I watched a YouTube video from a woman yesterday who talked about the throat chakra and symptoms of a closed throat chakra, one of which included listening to other people's voices and opinions. I wonder if I do that too much. Does it count if it's not people's opinions in your lives but experts through books, podcasts, and videos? I am constantly seeking after other people's views on life and spirituality. I think it helps me grow. However, maybe I have gotten to an unhealthy point with that.
Is there I way I can open my throat chakra and focus less on other's views and more on my intuition? According to this woman, a lot of your intuition lies in your throat chakra too, not just your third eye. That definitely would explain why I am struggling to find original topics to write about. Instead I'm always relying on what I've read or listened to recently. And those topics, of course, are important, and sometimes people need all that information compiled into one space. I definitely would be a great researcher who can compile lots of interesting spiritual information from different places into one easy-to-read article. Maybe that's what I'll do!
Anyway, there were many remedies she discussed for opening the throat chakra. Writing was one (that is definitely one I could use more of and am constantly seeking more time and motivation to do!); saying "Ah!" and opening the jaw, physically and energetically opens the throat. Singing! Amazing that all my strengths involve opening the throat chakra; it's like my destiny knew I would need these outlets to be a full person and energetically lit-up. And humming; I do this a lot, just when I feel led to during meditation, and I assume my body knows I need it so I start to do it without prompting.
The throat chakra is connected to creativity. This woman said that you might feel energetically constipated if your throat chakra is closed because you have all this stuff you need to express and no way of doing it because your throat chakra is closed. Painting and coloring are good ways of opening up the creative expression again.
It's funny that I used to paint all the time when I was in early college. Now, I am too critical of my work, my writing, my painting. It's like I have a block there that I want to express something but my ego doesn't want me to. It's like it knows it has more of a hold on me when I don't express myself. I'm more in my head, just as this woman describes (Sonia is her name; I just looked it up).

I'm going to try to rely more on my own intuition and less on others' opinions, especially on spirituality. I know I can make new discoveries this way, and I'm excited to see how it goes! I'll also be implementing more of these methods in opening my throat chakra, so my intuition can blossom and my throat and heart chakra can finally meet. I'm hoping this will open up more creative outlets.
