I cried while listening, You are amazing.
Very good to see you talking about it and confirming my perceptions, for unwittingly I discovered the importance of the throat chakra years ago. I had already experienced the heart opening some years earlier but suddenly during meditations I began to be aware of the contractions in my throat that were reflecting profoundly in my breath. The contractions seem to extend down toward the heart. As I started to refine my attention to the subtleties of breathing, I was able to perceive all the emotions and pains that were "hidden" in the breathing, causing changes in the rythm and the flow of the breath.
Through acute observation, I started to seek for what I called "perfect breathing". I would work out the flow, the rythm, trying to find the perfectly relaxed breathing. As the attention refined, I was able to perceive a kind of hidden or subliminal breathing that seems not to be of the body. It's like feeling the will. The will to inhale, the will to exhale... I synchronized my bodily breath with it and had a deep indescribable insight. A great opening happened. All the pain that was imprisoned in the throat was realeased and I found myself in some settled awakened state, deeper than before, that lasted for days.
The breathing is the radiography and diagnosis of all the problems of the body. That was my perception after that. All that needs healing in the body can be seen in the breathing. Healing the breath is healing the body.
The most consistent gateway to awakening is in my throat. Everytime I deeply relax the throat region, I mean really physically, from the skin inwards, everytime I relax the inner parts of the throat, the gates to heaven are wide open.
But it seems to be a work to be done in a daily basis to me. Maybe there's so much conditioning to repress myself, repeating the patterns with which I was raised up, that now everyday I repress myself in some measure, and everyday I have to release myself. Nonetheless there is for sure some progress towards the end of this need.
My genuine thanks for sharing your experience I've gained much from it as I've also been giving more attention to how my throat gate /chakra coordinates with breath as well as the lower & middle dantiens. As the only physical connection to the skull / head where the upper dantien resides should emphasize its significance & I've always wondered why it isn't given as much attention (usually) as other chakras or dantiens.
Your voice is soooooo soothing. U make so much sense. Please provide exercises to help open this throat chakra.
Dude I know! He lulls me to sleep without even trying lol
Thank You. once in childhood out of pain I had to ask my father to 'leave me alone' and of course he got offended and made sure I get to taste the pain of suppression by threatening me for expressing my feelings.
Feels like an aspect of denying my shadow self, and creating the experience I desire instead - yet, with a harsh contrast that has continued to come up... v helpful.
Thank you for this. Have had sore throat and neck and head for past few days. Have always been fearful of speaking my truth, doing speeches, social anxiety, stuttering
Thank You from my heart 🙌🦋 sending you blessings of pure love 💚
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I’ve been crying so much out of nowhere lately and now I understand that what I’ve been repressing is actually hurting me in all ways. My throat has been hurting for a long time now and doctors can’t seem to help me or even finding evidence of the pain. I figured it must be incomprehensible for the physical world, and thus I am healing my own way now. Thank you again. I just subscribed to your channel, because I really enjoy the way you talk. You have such an enjoyable voice to listen to.
Speaking truth with people who hurt you doesn’t lead anywhere, create more problems and drama.
I cry so much !!!!
It’s good to let go and let it all empty out of you
The root, heart and throat are the chakras that I have the most trouble with. During my kundalini activation, I literally had to scream and moan out in order to release the energy so it would raise up to my third eye. I'm still unsure if it actually reached my crown or not. Ive had a lot of throat chakra issues post awakening so this video is much appreciated. Thanks for all the work you do
how you overcome the throat chakra opening?
This was the best explanation of the third co-creation and self-realization law: authentic expression. I will reference this episode. Thank you!
I agree w/you Craig .the only thing I can say is that if there is mental illness say because if a really traumatic event or events the person may need to do this process w/a guide to help process it in a safe environment.ie.ptsd.thank you.much love
Beautiful words my friend.
"I DONT NEED TO CARRY THIS ANY LONGER"
Omg the thing about mother not coming...the terror arising & the mind feeling it might go crazy...I really relate with that...does anyone else?
Thanks a lot for this video, Craig. Just watched this yesterday and suddenly understood why things weren't working so well for me right from childhood. Your words have opened up a whole new doorway for me to further travel. Although a lot about throat chakra was already known, a "click" happened after watching this. Thanks once again and wishing you the very best.
So glad these teachings could be of help. 😇
Thanks for the great contet. Please do a video like this for all the chakras.
Have a Great day!
When I open up my throat chakra and I feel the emotions start to arise. My body starts yawning. Like it's interrupting the process and I I'm not allowing myself to cry. I'll keep trying to work on it.
Take off your mask, yes this is a common experience. It’s a subtle form of resistance to healing. Keep intentionally opening and see what wants to come
this happened to me too!
stuttering, "nervous" twitches, throat clearing out of nervs, irregular breathing just a few of the signs of "closed" or blocked throat chakra...stiff neck and shoulders. not just verbal expression here.... the throat expresses also via ANY soulful purpose that is being "expressed" Appreciate here the info here regarding the overlay and how the chakras relate.... so the heart can be blocked BECUASE the throat isnt expressing the divine purpose
( for one example)
Great video, clear and well explained. Thank you!
loved listening to this vid while starting my new journal . i cant wait to continue my self healing journey
Blessing dear

Thankyou this has been the most useful information for me
Thank you great info 😍 Namastê 🙏♥️💛💙
very interesting...you have englightened me alot....
Thank you. 🙌🙏🙌🙏
I do think there might be a correlation between KA and hair madness. At least for me - and I think Craig too 😉
I can’t control my wild hair! Sometimes I cut it all off, but it keeps growing back
Yeah as a woman it gets even madder for me. Especially since those head Kriyas in bed. I mean if I’m not careful I’ll end up with a shaved head or Rastas.
Oh thank you 🙏🏼 that really helped
Ready for 2 chakra lesson...craig.
I like your video a lot. Things fall in place for me due to your lesson. Thanks so much! I am a high sensitive person and my parent couldnt give me the affection en emotional support a child needs during childhood. In our family we were always taught not to complain and to swallow our sadness. Nowadays I am facing emotional problems due to that. I guess opening my 5th chakra can be very usefull for me. Are there more exersises for opening the fifth chakra?
🙏🙏🙏🙏. Very helpful 😊🤗☀️☀️☀️
I like it for occult purposes
I think mine is all fucked up, I can't stop talking when I don't want too. Way too much expression.
🍀 lucky
Yes, yes, yes, hun! 😪🤧😍😘
I’ve been stuck on my throat chakra for a long time I have the most issues arising here. My throat opens up during intentional practice and I feel the physicality bubbling up and it’s so uncomfortable .
Hello Craig, when I meditated on my blood vessels for a change, I found there the suppressed childhood fears and emotions in blood and the corresponding toxins may be in the process of elimination. Please tell me whether this experience is authentic.
Life is complicated, my Gosh.
You seem to be good at fooling people. Well, there is a sucker born every minute.
Please seek Jesus Christ
Thank you
