different part of well.
Us like our being exactly andthe throat chakra specifically.
(01:07):
It's all about speaking yourtruth, being clear in how you
express yourself and connectingwith your creative side okay, so
let's jump into those prompts.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Okay, the first few are all about exploring your
communication.
Prompt number one asks us tothink about a time when we felt
well held back.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Held back.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, like we couldn't express ourselves fully
.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I see why was it so hard to speak up in that moment.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Hmm, I think this prompt can be really eye-opening
because it forces us to thinkabout the reasons we hold back.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Like what's going on underneath.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Exactly.
Is it a fear of judgment, maybelack of confidence, or maybe a
time in the past when we felt, Idon't know, unheard or
dismissed?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh yeah, those past experiences can really stick
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
They do.
You know, for me it used to bespeaking up in meetings at work.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Work situations can be tough.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So tough.
I was always worried aboutsaying the wrong thing or
sounding foolish.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That makes sense.
But prompt number two it goesin the opposite direction.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh, interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It asks about a time when you felt truly heard.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Heard and understood.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, what made that experience so special and how
did it affect you?
Know how open you felt incommunicating.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Wow, that's a good one.
It makes you realize how muchwe all want that feeling of
validation.
You know when we're talking toothers.
I remember once I was goingthrough a tough time personally.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We all have those times, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And I confided in a close friend.
And she just listened, nojudgment.
It made me feel so safe to justopen up.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Exactly when we feel safe and heard.
It's like a weight lifts, youknow, and then we can
communicate so much more freely.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It really does, Like that fear of being judged just
melts away Now.
Problem number four brings upcommunication styles.
It asks what healthycommunication means to us.
What are the things we shouldaim for when we're interacting?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Hmm, that's a tough one.
So many different ways tocommunicate.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh, many, and I think what's healthy can be different
for different people, differentsituations too, but in general,
what do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I think active listening is key and empathy,
Respect for differentperspectives and being clear
about what we need.
Setting boundaries too.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Boundaries are huge.
It's about being able to standup for ourselves, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
But doing it respectfully, yes respectfully
and authentically.
Which brings us perfectly tothe next section, honoring your
authentic voice.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Prompt number 11 asks you know what does it mean to
really honor your voice withoutthat fear of judgment?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh, that's a big one.
For me, I think it meansrecognizing that our voice has
value simply because it's ours.
We don't need anyone else'sokay to express ourselves
authentically.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You got it.
It's trusting what you knowdeep down.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And letting yourself speak your truth, even if it's
different from what other peopleexpect.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Even if it's different from what you think
they want to hear.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right.
So how do we actually do that?
Put it into practice?
I mean, problem number 12 makesus think about a time when we
really did speak up forourselves.
What happened, how did it feelto just I don't know stand in
your truth?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Ooh, that's powerful.
I think this prompt reminds usof how strong we are.
You know, resilient.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's about remembering that we do have a
voice and we deserve to be heard, but it can be a struggle.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
For sure, especially if you're someone who's always
trying to please people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Or someone who hates conflict.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Which is why prompt number 16 is so important.
It asks about finding thatbalance between speaking and
listening.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Because it's not always about making your point
right.
It's also about being open towhat other people have to say.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's like finding that sweet spot.
You know when you can be yourtrue self and still connect with
others, really understand them.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I like that, finding that sweet spot.
Yeah, it's a dance, isn't it?
It really is, yeah, but thatsweet spot.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, it's a dance, isn't?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
it, it really is.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, but sometimes you know we get stuck.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, yeah, those pesky communication blocks.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
That's our next set of prompts actually Overcoming
communication blocks.
It's all about those thingsinside us that I don't know,
that stop us from trulyexpressing ourselves.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Those inner obstacles .
They can be sneaky too.
They really can.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You might not even realize they're there Until you
start digging a little Exactlyand prop number 21,.
It really encourages us to dothat digging Self-reflection
time it is.
It asks us to think about well,to identify those patterns.
We have those habits that keepour voice quiet.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The things we do over and over.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Maybe we're afraid of confrontation.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Or we just I don't know second guess ourselves
before we even say anything.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's like those patterns they get so ingrained.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They do.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And they're hard to break, but you got to see them
first.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, that's so true.
Recognize them, I mean, andthen prompt 22.
It goes to the core ofsomething so many people
struggle with, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What's that Fear?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The fear of being misunderstood.
