes this might be all it takes for you to loosen some energy blockages in your fifth chakra because a lot of it has to do with the tension that I'm holding on my neck because if your muscles here are tight, then it affects the energy for your fifth chakra too. All right, we're going to go back to tapping with our fingers. Now tap here. And now this time, instead of just a breath, I want you to make a sound from your throat. Don't try to make a sound. Just open your mouth and let sound naturally come out like this. All right, okay. So this time, point your chin up a little bit to give your throat a little bit more room. Tap the same place and now make a sound from your throat. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, and stop. Okay, great job. Now bring your palms close together. And if you're energetically sensitive, you can probably feel some tingling sensation in your fingers now from all the tapping. Maybe some of you might feel some heat. Maybe some of you might feel some magnetic sensation. If you're not able to feel anything, please tap your fingertips. Tap your fingertips for 30 seconds and then stop and feel the space between your palms. For those of you who can already feel the energy in between your palms, move your palms in a circle and create an energy ball in your palms. We're going to create a ball of energy and then insert it into our throat chakra. So this requires concentration. Please focus on the energy sense between your hands more than me. Just listen to my vocal guidance and focus your attention in between your palms. You can close your eyes if it helps you focus. Create an energy ball in between your palms that we will place into our fifth chakra. Let your hands feel the outline of the energy ball. As you focus your attention there more and more, you will feel the energy growing and something forming in between your palms. Focus on your palms and like a snowball as you gather your focus in your palms, the energy in your palms also grows. If you can't feel it, that's okay. Just concentrate as much as you can and even if it's a small energy ball, create something that you can feel right now. A few more seconds to create the energy ball and then we will place it into our fifth chakra for energy healing. Alright, so now bring your palms out like this. Imagine you're holding a green ball of energy in between your palms and at the count of three, I want you to bring your palms to your throat and imagine you are placing this energy ball into your throat. Are you ready? Slowly lift it up in front of your throat. One, two, three. Imagine the green ball of energy in your throat and now gently move your hands around in a circle as if energetically you are moving all the blockage, sweeping down all the debris, all the blockage from your fifth chakra, whatever is blocking you, whatever you're holding back, whatever you're suppressing in your throat, with the energy of your palms sweep it all the way and you can also sweep it down to your chest and down and out. Okay, stop. Now place your palms touching your fifth chakra, stacking your palms on top of each other, send energy, warm energy into your throat. Imagine from your palms warm energy heat, loving energy is coming out and going into your throat, making your throat warm, making your throat open and making your throat healthy. Great job. Take a deep breath in, lower your hands to your knees, breathe in and sigh out and breathe in. Sigh out from your throat. More time, open your eyes. Do you feel that something in your throat is a little bit more open? Maybe try saying out loud and see if your voice comes out more clear, more defined and more confident. If you feel that you need to open your fifth chakra a little bit more, feel free to re-watch this video and go through the 10-minute routine again at any time. You did a great job.
