    MODULE 6: Fifth Chakra (Throat Chakra)

    Carol:Hi, this is Carol Tuttle, and I am coming to you

    from my living room for this part of the presentation.Some travel conflicts of mine kept me from being ableto be at the seminar live, but its really important that Italk to you about this Chakra, because this is like myChakra.

    This is the Chakra that I shine in, that I have a lot ofstrength in, and its a big part of my purpose here onthe Earth, to use this energy center. The ThroatChakra is the Chakra that were talking about thisevening.

    Its the fifth Chakra, its located here in the center of yourthroat, it actually connects all other Chakras, in that theenergy and information coming from these lower ones andfrom the higher Chakras all move through this ThroatChakra.

    This is the expression center, where you learn to expressyourself, and the imbalances that can occur with this Chakra,like anything, they go into both extremes, where youve gotpeople that shut down, that dont say anything, that retreat,that are quiet, that kind of remove themselves verbally; andthen youve got the other side of the imbalance, which ispeople who are just talking too much, and theyre notlistening.

    Theyre not ready to hear other people, or take things in,because they are so much thinking about whats their nextthought to express.

    So hopefully, youre going to find yourself somewhere in themiddle there. But youll notice that you tend to go toward oneor the other, because its unusual that were completelybalanced in any one of these energy experiences.

    YOUR THROAT CHAKRA DELIVERS YOUR BELIEFS

    The Throat Chakra has been very important for my lifeswork in that I do a lot of communicating, and I have theopportunity to communicate a lot of ideas, insights, and

    principles that come to me and express them to the peoplewho are interested, that Im attracting, that are ready to hearwhat I have to say, hopefully to benefit their life.

    You may recall, if youve seen the entire series, or if youvebeen attending this seminar series, that each of us has oneprominent Chakra, energy center. Meaning that is somethingthat gives us a strength, and yet it can also be a weaknessfor us. The mental, the mind, is a big part of the ThroatChakra, because thats where thought becomes a voice.That your mind forms thought, which then is delivered into

    expression.

    So were working both with the mind and the voice, as ateam, as a unit. So the Throat Chakra becomes thedeliverer or the expressive center of what your thoughts,beliefs, and ideas are.

    So youre going to have a lot of mental energy around theThroat Chakra as well, being fed from the sixth and seventhChakra, which are your intuition and your crown, which welltalk about those in the next two months.

    Some of the conflicts that occur for people with the ThroatChakra that close this energy center and make this astruggle is the fear of expressing themselves, feeling judged,feeling that their words are harmful, that if they speak theirtruth they may do damage to someone else.

    The other side of it, if theyre too strong in this energy center,they dont come from the heart enough. Theyre too blunt,they do say harsh things that are hurtful to people.

    Theyre too expressive, maybe saying too much, more thanneeds to be said. Going on and on, not giving others achance to talk. And so in this balanced state, the ThroatChakra, what that looks like is youre able to speak your truthcomfortably, other are comfortable with you speaking yourtruth. Youre able to listen and receive the truth and the

    something that I believe God and the universe and thosepowers greater than ourselves expect, that we walk our talk.

    Your will, your choices, the cause and effect of your life, do

    come into harmony with the expression of you. So, those aresome good insights about the Throat Chakra. I want tointroduce to a few of the therapeutic gemstones that Ivefound very valuable to work with this energy center. Mostpeople in todays world need some help with the ThroatChakra.

    YOUR THROAT CHAKRA HELPS YOU HEAR YOUR INNER VOICE

    Another valuable insight is to when this energy center is

    open and in balance, you have a real discernment to knowwhats your expression, your inner voice, and whats a voiceor information coming at you. So you want to really be ableto distinguish this. This is me, this is the expression of me,and these are the voices and influences outside of me. Imable to take in and receive whats beneficial to me, andignore, overlook, just let go of whats not, instead of havingto consider everything.

    So one of the first gemstones I am really fond of that helpsyou in establishing that sense of your own mind, your ownvoice, is Sodalite. Blue is the color of the Throat Chakra, soyoure going to find these gemstones have blue thegemstones in the blue category are going to work with themind and the voice.

