5th Chakra, Throat

-
I recently had a brief conversation about the Throat Chakra/ 5th Chakra. I hope this small very summary will be interesting and helpful to you. There is soo much information now days!! I encourage you to look under the "Book Shelf" for a few resources to start you on, or support your continued path, of building an internal sense of knowing your system at a deeper level including but by no means limited to physically, spiritually, energetically, cellularly...yes, it's a word ;-)


It's important to remember that the 5th Chakra/Throat, is about much, much, more than finding & keeping our voice. The 5th Chakra is an important relay station, between the upper and lower energy centers (& physical systems). It holds on to information from both the upper & lower chakras...for that reason some call it the "Holy grail". 

There is a reciprocal influence between the Throat chakra (the structures within & in relationship to the throat), and neighboring physical structures & energy centers & lines. Just like we've talked about the fact that the physical body is an integrated functional unit, the energy system is also an integrated functional unit comprised of much more than 7 energy centers, some say there are more than 100.

SUPER short info relevant to the 5th chakra: The throat digests, so to speak, information flowing down & through it from the chakras above, as well as information flowing UP through it from the chakras below... it "metabolizes" that collection of information which then becomes how we express ourselves in the world:
~ Mentally/cognitively
~ Emotionally 
~ Spiritually
~ Physically (think about the structures directly in relationship with the throat and associated anatomy...including the TMJ, Thyroid, Esophagus just to name a few! Think of the nerve roots coming out of the cervical spinal levels of your throat and the structures those nerves connect to causing them to function in healthy ways! Those too would be influenced by energy field blockage in the 5th chakra)

It's really a cool & complex energy hub. That collection of information is multidimensional it includes past, present, physical (including cellular), spiritual, cognitive, emotional etc... From THAT foundation, we integrate information & experiences and move forward into the world expressing ourselves & learning how to apply our will & choices physically, verbally, Spiritually etc.

I hope this was interesting and helpful. I hope this supports you on your continued path to building your personal library for Self Healthcare!

Basic Low Back Self Treatment ** Always perform self-treatment techniques within a comfortable range of movement. If you have no comfortable range of movement consult your PT or qualified Manual Therapist for appropriate evaluation and treatment ** According to the National Institutes of Health, low back pain (LBP) is the top reason for calling off from work as well as the most common form of workplace injury. Most people have had at least one episode of intense LBP. If you're one of those people, then you know how rare it is to score a same-day treatment appointment! Even though the body is an extremely complex integrated system, looking into the anatomy and the relationships between all the structures can help open some understanding as to why you feel the way you do when pain arises.  While you are waiting for that appointment date to arrive, there are things you can do to help yourself. Knowledge can be comforting especially when you're in pain! So, here we go...

Self-Treatment For Neck & Shoulder Pain

Headache, shoulder pain, stiff neck got you down?? Try this! Be gentle, remember that you are elongating muscles, fascias and their attachments which in turn opens the space between your head, neck and shoulder. Keep your head in line with your body/not tilted toward the floor. Elongate gently on each side (even if your discomfort is only on 1 side), holding for a slow count of 5-10. Notice what you feel, micro-adjust within your comfort zone, and repeat daily for optimal benefit. ***If shoulder pain or restrictions prevent you from holding this position, just allow your arm to hang naturally down to your side and continue as instructed.

Dem Bones, Dem Muscles, Dem Body's

How is it, that the  cause  of pain is so  often nowhere near  the point of pain? Example: One study found that a sprained ankle, left untreated over time, can cause TMJ pain and dysfunction in the side opposite the sprained ankle, how cool is that!?! It's because our body is an  integrated functional unit.  From head to foot, left/right, inside and out, all parts influence each other all of the time.  The image above is one basic example of our true physical nature. Our body is a web of interconnection between muscle, tissues, organs, and fascias. Those connections are how, o ver time, untreated foot, ankle and knee injuries can contribute to low back pain, hip pain, TMJ dysfunction to name a few. Have you ever had an injury that caused you to limp for days, weeks or months? Limping, by its nature, creates an imbalance in weight distribution. That imbalance triggers unequal muscle tightening. Those muscle tensions cause strain on join...
