What are some mental and physical exercises that unblock the throat chakra?

[Aion]

You could do it in to a pillow? Or disguise it as vocal warm ups aha

The thing is that sometimes when I do this exercise, a LOT comes out. Like a scary, call-the-police-and-lock-your-doors intensity. And it is beyond frustrating to limit the intensity of jibberish meditation once I start (i.e., having to tell myself 'not louder than this.') As in, the energy that was prepared to expel out of my throat crams itself back into the crevices of my body that were thought to be relieved, doubling the anxiety associated with it.

Mm, yes I understand how that is and really for full effectiveness you don't want to have to hold back. Are there any local wilderness areas that might be effective?

[Agua del Cielo]

Dear Sjel,
i have a "hypothesis" for you. I'll just speak freely with no claim to be right, maybe it has some value for you exploring this.

To begin with i would say that im not very convinced of the approach to attribute an issue to a certain chakra, for two reasons.
First reason being, usually any issue or blockage has portions in various chakras, by "concentrating" on one only, we risk excluding important factors!
Second reason, we make assumptions, what a chakra "stands" for and don't into account that our view might be greatly limited, thus excluding more factors.
The end product being a very limited view on the subject, that might well exclude EVERY factor contained in the current issue.

That said, i would offer another important aspect of the throat chakra:
Self-image
In my understanding the throat chakra is, before all, about how the entity perceives itself, which would obviously affect which "image" one tries to convey.
I think we all suffer from a distorted self-view, the degree of distortion might vary and the exact kind of distortion, but basically we are all on the same bus.

Now, what i gathered from various of your posts, there seem to be quite a lots of portions of yourself you dont accept and don't like.
Like for example "overcoming low-vibrational desires".
The approach seems to be rather to "overcome" it, to get rid of it, than seeing it as an important and worthy part of yourself, that you want to explore and get to know.
This would indicate, that it doesnt belong to you, that you have to get rid of it like an annoying fly.

My theory here would be (i experienced again and again on my journey) that you try to view yourself as "further progressed" than you are actually.
I think this is a very common issue on the path, but it is one of the biggest obstacles in my opinion.
In viewing ourselves as "more evolved",we first make a judgement, we decide what we consider evolved, this view or judgement might be totally distorted!
And we rob ourselves off the chance to heal and progress further.

Imagine you want to take a Train from Paris to Rome, but you want to believe youre already in Milano. While in Paris, you buy a ticket from Milano to Rome.
Unfortunately this ticket will get you absolutely nowhere, nowhere at all.
You would need a Ticket from Paris to Rome.

Now, i would not condemn this by no means, but examine it a Little further.
I guess this has two main components.

Many of us probably never have been seen as what we truly are by our families, very young we took the road of behaving a certain way and conveying a certain image that was more "acceptable" by our surrounding.
The result is, we never feel good enough for what we simply are.
(this is very much simplified, it's only about the Basic scheme)
(there would ne red ray, orange, yellow and Blue be involved!)

Another component, when we make ourselves believe we already know ourselves, we already dealt enough with these "lower" issues, there is no need to really explore this anymore, since were already done with it.
The truth would be, we actually know it's not true, and a part of us knows, which pain, distress or whatever is waiting there, and we actually fear this.
Once you experience whatever is contained in that "lower" stuff, you will perfectly understand, why you didnt want to deal with it.

I would suggest exploring the Concept of the "inner child" just in case you dont do this already.
A part of you (in fact multiple parts) is still (stuck in) a Little child.
This Little child is what you were when you were young and did experience hardship.
As long as dont deal with this, the child will still be in pain.

When you view these "low vibrational" stuff as a child, you might ne more willing to deal with it.
You probably wouldnt tell a little child that has experienced much pain and is seeking your help: "go away, i dont want to Deal with you, i just want to overcome you!"
You would take it in your arms, listen to its story, give it Space to feel safe, accepted and comforted, you would dry his tears.
And by doing so, this child would heal. Each pain, each negative emotion only has a finite charge. No Child will cry forever when you really hold it.
Sooner or later, this child in you can return to it's natural state, which is a joyful, loving, fully alive being.

So in short, instead of trying to force yourself into a "higher", better or more wanted state, accept, integrate, and deal with the "lower stuff" because behind that lies your natural, higher, more wanted state of being.

Sorry for that lengthy post, i just couldnt write it shorter...