    So Sodalites function is, its like a garbage disposal ofnegative energy in the mind, to clean up negativity in themental field, so you can clean up what youve put in there,whats been taken on, its not even yours. A lot of mentalchatter thats unnecessary.

    Negative talk with yourself, lots of worry, stressful thoughts,its going to help clean that up. You may even take onnegative mental energy of other people. This will help cleanit up. Its an absorber of negativity, and it helps purify yourown field. So thats huge, in todays world. Theres a lot ofnegative waste thats coming at us.

    5/36

    So check out Sodalite for that. Then Lapis is a really vibrantblue. You look at this in real life, and its one of the mostvibrant blues that Ive ever seen in a gemstone, and itsfunction is it connects the heart with the mind. Which is really

    what the Throat Chakra is wanting, to have the heart energypulled up, swirling up so the expression of you is very heartcentered, theres compassion, theres charity, theres asense of wellness and seeing the bigger picture in theexpression of you.

    YOUR HEART ENERGY IS INFLUENTIAL

    So you find a lot of people expressing themselves, nothaving that heart connection - this really plugs that mental

    and heart energy together so they can work in tandem, sothe expression of you is very Christ-like and very powerfullyinfluential. Because people are much more easily influencedwhen theres heart energy involved, versus just mental logicand mind energy. So Lapis really gives you that connectionand plugs those two energies in together.

    Then one of my favorites is called Angel Fire. This has a littlebit of a blue sapphire in it, and this has white coral. Whatthis does is connect you with your higher mind. Wherethought begins.

    I think its called Angel Fire because it connects you with therealm of angels where thought is more pure, so you canbecome a more pure mind, and eliminate the negativity byconnecting with thoughts that are available from a highersource, and let yourself be connected and flowing in thoseenergies because thoughts are swirling all around us.

    Every thought we think is a creation, so youve got thesebasically thought energies all over the place that you can beplugging into, and you want to get above the dimension ofthis world into a more pure energy to pull in the energy toform your thoughts. Angel Fire will help you do that.

    Then blue sapphire is the gemstone for, this is very small,and theyre very delicate, but it is the gemstone for theThroat Chakra. Wearing this, tensionally, this small littlenecklace, once put on youll notice that it comes right at the

    6/36

    throat, and that little sapphire is literally pulled in by theThroat Chakra, and feeds the blue ray into the mind, whichhelps get rid of just garbage thoughts. We create thoughtpatterns, or habits with our thoughts, youve heard me say,

    or you may have read in my book that about 80% of thethoughts that you had yesterday, 80 to 90% of the thoughtsyou had yesterday, youll recreate today.

    So if you look at that, youve got a 10% window of changingyour life on a day to day basis, unless youre intentional andvery conscious of that, to choose new thoughts. Wearing theblue sapphire, feeding your mind the blue ray, is going tohelp you open up to a greater percentage of choosing newthoughts, and thoughts that only serve your highest andgreatest good.

    CHOOSE THE THOUGHTS THAT FEED YOU

    Becoming a master of your mind and the expression ofyourself, I believe is a lifelong process. To become thatconnected with who you are, and that you can control andchoose every thought, is a profound thing, that I believewere capable of, yet it takes a daily dedication to that effortand really working with yourself and whats coming out ofyou, the expression of you.

    I believe you can live at that higher level of consciousness,move beyond your feelings of I think we start this workwhen were feeling a sense of powerlessness andworthlessness.

    Once we establish that center and connect with our core,and know that we are worthwhile, we know that were loved,that we are children of God, and we have that in place andwe have our self-esteem connecting with our core, we moveto a higher role with ourselves - what you no longer have tostruggle or question your divine worth, your sense of powerin this world.

    You now, knowing that, have a responsibility to use thatpower of the individual to choose thoughts, expression, andbehavior to represent the person that you know you are, andI believe thats a higher calling to come to. That you can

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    7/36

    then refine that, because you will make mistakes, you willgoof up, if youre married, I guarantee theres hardly a daythat goes by that you may have to be accountable forsomething thought, said, or a behavior that youve chosen

    thats not in your best interest, or a true expression of whoyou know you are now.

