How Do I Speak My Mind

When I do body scan meditation I have noticed a blockage in the throat energy center. Not entirely sure how to get rid of it though.

Couple things come to mind. My friend went to a psychic that just simply said to him
there's a blockage in your throat area. "Go buy a clear crystal necklace and wear it".
He did that day ...and ends up venting to his wife.
He had stuffed his feelings and had not expressed them.
Oh, he had had a sore throat ---and it disappeared.
Seems the quartz crystal 'helped' him open up.

Then what some therapists do is have you vent/scream into a pillow.
Scream just anything. Unblocks it.

If you drive so you can be all alone...Sing in the car....really learn a song you love...and sing it!

Perhaps singing along to my favorite songs could work. I use to sing a lot as a kid but eventually stopped. Perhaps getting confidence back in my singing voice will get me the confidence to speak my mind.

Lol, one time I was on a ladder and asked one to get me a Phillips screwdriver -I immediately
came down from the ladder and did something else, because I knew I would never see her again!
Lol, hahahaha...and didn't.

NOW, I realize that was part of my mother's issue - she never listened to her kids, even as adults with imp stories ...
sure she was a clinically diagnosable narcissist with OCD ---but also ADHD.
(And she was an Administrator of a State Mental Hospital with 136 buildings! Not useless...)

Ohhh, haha. That is just like me

I try very hard to listen but I am so distracted by all the other movements, lights, sounds, textures ect, ect.

People say that I am being rude and that upsets me because my brain is trying so hard to take all the competing information in and make sense of it all. I get tired much quicker than many other people because my brain and nervous system is working so hard.

I am unemployed, I find it very challanging to maintain employment and also, I rely on other humans to make sure that I am taken care of.

I still consider myself a very valuable human being though, worthy of love, dignity, respect and fullfillment. I achieve personal fullfillment in my own way.

That sounds like a nice idea.

Doing things which build my confidence, things which I really enjoy help me speak my mind, for me, I do public speaking and it helps me to build my confidence TO speak my mind and also speak from my heart

I also taught myself alot about assertive communication this year and I developed this communication skill of lovingly asserting myself!

It has changed my life! I feel more confident and self assured than ever before and it is a skill which I continue to develop.

Hey, you just spoke your mind to me. You are already achieving your desire.

--------------------------------------

This is me speaking from my heart...From my perspective

I would feel very sad to live in a world where I felt that I could not depend on anybody at all.
In fact, our entire species would become extinct if nobody was able to rely on anybody.

I am very grateful to have support in my community and without it I would not have a chance to one day be able to stand on my own two feet in interdependance which is what my community helps me to do and the more supportive my community becomes, the stronger I grow within it.

It can't imagine how painful it would be to not be able to rely on anyone at all, that sounds very lonely, it is not a society I would like to live in.

I know this other Bunny who also speaks his mind, but in a different way.

I'm like you in some ways. It can be difficult to function in a job or learning environment and listen attentively to others. But i do find personal fulfillment in my own unique ways.

I don't place much importance as to whether me or others are useful or useless as i don't see why it should even matter. It sounds like a herd mentality way of thinking that we must be productive members of society or contribute in some way. And i feel like that can lead some to sink into depression or develop a low self esteem if they feel they "must" be useful. Its great if you wish to contribute in a productive way but i wouldn't see it as a judgment on a person's character or self worth if they choose to go off on their own and do their own thing. Or to stay focused on themselves and just their own life.