[sjel]

Sorry for that lengthy post, i just couldnt write it shorter...

No, that really helps. It's true that I often perceive my challenges to be things that would only afflict a 'lower-evolved being such as myself.' That's definitely a distorted self-image.

My theory here would be (i experienced again and again on my journey) that you try to view yourself as "further progressed" than you are actually.

In fact, I think you're even more correct than that - we actually are "further evolved" than we think. This helps me to realize that I am the nexus of a vast number of incarnations and millions of chakra challenges.

I think I have very deep lower chakra blockages, because over the past month or so I have cleared more of them than I have cleared in my entire life, and it appears that there is still more. I don't know if I said this, but I only noticed the throat chakra blockage because I had almost completely cleared the red-orange-yellow triad temporarily. (and green, which isn't as difficult for me once the others are opened up) I had never had my red-orange-yellow triad fully open before! It was a very good feeling So that right there is something I can be proud of, and know it is possible to sustain with practice. It made me excruciatingly aware of that damned throat distortion, though...

I'm glad you keep driving home the home the point that the orange/yellow rays are vitally important and in fact are infinitely beautiful in their own right, because I still need to hear that. I've come to appreciate the distortions of physical existence SO MUCH MORE lately, so I am vastly more willing to confront the ugly stuff with joy now. I guess it's just time to go deeper

Thanks Agua  

[Agua del Cielo]

Not to discourage you, but i would say, to clear the lower chakras (at least almost) completely is a matter of decades, even if one consciously works on it.
When you really use all means available (breathwork, meditation, therapy and so on) depending on the design of the very person maybe 15 years, but only with highly accelerated growth.

To encourage you, i would say, that much much earlier one really enjoys life here on earth.
Almost all of our emotional issues are of lower chakra nature.
Even the motivation to do higher chakra work while neglecting the lower three is actually a red-ray blockage in my experience.

When the lower ones arme clear to at least a degree, usually green ray opens up quite often automatically, which is, as we all experienced, a highly pleasant State of living.
Also, i found red-ray issues, specifically the unwillingness to live an earthly life, the blockage number one in opening the gateway to intelligent infinity.
Once this issue is healed, access to II is probably unavoidable for wanderers, i guess!

[Agua del Cielo]

In fact, I think you're even more correct than that - we actually are "further evolved" than we think.

Hmm, a matter of perspective maybe.
In theory and in potential, since Most here are probably 6D wanderers.
But this is not available to us here.

So it's like somebody saying he's the greatest singer in the world, but never sang, but IF he WOULD sing he WOULD be great...know what i mean?

There is no spiritual better or worse. If only the highest would be worthy, then no one, even a 7D being would be worthy, Jesus would be a lousy beginner, because all are less evolved than the creator itself obviously.
I don't think the creator is watching creation and thinking "what a bunch of idiots" well, sometimes maybe, hehe

A friend said to me some years ago " spiritual progress without healing is no progress, it's just the ego thinking it made progress".
I was mad at him, but after maybe i year i could See the truth in it.
I think for a very Long time on the path it's almost exclusively about healing.

17.2 Questioner: Is it possible to help an entity to reach fourth-density level in these last days?
Ra: I am Ra. It is impossible to help another being directly. It is only possible to make catalyst available in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self, less important being information such as we share with you.

We, ourselves, do not feel an urgency for this information to be widely disseminated. It is enough that we have made it available to three, four, or five. This is extremely ample reward, for if one of these obtains fourth-density understanding due to this catalyst then we shall have fulfilled the Law of One in the distortion of service.

We encourage a dispassionate attempt to share information without concern for numbers or quick growth among others. That you attempt to make this information available is, in your term, your service. The attempt, if it reaches one, reaches all.

We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?

Guess it needs a thorough job, but I found that finding frequencies you can't sing to be helpful.

Like make your voice go higher/lower and find a tone your voice skips a portion of the spectrum and then focus on the frequency it skips and it energizes a distorted portion of the throat chakra.

I may resonate more with this exercise because of awfully needing it, but who knows, while it's something I found for myself I guess it can probably be helpful to someone else.

YES in fact after I posted this I started to experiment and this very exercise is something that arose naturally. Like you find the frequencies or tones or certain types of sounds that are most irritating to you, the ones you generally avoid, and you absolutely hammer that frequency out, dwell on it, make that noise for as long as you can, shaping it and massaging it until it's completely worn out.