    So these gemstones help you become a master of thosethoughts and the expression of those thoughts.

    EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE

    Lets go through this clearing script that were going to usewith the emotional freedom technique, Im going to review

    this technique. Its a tapping on accupressure points whileyoure stating out loud these clearing statements, telling yourmind/body energy system and your deeper subconsciousmind to release these beliefs, emotions, patterns, that youvebeen operating in. This is developed for the Throat Chakra.

    So all the phrases and the references are to some of themost common blocks and issues that we carry in thisChakra. The intention of this clearing will be to help openthis energy center, release it, let it go.

    I mention on the handout that you could just take your fistand rotate right on this energy center, as youre speakingthese clearing statements, and thatll help again. You couldgo backward and unwind it, while youre saying releasing,cant say my truth, afraid to speak up whatever, theyre allon the page here. Ive written a script.

    But that, going in a backward motion unwinds the energy,take a deep breath, let it out. You can work right on thisenergy center to clear, but were going to go ahead and usethe EFT and the tapping process, and get a little familiar withthat. Let me review that with you. Youre going to tap on thepressure points that are on the face and torso, and as bestyou can, follow along with me, with the working and thetapping.

    You dont have to stay right with me on the tapping, so ifyoure on a different point than I am, thats no big deal. Just

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 7 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    8/36

    keep moving after three or four or five taps, go to the nextposition. And youll find, I have information on my website atcaroltuttle.com that you can go to the home page, and scrolldown, and print out the simple two page instruction sheet for

    EFT if you need to follow up and get a copy of that.

    Because its outlined and you then know what you are doing.Its a very simple process. If anything, people tend tocomplicate it, because it is so simple, theyll think it needs tobe a little harder than it is, and remember, simplicity workswhen it comes to energy.

    Because intention is what drives any clearing you have adesire to release yourself from these old illusions andpatterns that are keeping you stuck. So the tapping points

    begin with your inside of eyebrow, you can use either hand,either eyebrow, but Im going to use my right hand on myright side. Inside of eyebrow, side of eye, under your eye,under your nose, on your chin, on your collarbone, underyour arm, about four inches down under your armpit.

    Now, I lay on my collarbone here, I have a microphone, youmay find me doing it off my body because I dont want tocreate any unnecessary noise on the mic, but you go aheadand tap right on the body on that collarbone point. Alright, sothe script just begins exactly with the releasing, so if youll goahead and follow along with me, just start tapping right uphere, and follow along with me.

    Releasing fear of having no power or authority. Not speakingup, letting others speak for me. Angry that I cant find thewords. Letting others dominate me verbally. What am I afraidof?

    Pointless to speak. Unheard, communication problems.Releasing patterns from my Throat Chakra that no longerserve me. Fear of words --- I forgot to tell you, go to the topof your head stay with me, fear of words, beingmisunderstood, afraid to say no. Fear of speaking honestly,dont want to hear it.

    Release it from every cell, let it go, releasing, arguing, afraidto argue, dont want to hear it, conflict, debates, shuttingdown. Not being able to discern between inner voice and

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    9/36

    outside forces, too many voices. Rage and anger caught inthe throat. Holding back of energy, irritation, giving my poweraway to avoid conflict, unexpressed feelings, intensefrustration, choking on my words, letting go of blocking my

    voice, unable to swallow my reality, expressing yourself isunacceptable.

    Shame and guilt, sensing the unspoken, recreating thedysfunctional communication in the family, the patterns of myfamily. Let it go. Out of balance, no will, no center. Dontknow my truth, cant speak my voice, too big a risk. Oldtapes, holding back.

    Anxiety attacks, letting go of the lies and illusions Ive beentelling myself. Let it go. Release it, once and for all.

    Release it from every cell in the body. Let it go. Take threedeep breaths. And on that last one, pull that energy all theway up from your feet, big breath, full body breathe, dropyour body like a rag doll, let it go, imagine your energy justflowing off you.

