It can be hard to stay enlightened in a technological environment, and our communication skills may suffer at the hand of our busy schedules. Communication is not a skill we can suddenly master; we need to invest time in improving it. Our communication style is something we need to evaluate and shift often, as we learn through experience what works and what doesn’t.
Speaking and expressing emotions are the most natural human inclinations, yet often the hardest to master. It can be very hard to talk about our feelings, needs, and desires if we haven’t opened our heads and our hearts for honest, vulnerable communication.
Fortunately, there are metaphysical tools and practices that can assist you on your journey toward more effective, compassionate communication with others. Let’s take a look at a few unique items and rituals that will help you sharpen your communication skills while making it easier than ever to really open up and start talking.
There are many interesting and fun ways to open your throat chakra, one of which is singing. Put on your favorite song on in your bedroom, your car, or even the shower, and belt like no one can hear you! (Even if they can.) Not only will singing get that throat chakra open, aligned, and in order, but it actually boosts your mood as well.
Hydrate! Drinking water soothes the throat, purifies the intestines, and cleanses the body. Drink water frequently and focus on the cooling sensation in your throat as it travels down into your body to cleanse and nourish.
Think blue. Blue is the color associated with the throat chakra, so when you feel that your communication skills need brushing up, surround yourself in cool tones and blue hues. Don a blouse in a shade of cerulean that you can peek at throughout the day, or take a stroll outside and soak in the sky blues of the atmosphere.
Remember that everyone is facing their own battles, and prepare yourself for each conversation by reminding yourself to speak with love in your voice and compassion in your heart. Speak to yourself with the same love that you share with others; being kind to and respecting yourself is a key ingredient in the recipe of effective, open, and honest communication.
Whatever your message is, if you open yourself up to better more effective communication, you’ll find yourself learning and evolving each and every day.
