5th Chakra - Vishuddha Chakra - Throat Chakra – Self Expression

2010-10-07T08:32:00.000-07:00

A while ago I looked in the mirror and asked myself, if I really live my life as I want to? Do I express my inner being and allow myself to be who I am? Do I speak the language of truth and let my soul unfold? My eyes were gazing back at me, searching for a sign and at the same time reflecting the answer from my soul.

The soul can never lie, but a blocked throat chakra can limit us to hear the soft voice of our inner being and bound our way of communicating. Our own thoughts, fears, insecurity or the lack of faith can be a barrier to express our feelings, creativity and the connection from the inner to the outer world.

This is not all the time easy, right? We all know the feeling of having a lump in our throats when we do not say the truth or deny our feelings and emotions. Letting go of these contractions can let us step in the field of unlimited possibilities and allow us to unfold our inner beauty in so many ways. Yoga, dancing, singing, writings and any other ways of expressions can help us to open the vishudda chakra and listen more to ones intuition.

The reflection of my eyes in the mirror gave back a clear answer and empowered me to take a step in the unknown, a giant leap towards another life. Two years ago, I left my good paid and secure banking job in Switzerland for living my dream in Bali for 18 months. This brought me beyond my old habits of the mind and allowed me a new way of seeing, a new way of living and being. Since 6 months I am back in Switzerland for a banking project and feel how much empowerment I gained by following my intuition and the words from within. It feels easier to communicate by knowing that I can make my own choices in life. I keep asking myself “what inspires me?”, try to listen to the whisper of my soul and live my values and dreams.

We are all different; we are all unique and beautiful in our own way. There is no other human being like you, no one has the same feelings, talents, words, movements and thoughts as you have. By speaking the words of YOUR soul, sharing YOUR gift from inside out you can make the world a better place and let your soul unfold like a flower in spring.

The Sacred Sound

The Sacred Sound

My hands touching each other gently in front of my heart, finger on finger, palm on palm, a soft pulsation from skin to skin. Right and left melt into each other, masculine and feminine in a marriage, sun and moon in union in a balancing dance. The vitalize flavor of my next inhale flows through my nostrils, fills every corner of my lungs with new life, energize my body and calms my mind. My mouth opens lightly, inviting the sacred sound of OM to finds its way through me to the world, to share my inner voice with the sound of the universe to unify my heart with the divine. Second by second, moment by moment flows the spirit through me, like a river towards the ocean. Every cell of my body vibrates, leaves a sweet nectar of peace and freedom. My soul reflects my inner temple in a bright light, crystal clear like on a cloudless November day. My thumbs dawn with my heart and I bow to my inner teacher in gratitude and love. Oommm........

We are speaking the same language...

We are speaking the same language…

Even when we all come from different countries, even when we all had another upbringing, even when we have different believes and speaking different words, we all speaking the same language, the language of our soul!

I went to my laundry shop the other day and the beautiful balinese girl Wayan turned around and watched at me with eyes full of tears. I could feel her pain, I could feel her suffering, I could see the drops of her soul falling down her cheeks. There were no words I could express in English that she understands, but there were the gaze into each others eyes, holding her hand for a minute, strike her soft and brown skin and sharing my compassion and love with her! In these moments the soul talks, in these moments there is a communication without words, there is an understanding without sentences.

It was the same day I had a walk on the beach and I stopped , when I saw the children jumping into the waves, turning from one side to the other, splashing water into the air, running towards each other, embracing and laughing. Their eyes were bright shining, talking the language of joy and happiness, full of life . They had so much fun, as they were giggling and shared their experience of pure joy with each other. I was touched again and saw that communication without words, so easy to feel and understand.

A tear is a tear and a smile is a smile, wherever we go in the world and our hearts speak the universal language without any barriers of words....

Lets communicate on a soul and heart level, listen with a deeper understanding and there will be no more misunderstandings …

What a beautiful thought…

When our soul whispers…

The early morning sun kissed the day awake, quietly and smoothly, like a kiss from a mother to her new born baby. Nature dances to the symphony of a new day, innocent and pure, enfolds her full potential and beauty, without fear, without any specific plan, but with harmony with each other. Like in a theater has everything it’s own role to play. The birds, who sail joyfully through space with wings wide open, the tropical leaves, who dance in the soft wind to the melody of life, the spiders net, who shines in the sun like a mandala of angels hair.

The beauty of this morning touches my heart and whisper to my soul. I am sitting here, inhale every second of this constant dance of the universe and it feels like am melting into that picture, that I am one with it.

My mind gets quite and I hear my soul whispering in a gentle, smooth voice. She talks to me, tells me the story of life, the truth and laws of nature.

Every morning is a new beginning and it is up to us to embrace the new and unknown in our life. Everybody is beautiful and unique in its own way, play their instrument of god in the orchestra of life. She remembers me that we are all flowers, waiting to bloom, to share our colors and our nectar with the world, without expectations of rewards just in the benefit of being and living.

The treasures of life are in that every moment, within you and me. Lets get quite and let our soul whisper…
