Throat Chakra
Self Expression - Truth - Clarity
Communication is the foundation of everything we do. Whether you leave the house or not, you still communicate with others daily, be it online or in person like at the grocery store. How well you get along with people hinges on how well you communicate. How successful you are in life hinges on how well you communicate. There are a few 'rules' that you can apply to all of your communications.
Why?
This is specifically for work or professional communication. Often, we can and do waste a lot of time and energy communicating when we don't actually know why we're bothering. So, think about what you would like to accomplish? This can also be applied to your personal life, even idle chit-chat can have some type of purpose, whether it's bonding or getting to know someone. When others initiate a conversation, consider why it's taking place. If you can't understand why try to gently guide the dialogue to determine the why to remember only if you feel like it, don’t force. The purpose of this is to focus and understand why to avoid rabbit trails (oh so that is what they are called) and side issues that detract from the manner at hand.
In-Person Communication
Have you ever fallen out with someone over text message (that’s what emojis are for)? Or watched a fight unfold on social media because one person read another person's tone wrong? That will also turn into gossip. If you're dealing with a highly emotional issue, then it should be addressed in person. If it's impossible to do so in person, at least do so via video call. This goes for positive and negative emotions. If you're delivering great news then you want everyone to get sucked into your positive energy. As far as bad news or negative conversations go, it will be received better if you do the job in person.
Email Facts
People often lose concentration when they are being given facts and figures verbally. If you're dealing with a finance issue, statistics, or otherwise, opt for emailing this information so the other person can easily look back on the numbers when necessary. They can create their own space for items this way!
No Talking, Just Listen
This is applicable to in-person communication. Stop spending so much time doing all the talking and start listening. Listening is really true art. Unless you are the one who came to the table to start a conversation, give others the respect they're due when they are trying to communicate their ideas or feelings. Don't dominate conversations with your motor-mouth.
Simplicity
We live in a society of information overload so simplify your messages. You might use five sentences, but you can probably say it with one. I typically have run-on sentences….just go, go, go. I am working on this especially in my blog.
Practice, practice and practice some more. Be patient as not everyone is on the same page as you. Your Throat Chakra is for communication, clarity self-expression and truth. Practice the tips above and add some blues to your wardrobe to give you that boost of vibrational energies when needed.