Or rejected when we try to beour true selves.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It asks us to think about where those fears come
from, where they started.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Like, are they rooted in things that happened to us
past experiences?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I think so often.
It's like our past leaves theselittle energetic marks.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
On our throat chakra.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right, and then we hesitate to open up again.
Maybe someone shut us down whenwe were kids, when we tried to
share our opinions.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or a relationship went bad, you know, and we ended
up feeling like our thoughtsand feelings didn't matter.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Exactly Invalidated, but prompt 30 offers a way to
deal with that, to move throughthose fears.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It suggests journaling, getting those
unspoken emotions out.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Unspoken, maybe even unfelt.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, the ones that are clogging up that throat
chakra.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Journaling can be so powerful.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It is Like creating this safe space, yeah, to just
let it all out, those thoughtsand feelings we might not be
ready to say out loud.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And sometimes just getting it on paper.
That's enough.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
To start to shift things Energetically.
Now this next section.
I'm really excited about thisone.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
What is?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
it.
It's called Connecting withCreativity and Expression.
I love that it highlights thecreative side of the throat
chakra.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, it's more than just talking.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So much more.
It's about art, movement, music, anything that lets you tap
into that creative flow.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Finding that flow state.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yes.
Prompt 31 asks us to thinkabout a creative activity we
enjoy, one that lets us expresshow we feel.
It could be painting or writing, or dancing.
I think it's amazing how theseactivities can help us release
emotions.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like a moving meditation almost.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I love that.
And then Prompt 35 takes it astep further.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It encourages us to share what we create.
Ooh love that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And then prompt 35 takes it a step further.
Oh, encourages us to share whatwe create.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh, that's a big step .
It is.
It can be scary to put yourselfout there like that, especially
if you're used to keeping yourcreative side private.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So true.
What do you think stops peoplefrom sharing?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Fear, probably Fear of judgment, rejection, or maybe
just thinking you know thatwhat you create isn't good
enough.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think it's brave to share your art with the world.
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And empowering.
It's like saying this is partof me.
Take it or leave it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love that Ownership .
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, and prompt 40, it really sums up that link
between art and the throatchakra.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
How so.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It makes us think about how experiencing art,
whether we're creating it orjust.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Art has this way of touching us, doesn't it?
Inspiring us, connecting us?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It does and when we really let ourselves be present
with art.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Present.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, like fully engaged with it.
It helps us find our owncreative spark.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And express ourselves more authentically.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Exactly.
It's like art gives a voice toI don't know, to the unspoken,
both inside us and in the worldaround us.
So the final section of promptsis all about setting intentions
for self-expression.
It seems like, after all thatreflection we've been doing, now
it's time to actually dosomething.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
To take action.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yes, prompt 41 asks us to pick one area in our lives
where we want to well to speakup more, more openly and
authentically.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Could be relationships or work, or maybe
even just how we talk toourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's a good one, our inner dialogue.
So it's about figuring outwhere we feel stuck or blocked
and setting a goal, you know, tochange that dynamic.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It makes flow better.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Exactly and prompt 42,.
It encourages us to find amantra or an affirmation,
something to help us express ourtruth.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Words with power.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
They do have power, don't they?
What are some affirmations thatyou like.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I love, my voice matters or I am worthy of being
heard.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh, those are good.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And I express myself with clarity and confidence.
Saying those things over andover it can really change how we
think about ourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's like reprogramming our minds, almost.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And building up that belief in ourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Giving ourselves a little pep talk, a reminder that
we can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, like we're giving ourselves permission to
be who we are, to speak ourtruth.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, and then we have prompt number 50.
The last one, and it kind ofbrings everything together, ties
it all up how so Well it saysthat having a balanced throat
chakra it isn't just about youknow saying what you think.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
There's more to it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It's about, I don't know, living authentically,
aligning with your purpose, likewho you are at your core.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Deep stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It is deep.
When your throat chakra isbalanced, you communicate
clearly, yes, but you're alsoexpressing your true self in
everything you do.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Ah, I see your words and your actions.
They're all in sync, Exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And you can go after what you want.

exploring all these prompts.
Speaker 2 (10:51):

Speaker 1 (10:52):
As we wrap up, is there one last question,
something to really make ourlisteners think that you'd like
to leave them with.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Hmm, well, thinking about all these prompts, what's
one small step you can taketoday to honor that authentic
voice inside you?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Could be journaling about a fear you have, one
that's holding you back, ormaybe doing something creative,
something you love, or even justsetting an intention to speak

Oh, that's so true.