Afterwards you find that that particular throat blockage no longer afflicts the overall expression of your voice, and your voice as a whole sounds lighter and clearer.

I would post an audio example, but a) I'm too embarrassed and b) my family is home so double embarrassed. I think I'll start a thread in which we can post our recordings of this throat chakra clearing exercise. It's pretty interesting to hear.

[Minyatur]

I did this mainly because singing along songs made me realize those holes in my voice.

Don't worry about feeling embarrassed, I feel this way too thinking about recording and I don't particulary like my voice. I really don't like singing in front of people, last time I did I think I got told I sucked at it haha

[Global Avenger]

To me, one of the most significant things about the throat chakra that Ra talked about was the need for honesty. In fact, it is a "paucity of honesty" in our culture that is one of the reasons for difficulty in penetrating this energy center. So when I think about unblocking the blue ray, I don't think just in terms of communication, but of honest communication.

I have a bit of a unique interpretation of what exactly honest communication is. As example, say that you get get incredibly angry at a person and call them all manner of insults then punch them in the face. This would be an honest expression of how you feel, right? But I do not think that it is indicative of a person who has opened the heart chakra and penetrated the throat chakra.

Honesty, to me, in this context, is understanding yourself to such an extent that you know where you are communicating from, so that what you are communicating is sort of naturally imbued with your honesty. You understand the depth behind whatever it is you are saying, you realize the path you have walked which causes you to form whatever opinion it is you are expressing, you have an awareness that you still have distortions or biases and try to account for those, you have grasped the nature of your personal evolution to an extent that it informs how you view others and how you communicate with others. The required honesty seems to come from the need to be honest with one's self, before honesty with an other-self.

Part of this, I think, is then communicating in a way that you determine to be effective. You are able to better see where another person is coming from and attempt to meet them there. Instead of just shooting off what you believe to be true without consideration for how it is received, you do your best to communicate so that your communication will be understood with minimal distortion. It means your truth may be shared in different ways with different people.

With that in mind, I think one of the most effective exercises is simply discussing with someone you disagree with, and be mindful of a desire to understand and to be understood. Instead of trying to "win" an argument and be right, turn the argument into a discussion. Ask people why they feel a certain way, share as honestly as possible (with consideration for the other person's feelings) why you feel the way you do, and try to find common ground. And be comfortable with walking away with disagreement still in place.

A less intimidating exercise is to practice having discussions from two different points of view. I have found this especially helpful when attempting to work through issues with personal relationships.

I think a lot of people have arguments in their head with people, but we often skew those arguments so that we are victorious. I have found that this energy which feeds this internal arguments can be harnessed and ultimately released by becoming more mindful of them. Instead of allowing them to stay in your head, write them down. Take both sides. First, explain your point of view, your emotions, your part in the issue. Then do your best to put yourself in the other person's shoes and genuinely try to explain things from their perspective. Have a conversation back and forth with both sides attempting to come to an understanding of the other side.

This exercise not only helps practice mindful communication, but is very helpful in coming to a better understanding of ourselves and cultivating an empathy for those we seem to be in opposition to. You can take the exercise to another level by actively speaking for both sides. And make it even more powerful by recording yourself, audio or video, explaining one side of a discussion, then putting yourself in the mentality of the "other," and watching yourself, then recording a response to that.

You will feel and look like a crazy person, but I have found these sorts of methods incredibly powerful. It is always interesting to see the depths of the conversations I can have from different perspectives, and when recording myself, it can be very eerie to watch myself enact roles that I normally wouldn't express.

hello, and thank you. looking specifically for information regarding blue ray blockage, i found your post most informative. my particular difficulty lies in finding the right opportunity in which to speak my truth. this is subtle work as the other-selves of my community are kind and considerate but ultra-conservative and to hear 'my truth' would simply frighten them. the first distortion is in play and how, and respecting free will is a constant consideration. the need is inversely proportional to the opportunities. it's tough. my lip is sore from biting. one person can only come up with a limited number of segues from southern baptist philosophy to The Law of One. it does make the few opportunities golden. while writing, it occurs to me this just may be a manifestation of my situation. but i must find other outlets i suppose. thanks again.

Spiritual and physical lump in the throat. I perceive it as a hardened lump of metaphysical animal fat. What are some visualization or mental mind game exercises I can do to melt it away?

sjel, for the past year and change I've been clearing out blockages at an incredible pace, and helping others do the same.  