    Youre letting go of all these old ideas, these old patternswith your voice, with your ideas and beliefs. Letting everyenergy center open up and clear. Okay, now that wevedone the release statements, you always want to anchor inthe new positive belief by doing reframes.

    Again, you can take your fist and rotate in a clockwisedirection, while repeating these positive statements. Theseare all I am statements, theyre a declaration of your truth.

    As youre repeating them and working right on the energycenter, thats coming alive.

    The energy holds that truth. What it is doing, is giving itpermission to get turned on, open up, realize the truth of whoyou are, so you can experience the expression of that truth.

    Were going to go ahead and use the EFT, tapping on thosesame points, as we repeat the I AM statements. So weregoing to anchor that in to the mind and body, as we saythese.

    Your system, your mind/body energy system, your physicalbody, all aspects of who you are hold true. Were just

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 9 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    10/36

    helping the whole system remember and recognize, andactivate that truth. Truth is held within you, you dont have togo looking out in your world for truth. What youre looking foris something to recognize the truth that you already carry.

    When you do, those light switches get turned on, and youmake a shift.

    This is very powerful to work with your Chakras, to do thiswork on a several days a week basis.

    PRAYER FOR THE THROAT CHAKRA

    Thank you, God, I am the authority in my world. I amspeaking my truth and supported by others. I am powerful

    and safe within my family. I am power of choice. I am thecreator of my life. I am personal authority. I am centered. Imake wise choices and decisions. Im allowing others theiropinions and choices, and I am allowing mine. I amhonored, letting it in, opening the Throat Chakra.

    I am open to hearing. I speak with clarity and kindness. I amimportant, what I have to say is important. Im allowingothers to speak their truths, I am supported in speaking mytruth. I am discernment. My words are supported by loveand joy. I exist. I am deserving. I am my spiritual self.

    My choices about life serve my highest good. Thank youGod, I am creating speech that reflects my loving thoughts.Im openly expressing myself. I am always saying the rightthing in the right way. I am vocalizing my feelings.

    I am safe expressing my inner emotions. Im able to swallowmy reality. I am understanding whats going on. Imcomfortable with what comes out of my mouth. I amchoosing my words with discernment.

    Great. Now take a deep breath, full body, breathe that intoevery cell. You can even tap all over your body, turning thetruth on. You can thank your Throat Chakra, thanking it foropening up, being more expressive. The fifth Chakra.

    Say I am grateful for a clear, balanced fifth Chakra. Youknow you can do that any time of day. Just put your hand up

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 10 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    11/36

    here, you can be sitting anywhere. That doesnt look toounusual.

    Just, in your mind, say I am grateful for a clear, open,

    balanced Throat Chakra. Especially if youre in a situationwhere youre starting to shut down, things starting to clampdown, and you dont feel you can speak up, you want to putyour hand there and give permission, validate. You have aright to speak. Maybe you dont even want to speak, but youwant to know you have the choice.

    CHOOSE TO SPEAK

    You know, some people are just less expressive. But if they

    feel like they dont have the choice to speak, then theresgoing to be a sense of victimization and blocked energy anda sense of powerlessness.

    So its not even necessarily about having to say anything, itsknowing you always have the choice to say something, andto feel the freedom in that choice.

    And in that choice, you may choose to only say it to yourself.You can say a lot of things without ever putting them intoverbal expression. In fact, next time you want to come backat your husband, or a childchoose to not, and expressyourself, you still feel like you need to say something, thendo it non-verbally. Send it out as a thought.

    You get a lot more accomplished sometimes by doing thatthan to verbalize, get people on the defense, and get into awhole pattern of conflict.

    So youre able we are meant to be expressive and soundcoming out of our mouths, yet how much expression are youoffering that doesnt need to be a sound out of your mouth?

    You can be expressive through thought and intention, quietly,silently, and be very, very powerful. So know that you alwayshave a choice to speak, so sometimes you may choose notto, but in that knowing, and giving yourself the choice, thisenergy center stays open and clear.

    your best interest and the interest of others. So you canalways go back through meditation and guided imagery, goback to that child self, and activate that Throat Chakra, inyour five year old, in your twelve year old, in your sixteen

    year old you know, imagine yourself in those age groups,bring them into the light, and put a big ole blue light right intheir throat.

