Previously I shared two links to YouTube recordings of music to heal the throat chakra in this post, in case you missed it.
Today, I want to share more about this.
Keep in mind that the throat chakra includes the throat, jaw, chin, mouth, lips, cheeks, nose, and ears — basically from the clavicles to the eyes.
Sound penetrates our bodies. We’ve probably all felt the vibration in our bodies when we’ve been near a large bell being rung or a gong being struck or loud music coming through a speaker.
Since sound travels in waves, and we are made of waves as well as particles, of course it enters our tissue, fluid, and energy fields and influences us.
The human love of rhythm and music must go way back, long before writing and probably before language. Harmonic sound is pleasing, and we are immersed in natural rhythms: our heartbeats, breath, deeper rhythms within us, circadian and celestial rhythms, life cycles.
I believe sound can harmonize our bodies at a cellular level, creating higher coherence, which means our various systems coordinate with each other better.
Can sound cure cancer? I haven’t heard of that, but I believe it’s possible.
In my experience, sound can definitely create a sense of inner peace.
Insight Timer
I use the free smart phone app Insight Timer for meditation. It has a timer for silent meditation, chanting, and breathing among other practices, and thousands of guided meditations and music for meditation.
In the app, you can do a search on “throat” to find guided meditations and music for the throat chakra. There are many!
I found seven musical meditations, ranging from 4 to 35 minutes in length. The one I’ve listened to most is Throat Chakra Singing Bowls, by Sonic Yogi (29 minutes).
(If you don’t want to use the app, that meditation is also available on Bandcamp here.)
Self-Healing
Healing takes place when we are relaxed, when our parasympathetic nervous systems (rest and digest) are dominant.
If music can help get us there, our bodies can work on healing.
To take your self-healing further, while you listen, visualize sky blue or turquoise light surrounding your neck and jaws.
Imagine a sense of spaciousness.
Deliberately relax the tight muscles with each exhalation.
If you are suffering from TMJ pain and discomfort, I hope you will find some relief from listening to music designed to clear and heal the throat chakra.