What we don't realize (due to the unfortunate bias in our species, which leads us to perceive the world around us in mechanical terms) is that "blockages" are conscious energy.  Yet, we mistakenly think of them as things or obstacles, and either try to ignore them or push them out.  What we don't do is communicate with them and help them heal.

Try this.   Close your eyes and focus your attention on the blockage.  Notice what you're feeling toward it.  Shift away from anything other than pure compassionate love and tender caring toward it - after all, it's a part of you that's been injured, and requires tender care and comforting.  

Once you can feel compassionate love towards it, see if you can get a clearer sense of what it's feeling.  Is it fear?  Sadness?  Hopelessness?  What does it look like, if anything?  Just observe and perceive - there's no thinking involved here.  

If it helps you to find compassionate love towards it, you can imagine yourself holding it like a baby in your arms, or giving it a loving hug, etc. 

As you continue radiating your love towards it - which we here all know is an actual, potent energy -- the "blockage" will begin to heal and relax.  If you can see it with your inner sight, you will begin to perceive changes in its appearance.  E.g., if it appears as a dark cloud, it may begin to get lighter and thinner.  If you perceive it as a person, he/she may begin to appear more animated and less distressed.  You may perceive warmth in the part of the body where the "blockage" resides as your love warms it. 

[Note: do not attempt to force these changes in the "blockage's" appearance.  In fact, do not attempt to force anything!  Healing is accomplished with gentleness and love; any attempt to force things will interfere.  Just as one would expect, given the Law of One, no?]

After doing this for a while, when the "blockage" appears more relaxed and more open to you, ask "it" if it's ready to release the distress it's been holding.  Ask it what it's afraid of or upset about.  Then, speak to its fears or concerns like you would to an upset child.  Reassure and comfort it.  Ask it what it needs to hear from you.  Don't need to think the answers - simply listen and notice what comes to you. 

Absolutely all internal distortions can be healed through this process.  They are "blockages" because they have been cut off from Love.  By showering them with pure Love, they become healed and re-integrated into the whole You.

That describes perfectly well my process of how I explored blockages.

If I had to give steps:
1. Close your eyes and breathe in slowly as you dive within the blockage, become what it feels with your wholeness.
2. Hold your breath, or breathe in even more slowly, and open your eyes and feel what it makes you feel extending the moment.
3. Exhale and expand this feeling of love and what you most sincerely wish to this emotion as you intake your next breaths.
4. Keep on comforting, finding beautiful and wishing well as all this pain turns into a moved wellness.

[sjel]

Yes, thank you Stranger. In fact I have discovered many of these techniques since I posted this.

And Minyatur, this step number one is EXACTLY what I realized is the best way to confront blockages. I relax all the recesses of my body, (spiritual and physical), and allow the so-called 'blockage' to seep into every pore, every part of my mind. Any resistance, I tell myself (and I really believe it now), is unnecessary pain I add to myself.

So I COMPLETELY experience this blockage, and in fact I make it as intense as possible, because I've discovered that actually dissonance is effing beautiful, there's no beauty like dissonant beauty, the beauty that surprises you because you thought it didn't exist. And if I manage to relax into the intensity of the perceived dissonance, then I experience a feeling of expansion directly correlating to the intensity of the blockage.

Some days/nights I just go hard and take a bunch of iodine and just get hammered with repressed blockage after repressed blockage, and if I vape a lot of weed I am able to simply lay on the floor and let all that dissonance flow in and through me. Sometimes it's like going through several weeks of catalyst in one night, the day after I feel spiritually tired and satisfied like after a hard workout.

[sjel]

Oh and another thing: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PAINFUL! Seriously, this is huge for me, I had this idea that working through catalyst is supposed to be pure suffering, but no! If you literally relax and accept everything the INSTANT it arises, it is the best feeling in the entire world because you immediately expand to include that thing. I assume that after a while of this you won't even notice any resistance in yourself at all, only expansion.

"Because the sage always confronts difficulties, He never experiences them."

[Stranger]

I tried something different based on the ideas gleaned from others' posts here and the central message of this book.  

I sat to meditate and instead of focusing Love on one part/blockage, instead focused love on my whole self, and just kept pumping it out from the heart center.  Immediately there were a few thoughts coming from various areas of the body saying "we're not deserving", etc. but I said "yes you are" and just kept pumping it out.  

