the spiritual practice of seeking our truth

Seeking a more intimate connection with ourselves and each other, as well as something bigger than us all, is often what beckons us to a spiritual path.

For many of us, the throat chakra can be a major frontier of growth in this area.

The throat chakra is often described as the bridge between the heart and the head. Known as the communication hub, it governs all the ways we communicate—how we move out in the world and express ourselves as well as how we receive and the quality of our receptivity and listening.

Here’s the thing: we often don’t think about how we communicate to ourselves, which is a critical aspect of developing the art and skill of self-expression. When I look back at my journals from decades ago—we’re talking high school or grade school!—it’s heart-stopping to read how hurtful and actually violent my self-talk was. I was literally attacking myself.

Self-compassion can shift the way we talk to ourselves, care for ourselves, and communicate and advocate for ourselves.

This unfolding process is the spiritual practice of seeking our truth, and when we pair it with the practice of Deep Listening, we learn to be present with ourselves so we can courageously and completely be that way with each other… which allows everyone we come into contact with to do the same.

These two practices can help us bridge our head and our heart.

In this 30-minute meditation practice, I’ll share more about the wisdom of the throat chakra. Then we’ll transition into a listening practice using our breath as a teacher to be with ourselves (and each other) with more compassion.

In this 20-minute slow flow, we’ll sense support of earth and then open up our shoulder, chest, and neck to embody the sky-blue spaciousness of this energy center. It’s my intention for us to practice connecting with our authenticity while also remaining in a reciprocal, compassionate conversation with the world.
