Feeling blocked?

For the most part, I would say I’ve always been a  natural, and confident communicator. Being in tune with my body physically and energetically, I’m guided to areas that require work. 

The throat chakra is our self expression vehicle; it’s where emotions and intentions converge to create words, words that then create meaning and connection with others. So when we feel blocked in this energy Centre our ability to express ourselves and communicate becomes halted. 

Since the beginning of our self isolation I’ve been making a conscious effort to keep our lives as close to ‘normal’ as they can be, and for the most part I’ve been successful. Spending most of the time entertaining/tending to my family, doing my own practice on the mat, and then using any free time/energy creating and producing content to stay connected to my lovely community.

Sadly, these last few weeks, that “time” for ourselves and for creation has become fleeting. Both girls not sleeping during the day, and a 2 year old near impossible to get to sleep before 9pm. It’s not surprising that I’ve been feeling a little spread thin, as I externalise all my energy with the intention of serving others. This is not a cry for help or sympathy, I’m always ok with how things unfold, but rather an explanation as to why I’ve been a bit quiet on this front, and why I will be, as I need to start internalising some of this energy for myself. 

In fact, it’s taken me at least 2 weeks to write this,  finding the words, finding the right words, wondering how those words would be perceived, holding back and then starting again. This choking if you will, or holding back and not speaking from a place of truth indicates to me that energy flow to Vishuddha is hindered and requires my attention. 

Physically I’ve been experiencing headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and although my thyroid disease is managed some of the symptoms of that have been surfacing. So this post is not to say that I’m taking time away, more so, that I’m taking time within so that I can realign myself with my creative identity, and in doing so continue to work with you all from a place of authenticity on the mat in the near future...