My third eye and crown chakras kicked into high gear, very strong sensations.   Very powerful clearing out occurred.  After the meditation ended I spent about 20 minutes coughing and retching, and felt aglow.

That sounds wonderful. It also sounds like something that only happens after a massive amount of preliminary work. I can't imagine what it's like to have an activated third eye and crown chakra, given that I'm still heavily engaged in the lower energy centers and to some extent the heart center.

I might start a thread regarding heart chakra energy, because my heart has been purging negative emotions for quite some time now, but it seems to have entered subconscious purging recently because all I feel is back pain that stems from the central heart core. It's like my whole body is super healthy physically, but the spiritual body is purging and therefore it bleeds into the chest and back area.

I haven't been able to breathe in all the way, which would definitely be a source of major panic attacks were I not aware that it results from my deeper heart chakra opening up. I've read about other people experiencing similar pain in the back and chest, a compression that precedes the full opening. So I'm being patient, doing yoga and whatnot to attempt to alleviate the transition.

But anyway, congratulations, that really sounds amazing. Has the 'release' feeling lasted? Do you think it will last? A few times I've managed a complete opening of my chakras up through my heart, but in the 24 hours following the experiences my old belief systems would snap me back into place. Which now I realize is beneficial, allows for greater expansion of your being.

[Stranger]

sjel, thanks for the kind words!  

I think it may help you a great deal to focus on the area of pain with compassion and curiosity, and get to know it, as I described in my first post in this thread.  Treat it like an injured part of self and focus feelings of tender caring toward it.  Spend a few minutes in that, and then simply speak to it.  Ask it what's going on; notice what the feelings are that it's holding.  Once it feels more relaxed, ask it to release whatever burdens it's carrying.

As you continue sending love its way, over the period of hours or days, it WILL eventually dissolve, and this is permanent.  But cannot be forced.

I believe this is a more helpful approach that trying to open chakras.  When the injured parts of self are healed -- and our behavior is consistent with STO, which avoids creating more injuries -- the chakras open by themselves.  

Good luck to you, friend!

[Minyatur]

I can't imagine what it's like to have an activated third eye and crown chakra

It's hard to explain, especially when there quite some varying deepness you can reach into an open crown chakra, but if I had to word it I'd say it is much like being the Creator aware of the eternity that it is.

You often spoke of confusion and how we are bound to it. If through your crown your reach a state in which you are your higher self aware of itself, you would know truly what it is to be without confusion. It's hard to describe through words so you'll know the feeling when you get there and I don't really doubt you will in this life.

1. All obstacles are internal.
2. Love heals all internal obstacles.

These are two messages I've received which turned out to have surprising power.

A while back I remember thinking, "why do I have do deal with all this BS anxiety whenever I try to do virtually anything? It's difficult enough dealing with all the nonsense out there in the world, without having also to struggle against internal obstacles." Then I got a very clear message: "All obstacles are internal."

Much later, I discovered that love seemed to be surprisingly effective at clearing out blockages, I began to wonder and asked my guides about its limitations, and was told that love is not just part of the answer - it is *the* answer to dealing with all internal distortion.

[Stranger]

Here's a way to deal with painful emotions in the moment. (This comes in handy when working as described above, because as we focus on an unpleasant emotion, it can become uncomfortably intense -- the usual human tendency is to run away from our feelings and block them off, but here were are actually facing them.)

So, focus on the emotion, stay with it, but (in your mind) begin to step back out of it, so that you are seeing it in front of you. Keep walking backwards, until you're seeing it in front of you, in the distance. Notice how you're feeling now - the intensity fades significantly.

From this vantage point, you can begin radiating love from your heart towards it, relaxing and healing it, until it becomes more "friendly", at which point you can get closer.

If you just need a break from it but aren't quite ready to heal it at that moment, you can think of a super strong transparent cube that's unbreakable and completely sealed, and put the emotion into it so it can't escape.

This will help you feel better nearly instantaneously, but realize that it's not a permanent solution - just a way to create temporary breathing room and mental/emotional clarity.

