so my throat has been sore-ish for about a month or so, now. like, as though there's a frog in it. for a while i thought i was sick, but i don't think i'm sick. i think it has to do with the vishuddha (throat) chakra, and communication. i've been working on that, subconsciously, i think, so it's sore from being repressed. and also active after years of repression, maybe. hummm. very interesting. i've been focusing on my throat chakra in my yoga, and i think it might even make it worse. but i think that's actually a good thing. the only way out is through!! and sometimes when something is repressed, you've gotta experience it and get it moving. and it feels yicky for a while, til its clear.
The throat chakra is our voice center. It is through our spoken word that we express ourselves to others. The healthfulness of this chakra is signified by how openly and honestly a person expresses himself or herself. A challenge to the throat chakra is for us to express ourselves in the most truthful manner. Falsehoods and half-truths energetically pollute the throat chakra. This behavior violates both our bodies and spirits. Repressing our anger or displeasure by ignoring our feelings through evasive sweet talk, or silence, will manifest into throat imbalances such as strep throat, laryngitis, speech impediments, and so on.

The throat chakra is associated with the vocal cords and the thyroid gland. It is the chakra of communication, telepathy, and creative expression. Unexpressed emotions tend to constrict this energy center. Your inner truth is your sense of what is correct-your innate tendencies and inclinations. In every situation, we should be humble, open, and receptive, suspending all previous judgments in order to grasp the inner truth of the matter. If we rely on the truth of our inner voice to guide us, our actions will be in accord with the times.