Recognize them, I mean, andthen prompt 22.
It goes to the core ofsomething so many people
struggle with, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What's that Fear?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The fear of being misunderstood.
Or rejected when we try to beour true selves.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It asks us to think about where those fears come
from, where they started.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Like, are they rooted in things that happened to us
past experiences?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I think so often.
It's like our past leaves theselittle energetic marks.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
On our throat chakra.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right, and then we hesitate to open up again.
Maybe someone shut us down whenwe were kids, when we tried to
share our opinions.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or a relationship went bad, you know, and we ended
up feeling like our thoughtsand feelings didn't matter.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Exactly Invalidated, but prompt 30 offers a way to
deal with that, to move throughthose fears.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It suggests journaling, getting those
unspoken emotions out.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Unspoken, maybe even unfelt.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, the ones that are clogging up that throat
chakra.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Journaling can be so powerful.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It is Like creating this safe space, yeah, to just
let it all out, those thoughtsand feelings we might not be
ready to say out loud.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And sometimes just getting it on paper.
That's enough.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
To start to shift things Energetically.
Now this next section.
I'm really excited about thisone.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
What is?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
it.
It's called Connecting withCreativity and Expression.
I love that it highlights thecreative side of the throat
chakra.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, it's more than just talking.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So much more.
It's about art, movement, music, anything that lets you tap
into that creative flow.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Finding that flow state.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yes.
Prompt 31 asks us to thinkabout a creative activity we
enjoy, one that lets us expresshow we feel.
It could be painting or writing, or dancing.
I think it's amazing how theseactivities can help us release
emotions.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like a moving meditation almost.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I love that.
And then Prompt 35 takes it astep further.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It encourages us to share what we create.
Ooh love that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And then prompt 35 takes it a step further.
Oh, encourages us to share whatwe create.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh, that's a big step .
It is.
It can be scary to put yourselfout there like that, especially
if you're used to keeping yourcreative side private.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So true.
What do you think stops peoplefrom sharing?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Fear, probably Fear of judgment, rejection, or maybe
just thinking you know thatwhat you create isn't good
enough.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think it's brave to share your art with the world.
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And empowering.
It's like saying this is partof me.
Take it or leave it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love that Ownership .
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, and prompt 40, it really sums up that link
between art and the throatchakra.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
How so.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It makes us think about how experiencing art,
whether we're creating it orjust.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Art has this way of touching us, doesn't it?
Inspiring us, connecting us?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It does and when we really let ourselves be present
with art.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Present.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, like fully engaged with it.
It helps us find our owncreative spark.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And express ourselves more authentically.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Exactly.
It's like art gives a voice toI don't know, to the unspoken,
both inside us and in the worldaround us.
So the final section of promptsis all about setting intentions
for self-expression.
It seems like, after all thatreflection we've been doing, now
it's time to actually dosomething.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
To take action.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yes, prompt 41 asks us to pick one area in our lives
where we want to well to speakup more, more openly and
authentically.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Could be relationships or work, or maybe
even just how we talk toourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's a good one, our inner dialogue.
So it's about figuring outwhere we feel stuck or blocked
and setting a goal, you know, tochange that dynamic.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It makes flow better.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Exactly and prompt 42,.
It encourages us to find amantra or an affirmation,
something to help us express ourtruth.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Words with power.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
They do have power, don't they?
What are some affirmations thatyou like.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I love, my voice matters or I am worthy of being
heard.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh, those are good.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And I express myself with clarity and confidence.
Saying those things over andover it can really change how we
think about ourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's like reprogramming our minds, almost.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And building up that belief in ourselves.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Giving ourselves a little pep talk, a reminder that
we can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, like we're giving ourselves permission to
be who we are, to speak ourtruth.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, and then we have prompt number 50.
The last one, and it kind ofbrings everything together, ties
it all up how so Well it saysthat having a balanced throat
chakra it isn't just about youknow saying what you think.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
There's more to it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It's about, I don't know, living authentically,
aligning with your purpose, likewho you are at your core.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Deep stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It is deep.
When your throat chakra isbalanced, you communicate
clearly, yes, but you're alsoexpressing your true self in
everything you do.
Speaker 2 (10:26):

They're all in sync, Exactly.
