Pain in my throat chakra

Hemera · #1 12-02-2025, 02:16 PM

Hi. Since doing chakra/cleaning meditations regularly, I've developed pain in my throat chakra area, I mean quite significant pain. It feels 'glandy' so I'm not ruling out underlying illness, but it feels connected to the chakra work I've been doing.

I'm also thinking a lot about my thought patterns, manifestation etc, so it would make sense that my throat area is activated.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Do I just keep doing the chakra meditations/cleansing? Any specific ideas on releasing the pain? It's difficult to sit straight sometimes as my neck aches all the time.

Obviously if it doesn't clear up I will see a dr, but I can't feel any swelling or anything, just the pain.

I can't guess what is going on there but I do find herbal and salt gargles very effective when I have any (tonsil?) gland trouble, I expect most are very safe, stuff I have used in past include strong infusions of sage, thyme, garlic,clove,mint and rosemary.you could also check online for specific herbal or other rubs for the area eg castor oil.(maybe worth trying to see what the glands and tongue look like then doing some googling too)

First ruling out medical conditions, if it is really a throat chakra blockage, in my view what needs to be looked at is truthfulness. The throat is a connector between the heart and head, the seat of communication.

Life as it is, tends to make us engage in subterfuge and deceit. Such habits need to be weeded out.

The throat chakra blockage can be very traumatic, so it’s best to correct consciousness by effort if necessary, to avoid a blockage here.

Thanks both. Very helpful. I've started using fresh herbs in salad etc, so getting a taste for them! Previously I just used dried.

Truthfulness makes a lot of sense. I do feel it is chakra/subtle body related, but I'm not going to avoid the doctor if any other issues come up. I need to be honest with myself around some matters, plus trust myself.

I remember reading a book by Louise Hey on healing and she stated having problems in the throat area means that you need to speak your truth.

Pain can also be a good sign imo, means something is happening. (watch out for any chemicals on those salad leaves, I keep some vinegar spray by the sink as it is better to wash the chemicals off than just water as even organic ones can contain them and other pollutants)

Thank you Redchic and Podshell. I do think it's about speaking my truth.

I only buy organic so I'm assuming (hoping) no chemicals on my salad!

Unfortunately I have severe problems with histamine so vinegar - even as a cleaner - makes me quite ill.

Well I think I know why my throat chakra was activating. At the weekend a friend sent me an angry text. After some thought, I responded to say that his manner was not ok and that I wasn't saying he shouldn't be angry but his use of words was not acceptable to me. This was a big deal as I have historically been bad at setting boundaries for myself due to being in a difficult marriage, plus my upbringing. I had to speak my truth which was that I was no longer prepared to tolerate being spoken to disrespectfully. A huge step forward.

Congratulations!!

Reading your first post, late...If that were me ? I'd scream into a pillow or alone in my car ...as if
saying what I wanted to to the Universe or to a person.
The release is quite astonishing....get it all OUT! I actually learned that 55 years AGO! LOL!
Oh, how it was only yesterday!
