Means to Activate Throat Chakra

A powerful means to activate this Chakra is Brahmari Pranayama.

One should inhale fully and fill the lungs as well as bloat the stomach. Hold the breath for a second and then leave out the breath slowly with a humming sound, like a bee as “hmmmmm”.

Every time we draw our breath, we breathe out with a ringing sound of the bee so that we feel the humming vibration in every organ of the body. The stress should be on feeling the throat vibrate.

With practice, we have to learn to keep the humming for longer periods.

One should start with doing these breathings 7 times for the first week, once every day. Later, one should try to chant this 21 times every day.

Our voice will start possessing magnetic qualities. It will then have the ability to attract people. Our voice chord will become free of distortions and words shall become sweet.

Through meditation too, one can activate the throat Chakra. One visualizes a 16 petalled flower, which bears the color of the blue sky. The mantra, one can focus on while meditating on the blue Lotus is “Ham” (हं).

Chanting the “Ham” mantra directly for a fixed time, with eyes closed, focusing on the letters of the sound can also activate the Throat Chakra. As one chants, one can visualize the blue lotus, parallel to the body.

The Lotus is moving in the clockwise direction if a third person is observing the meditator from the front.

Effects of Meditation

Once meditation starts becoming good, one can then feel rotating energy circles at the throat region. One may also feel hot and cold waves at the throat region.

When we start experiencing the energy, we can be sure of the Throat Chakra activation.

Throat Chakra and the Realm of Spirituality

One spiritual advantage of activating Vishuddhi Chakra is that from the realm of materialism, one graduates to the spiritual realm. It will be interesting to note that The Muladhara, the Svadhishthana, and Manipuraka Chakra represent the animalistic domain.

MEDITATION AND THE THROAT CHAKRA

The Anahata represents the transitional stage where one graduates from animal nature to human Nature. One who graduates to the Vishuddhi Chakra enters the realm of divinity. Graduating to the realm of the Throat Chakra (Vishuddhi) heralds entry into the stage of selflessness.

One starts living beyond oneself. The person also starts thinking more about others rather than oneself.

Vishuddhi Chakra is a milestone in our journey from animalistic tendencies to divine sensibilities.  Vishuddhi means pure.

Thus from the impure, a man enters the pure domain, hence the name Vishuddhi Chakra.