I've used this with myself and even with my young child. Here's a detailed example: She was feeling angry and crying; I asked her to close her eyes and focus on the feeling, putting down whatever she was holding in her hands to avoid distractions. She saw a red angry face. I asked her to walk backwards from it, 20 paces. She felt a little better and stopped crying. I said, "what is the angry face angry about?" and she said, "It doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

I told her that it needed to be loved and helped to feel better, and asked her to cuddle it. Within seconds she said the face was now yellow (like a smiley face) and smiling. I told her to bring in some kittens and puppies in her mind and have the two of them play with them. She said the face now had red hearts instead of eyes and was very happy, but she still felt a tiny bit mad. I asked her to tell the face to let go of any mad feelings it was holding. At this point my daughter was 100% back to her joyful and playful self, about 3 minutes after we started. Importantly, she was able to do this herself without needing someone else to come to her emotional rescue (other than provide verbal instructions which she can eventually learn to do completely on her own).

Clearly long-standing "blockages" take more work than that for adults, but this is a nice illustration and I'm pretty sure that this way of self-healing may well be one of the most important skills I ever teach her.

[sjel]

1. All obstacles are internal.
2. Love heals all internal obstacles.

Wow Stranger your methods of dealing with blockages seem to be right in line with what I am pursuing. I put quote #1 into my favorite quotes section. It reminds me of a quote I read recently by Carl Jung: "When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside of you as fate."

I especially love the story about your child - every time I read something like this I get the sensation of love for the child, followed by the feeling that in turn I am the child loved by older and wiser beings than I.

That's exactly how I think of it, sjel.  Thoth said, "As above, so below."  And I think that we heal ourselves by learning to treat all the parts within ourselves ("blockages") with unconditional love, in the same way that Logos treats the parts within himself (us) with unconditional love, no matter how distorted we are.

We grow spiritually by learning to see and treat the world around ourselves more and more the way the Logos sees the world - as One, loved unconditionally as the Self.

And this quote from Ra 1/31/1981 is relevant:

Ra: I am Ra. We ask you to consider as we speak that there are not words for positively describing fourth density. We can only explain what is not and approximate what is. Beyond fourth density our ability grows more limited until we become without words.

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within peoples. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way.

Disharmony within self is caused by blockages, which are our parts distorted away from Love.  Any time we have inner conflict (e.g., "I want to take this job but I'm afraid") it's because there's one core part that's confident and growth-oriented, and another, distorted part that's anxious and requires healing through unconditional love.

Therefore for us to reach 4D it seems we need to heal all of our internal damage, release and reintegrate all our parts -- exactly what the Jeshua channelings say is our most important task at this time.

When we do, we release the damage the parts are holding and the parts become one with us -- in the same way that as we learn to treat others around us with love, we get closer to becoming One with others as a social memory complex.

The psychologist who discovered that we have distorted internal parts, Dr. Richard Schwartz, says that inside we have internal parts (i.e, blockages) and outside we have external parts (i.e., other people).  As inside, so outside.  It's beautiful.

I love how it all fits and makes sense together.

hello, and thank you. looking specifically for information regarding blue ray blockage, i found your post most informative.  my particular difficulty lies in finding the right opportunity in which to speak my truth.  this is subtle work as the other-selves of my community are kind and considerate but ultra-conservative and to hear 'my truth' would simply frighten them.  the first distortion is in play and how, and respecting free will is a constant consideration.  the need is inversely proportional to the opportunities.   it's tough.  my lip is sore from biting.  one person can only come up with a limited number of segues from southern baptist philosophy to The Law of One.  it does make the few opportunities golden.  while writing, it occurs to me this just may be a manifestation of my situation.  but i must find other outlets i suppose.  thanks again.  Love and Light

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad my rambling was helpful.

I think you're right about how one's own social environment is a major variable in the ability to develop the blue ray. Some types of environments can perhaps be more conducive to discovering how to communicate with others through their distortions. In some environments, the variance in distortions might be so vast that it's hard to even get a foothold. And I imagine that the Southern Baptist church might be one of those environments.

But like you said, those few opportunities that do arise are golden. And I do think it is a blue-ray activity to exercise patience, understanding when, where, and how might be the best ways of communicating something. To me, that you are contemplating this while in your current community indicates that this is probably a planned lesson for you.

Spiritual and physical lump in the throat. I perceive it as a hardened lump of metaphysical animal fat. What are some visualization or mental mind game exercises I can do to melt it away?

I had this exact problem for quit some time and Bring4th_Plenum helped do some unblocking meditations for me. The resolution came down to accepting myself, my own power and truth, and speaking that truth with balanced conviction and power.

Have you tried mudras? I use these when I meditate. https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-20543/7-...akras.html