    Just give them that energy, and say You have a right toexpress yourself, we love hearing from you, we love yourideas, we validate you, we are going to disagree at times,and you are still loved and accepted. Those are the thingsthat you really needed to hear, that you most likely didnthear enough of.

    Anyway, thats my experience with the Throat Chakra, itsvery powerful in todays world. God wants to use us asinstruments to help guide others to remember their truth.

    To be able to teach people to come home to their truth, tolive their life more consciously. To live with intention andintegrity so that we are people who walk our talk and that weresemble who God created us to be in the fullness ofourselves.

    So thanks for being a part of this series, its a fabulousprogram. We hope youll benefit from it, but reallyencourage you to do the whole program. Your life willchange as a result, I guarantee it. So thanks for joining metonight.

    POEM FOR THE HEART CHAKRA

    Syl: Tonight Im going to begin with a poem. You can find this atdavidwhyte.com hes a wonderful, wonderful poet. And it iscalled Revelation Must be Terrible.

    Revelation must be terrible with no time leftto say goodbye.

    Imagine that moment staring at the still waterswith only the brief tremor

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 13 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    14/36

    of your body to say you are leaving everythingand everyone you know behind.

    Being far from home is hard, but you know,

    at least we are exiled together.When you open your eyes to the world

    you are on your own for the first time. No one iseven interested in saving you now

    and the world steps in to test the calm fluidity of your bodyfrom moment to moment

    as if it believed you could join its vibrant danceof fire and calmness and final stillness.

    As if you were meant to be exactly where you are, as iflike the dark branch of a desert river

    you could flow on without a speck of guilt and everythingeverywhere would still be just as it should be.

    As if your place in the world mattered and the world couldneither speak nor hear the fullness of

    its own bitter and beautiful cry without the deep wellof your body resonating in the echo.

    Knowing that it takes only that one, terribleword to make the circle complete,

    revelation must be terrible knowing you cannever hide your voice again.

    I think weve all kind of experienced that, when you havethe heart pounding, and you know youve got to get up, andspeak. Whether that be off the couch, or the pew at churchor whatever, its just like oooh, I see dead people. Ive got

    to get up. Ive got to get up and talk, or you have to saysomething that is true, that is true from your heart.

    WE BUILD OUR LIVES ON OUR CHAKRAS

    Thats why these Chakras are so amazing, the system ofthe Chakras - it really is the base. You deal with the root,and then you move on to that instinctual creativity and thenthe power of the ego and then the heart. The heart cant

    open when the ego is shining forth to an extent, you reallycant speak from the heart.

    And when the heart is opened and we have moved kind ofthrough that center, then you can speak with a clear voice,and you speak what is true from your heart.

    Theres a huge difference. You always know whensomeone is talking from their ego. So that is my hopetonight, that you wont interpret anything I say as comingfrom my ego.

    THROAT CHAKRA PRACTICES

    Tonight Im going to share a couple of experiences with youthat are fairly personal experiences that have to do with,actually, this series that were doing. I would hope that youwould be able to take from that experience some sort ofmetaphor that will help you in other areas of your own life.

    Amazing, just wild Chakra things are going on. Its likeCarol said, you know, you start working on the Chakras, andtheyll start working on you. Thats for sure. The fifthChakra, vishudda. This is the vishudda Chakra. The coloris shades of azure, or bright blue. Its at the throat. Wevetalked about that a little bit.

    Just take your finger, and just press in, straight in on thatjugular notch. Right there. And this is a very amazing placeon the body. When you press in, nice and firm on that, whatemotions arise? Anybody want to share?

    Panic, and its amazing how many of us are walking aroundchoking. I loved what she put in her clearing script, mychoking on my words.

    Am I able to swallow my truth? Im tired of swallowing mytruth. And when you lie, which is the inhibitor of this Chakra,your throat actually tightens when you lie.

    I had the biggest problem with Santa. I remember I brokedown, and I went the Santa route, but man, he wears a redsuit and he comes down the chimney you know, it was sobrutal. Were dealing with that as best we can, but just

    clear that throat. Take a deep breath in. Out the mouth.

