Re: heavy neck
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 3:03 PMupper heart/throat area. you probably need to express yourself, preferably with your voice. perhaps there is a certain person you know and can trust with discussion of personal struggles. also, think about how amazing life is...try to discover new feelings about life and yourself...good feelings only...feelings that are so good, you want to cry out in joy.

Re: heavy neck
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 3:05 PMalso, pay attention to tension in that area throughout the day. are there certain situations where you hold yourself there? you may only notice it subtly at first, but if you study it, you will probably be suprised, and you have probably been doing it all your life. btw...i have the same thing. i got through it once by realizing how much i love life, and i screamed and sang. i felt younger than i ever have. since then, i've sunk back in, and am working on getting out again. -

Re: heavy neck
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 6:51 PMno shit!!! do you ever find yourself thinking of exactly what you wanted to say five minutes later concerning the given situation? if thats the case, your using a lot conscious energy in that paintful area (throat chakra). thats five minutes worth of analyzing and imagining to come up with one punch line. try just letting something rip!!! try being obsurdly, randomly and innapropriately charming. do it tommorrow. the bitch of course is being confronted with people's reactions, and even feeling guilty for displaying your wits. but hey, maybe they could use some pain to grow on. in the words of paul mccartney..."live and let die." don't feel bad for being yourself, even though you might be a total dickhead!!!! plus, i'm sure you and your friends know you mean well.
what have you got to lose? more confidence? probably, if you fail. but, it will just make the pain, and therefore the need to cure it, stronger. -

Re: heavy neck
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 6:55 PMoh, and concerning working on some things you don't want to. yes, its a bitch. i'm hoping to quit smoking and drinking soon. its not a problem to the point where it retards necessary functioning, but, it takes away from other, and more difficult addictions. overall though, i think first its necessary to laugh at the being so hard on yourself. i guess thats what i'm trying to learn right now. in a strange way, it makes it easier to turn down the source. i think it will be easier to overcome bad habbits by not reacting to them and quitting, but by being pro-active in my life, and doing what i WANT to do first. -

Re: heavy neck
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 6:05 PMI have found that... if you dont want to do something, it is much easier to do so if you do something you want instead. Just like it's easier to not think of purple if you think about orange, specifically, instead not thinking about purple.
Just confirming ya :)

Re: heavy neck
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 4:32 PMyah, about taking things too seriously. its probably what gets you worked up, but don't consider it a "problem." i'd say its more of a gift and a responsibility. try taking serious not taking things seriously. seriously laugh it off. -

Re: heavy neck
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 1:46 AMThe root cakra needs 40 years to start working with. After 40 years you can say you have entered the roots cakra. The methods are described in Frabato. lulu.com/astrology P.S. you have never entered a cakra, the problem has nothing to do with meditation. Meditation is already samaddhi, and there is no pain in the neck there. There is no neck at all there!

Re: heavy neck
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 1:48 AMYou can discreate cakras one by one, using bright colors, for fun sake. This technique also liberates the neck in twenty minutes forever. HaM lulu.com/astrology RTRRT try a search for O5+cakra on USENET -

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 7:00 AMHi Johny,
From my personal experiences what you are describing is an attachment... Attachments are always two ways, you to them and they to you.. Being around the throat and in the form of a neck-let, is symbolic of someone that has been and is still trying to control your direction in life and to also control what you say, when you say it etc, etc.
I feel that your attachment to them is one of guilt and duty.. but only you can know if that is a truth... Since you meditate, make it your intent to see who or what is attached to your throat and to also let yourself know the where, when, and how the attachment formed and why it’s still there...
Once you have felt and expressed the emotions that are involved with this attachment, and if you feel, and I mean really feel, and not just a mental exercise, that it’s time to end this attachment, then make it your intent to do so and see the attachment dissolving... Once you release your end, the other person, place or thing has no choice but to also let go, even if they don’t want to, as they can’t over-power your free Will and choice... If you’re not genuine, the attachment will be back... or if there is still some “unfinished” business between you and the attachment, then it will remain as long as it needs to until you resolve your issues...

