TURQUOISE AND MANTRAS

 

I did my sound healing training with Jonathan Goldman, so all my sound work is based on the way he sees sound working on the earthplane.

sound + intent + healing or result.

The thought you have before you make your sound will always determine what it does, so when you work with your mantra, make sure you set a very clear intention for what you want your sound to do and chant out loud – even if you feel silly. The effect will be astonishing!

If you use a turquoise stone with sound work, it will enhance the whole process because turquoise strengthens the throat chakra and releases inhibitions – always good! It also allows your soul to express itself once more. A lovely gift from a lovely stone!

And, of course, you can use the stone without making any sound. Just place it on the throat with the intention of allowing its energy to work in the chakra and help enhance all your communication skills.

The key word for turquoise is wholeness, so it can bring this quality to your communication or it can help you express the whole of you!

The throat chakra is the means by which we express the wisdom from our brow chakra (via the intuition and the link to the higher aspects of ourselves) and the love in our heart chakra. It is important to keep the throat clear so we can do this more easily and freely.

Turquoise necklaces are particularly good because they keep the energy of the stone in the throat area for long periods of time.

So on to the instructions:

• Decide which sound you want to work with. There is a choice shown below – but you can use any sound which appeals to you if you want to. Feel free to make something up yourself or use a throat chakra affirmation. This is your sound healing – personalise it and really make it work for you. It’s not good repeating words like a parrot if they don’t mean anything to you or resonate with you in any way. You have to believe what you are saying or doing!
• Sit with your piece of turquoise or if you don’t have the stone just visualise the colour and breathe the energy of the stone (or the colour) into the throat chakra before you start making your sound. You can simply let the vibrations of the stone (or colour) do whatever they need to do in the energy centre – or if you know you have a specific blockage ask the vibrations of the stone (or colour) to shift it out of your energy system. Do this for as long as you feel you need to.
• When you feel you have enough turquoise energy in your throat chakra, relax and focus on your breath, finding your own rhythm – in four the count of four – pause and out for the count of four – pause is a good place to start and actually counting will focus your mind and give it something to do rather than you sitting there trying to make it be quiet. As it’s used to always having something to do, giving it something usually helps and can encourage it to join in the meditation in its own way.
• When you are relaxed – stop counting if you have been using that technique – and set the intention you want to use your sound to help to restore a healthy balance to your throat chakra and the way you communicate – on all levels – and start chanting out loud, continuing until to feel you need to stop.
• Repeat the mantra silently for several minutes and then let your sound fade into silence
• Sit in silence for several moments.
• Thank your stone if you were using one.
• Ground and return

Suggested Sounds

• HAM(pronounced as HUM)
• EYE – vowel sound I

These sounds will unblock your throat chakra, which governs your ability to express yourself and communicate to the world who you are and what you need and want from yourself and the Universe. If it remains blocked, you will find you become frustrated because you cannot find a way to effectively express your needs and desires. Both these sounds will open your throat so energy flows through the chakra freely and easily.

• OM – this sound not only cleans and aligns all the chakras, it clears the aura as well so you can multi task with this! It also purifies the environment around you and creates positive vibrations.It eliminates stress, tension, anxiety, fear, anger and it increases concentration, creativity and intuitive power. And one last benefit of the sound is that it increases energy and removes fatigue. Shouldn’t you just start chanting this straight away whether your throat chakra needs help or not!!!

Suggested Mantra

Om SatyayaiNamaha

Pronounciation: OM SOT-YAH-YAH    NAH MAH HAH

English translation: I Honour The Power Of Truth.

If you use this mantra, while chanting, it works best if you focus on the pathway from your heart to your throat to your crown and back again, in a smooth, seamless loop for 15 minutes. When you have finished, notice how you feel and decide how you will use the energy by listing three ways you will be honour your authentic self and how you intend to do it.

Additional note: Archangels Michael and Raguel work with the turquoise stone, so feel free to ask them to join you to enhance the healing process… or there are, of course, the very lovely, angels of sound. They will always be happy to join you!

Another Throat Chakra Sound Meditation

• Set your clear intention to clear or unblock the throat chakra with your sound.
• Sit with spine straight, your head titled slightly down, eyes closed and focused on the brow chakra, taking care not to lock the throat area by lowering your chin too much.
• Breathe in and out of the throat chakra for a few moments to start energy flowing in this area of your chakra system.
• Now visualize the colour for this chakra – blue.
• Now chant, using either EYE or HAM (pronounced Hum) Chant it silently at first, then out loud for as long as you need to to clear the chakra.
• Feel the sound resonate the throat chakra, clearing it and add the intention you want this energy to rise up the chakral line going through the brow chakra and the crown.
• Repeat the mantra silently again for several minutes and let your sound fade into silence
• Sit in silence for several moments.
• Ground and return

I hope you enjoy this technique for clearing your throat chakra as well as enjoy all new ways you find to express yourself on all levels once it is free of any negative energy you have been storing there! We are all very good with filling this chakra up with rubbish… on a regular basis, so it is important to clear it regularly too.