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 12:57 PMyes you are so right, i feel represed and controlled in speech with some people... i dont know how that tell what i feel in the face without sounding like paranoid.. -

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 2:10 PMHi Johny,
You are not paranoid for expressing what you feel, but having people tell you that you are paranoid if you disagree with them or express what you feel is just another way in which they try to control you.
There are four basic methods that people use to control others. They are;
Intimidation - threats
Interrogation - Asking in a nasty way.. Where are you going?
Being aloof or withdrawn. giving you the silent treatment
Playing the “oh poor me”. Making you feel sorry for them and responsible for their feelings that are an act..
When you feel confused or you feel that they are using one of these methods on you, you can stop them cold by asking them direct questions. Simply ask them.. “What is your intent?” What do you what from me? Asking the who, what, where, when, why and how will clear up any confusion and you will know exactly what they want..
Most of the times it’s simply saying “no” and not doing what other people want you to do and while I say simple.. saying “No” to others is not simple or easy, especially when pleasing others is all that we have ever done.

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 3:51 PMwow, this hits really hard with me. i have a negative attachment with my father who wanted me to be his pride and joy. 5 years ago i wanted to break away from doing the things that made me that. only 3 years ago did i actually follow through, but it was too late, and i'm still stuck in the rut. it seems my entire life has been directed by, like you said, people pleasing. its really depressing and i'm afraid i'll never get out. my dream is to make music, buit it seems the feelings i need to express in order to play what i want are buried too deep, and must be played through what is wired to repress and people please. i'm pretty fucking scared and frustrated. -

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 5:12 PMHi Joe
The reason we became people pleasers is because when we were young, we experienced situations where we were not accepted and we couldn’t express what we really felt, or if we did, it was shoved back at us, making us feel wrong, inadequate and unworthy. We felt we had no choice but to adhere to the wishes of those that were saying that we were wrong, or that our feelings or expressing our feelings was wrong.
With no choice, we make them right and us wrong and that set the stage for us to be people pleasers and the victim. By default, they made us responsible for their feelings and their happiness. Loving and pleasing others was our way of covering up our own self hated...
As children, we were imprinted and programmed and we sincerely believed that in order to not have conflict in our lives and to be accepted, especially by those that we love and who are supposed to love us, we have to please others... That mentality is also drummed into us and echoed by virtually every religion in the world as part of the “Golden Rule”.... “do unto others as you would have other do unto you.” Trouble is that the ones saying that don’t go by that rule.. as their version of it is “do as I say and not as I do”...
Now while we have these imprints, programs and beliefs, once we become aware of them, and of the attachments that we have to the people involved in our life, we can begin to heal those parts of us that we cut off and suppressed (denied) in order to create the false persona that was deemed acceptable. Learning to love ourselves is difficult (at first) as it means doing the exact opposite of what we have been doing all our life, which was hating ourselves, (our feelings and emotions) in order to please others..

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Wed, May 21, 2008 - 4:31 PMthanks for that very thoughtful post. its difficult to maintain the ambition to overcome blocks. sometimes, its not a matter of whether or not i love myself, but whether or not that elusive spontaneous inspiration is there to pick me up.
also, its frightening to start expressing your true self. its shocking to see the profound positive and negative effects reflect themselves back to me in my environment. -

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Wed, May 28, 2008 - 8:43 PMI had an experience with my throat chakra....whenever I did meditation I noticed it was difficult to get through. It was blocked. So I started paying more attention to it. I noticed in high emotional situations/conversations that it would get really tight, and when trying to speak I would squeek. I did not always speak when upset, and often held back. So I started addressing things that were bothering me, in a good way, healthy communication. When my throat would get all tight, I'd breathe through it, then speak. I no longer squeek, I no longer get tight there. It took about a year of focus, but I no longer have that issue with that chakra.

Re: heavy neck - Attachments
Thu, June 5, 2008 - 5:45 AMI have issues there too, and it is hard to start consciously working thru that chakra; so far it's hit or miss. Things don't always come out the way I'd wish; but I'm sure it'll get better. Am glad to hear about other's experiences.

Re: heavy neck
Tue, May 20, 2008 - 4:45 PMThroat centre is acentre for expression and creativity ESP Communcation! This may be blocked perhaps?
And shifting the energy in one can have a knock on effect. Also one centre may steal energy from the other through one be too active!
For your throat centre you can see the POSITIVE archtyrpe The communicator visualise or image-in and spin to the right and to the good. Then Imag=in the beautiful blue
This may help with all chakras you can see them spin to the right and to the good.
BIG LOVE