    Swallow okay. Try another deep breath in. How aboutagain, just like for real. (loud exhale) A couple of times aday, when no one is watching, its really therapeutic. Toreally let that tension roll out from the throat center. Thankyou, Jackie.

    The jaw, the neck, the shoulders, are Throat Chakra. Yourears, from about hear down, hearing, just enough to hearthrough. Because that s also the Throat Chakra. Sound, is

    the element of this Chakra. Its at the thyroid, theparathyroid, the glands, there.

    Fruits are the food of this Chakra. The sense of hearing isthe sense for this body Chakra. Hammmmm is the seedsound. If you want to chant hmmmm. Well finish with alittle chant there. Turquoise and aquamarine are actuallythe traditional gemstones of the Throat Chakra.

    Gemospheres does offer aquamarine, and Im wearing ittonight, and I think its done the most for me. Of all the

    gemstones Ive tried for my specific issues of throat.Frankincense is the aromatherapy. The frankincense that Ihave here tonight comes from Oman.

    Oman is where frankincense its like the home offrankincense. When the wise man took it to the baby Jesus,they got it from Oman. Thats the place it came from.

    Its kind of the ancestral home of that essence, that oil. Liesinhibit this place. It has to do with communication andcreativity, and its different from the creative center.

    The creative center, or the second Chakra, is instinctualcreativity. You dont have to do anything once you conceive,for the baby to grow. You know, its instinctual. Its what youdo, sort of off the cuff.

    Conscious creativity is different. Conscious creativity isthoughtful and a process of unwinding and uncovering andbrings you into that. When, continuing on, vibration and

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 16 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    17/36

    resonance, and that really, the world exists on levels ofvibration. Its just the atom moving, within the space, thatcreates existence. I speak is the verb to speak, and thewell sing. So that give you just a brief overview of that

    Chakra.

    Some things that you can do the teeth, the tongue, thelips, the earlobes, the inner ears, the throat, and the neck. Ialways know, when Im doing a Thai massage, when I get tothe jaw, its so tight. How tight is your jaw?

    Really great Throat Chakra release is just (cameranotwithstanding) to just open your mouth as wide as youcan, and release it. That will release those muscles. Thatswhy yawning is so relaxing, because -- all I have to do is

    mention it, and look how many of you are yawning. Its arelease, and it releases all the way down the throat, andmost of us have these little guardians.

    Theyre called these little muscles right here. We dontreally connect with our guardian angels enough, so wecreate them ourselves, this tension in our shoulders, toprotect our throat. To protect that expression. The tightest

    jaw I have ever felt in Thai yoga therapy has been ahairdresser, who had to sit and listen to people talk everyday, and go Oh, yeah. Shes nuts click click, click,

    click. You know.

    It was amazing, how tight her poor little jaw was. I could tellshe just could not share her truth. I like my hair with astreak of electric blue, and shave it short on this side andlong on this side. And shes Okay, yeah, it looks great. Soyou know, that whole thing, the jaw.

    LIES INHIBIT YOUR THROAT CHAKRA

    Lies inhibit the fifth Chakra. When you lie, theres atendency to raise the voice, as though that will make it morereal, to talk really loud. And also theres a tightening, aphysical tightening in the throat, when you lie. When youwere telling your mom where youd been, theres atendency to need to swallow. To release that tightness in thethroat.

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 17 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    18/36

    And we basically are raised with the different variations oflying. Theres white lies, and whatever. But all really inhibitthat fifth Chakra. Anything that isnt true. Thats why one ofthe most healing things is actually to say out loud what

    happened. When Steven Spielberg had done SchindlersList, he did a really beautiful documentary after that, wherehe had people come in and tell their experience.

    And they said the most powerful part of that was saying it, inGerman, in their own language. They had been here in theUnited States, and these are people who have their serialnumber burnt into their arms. You know. To speak theirtruth, in their native tongue, there were many really powerfulexperiences, its just an amazing documentary.

    SOMATIC BALANCING FOR THE THROAT CHAKRA

    Somatic balancing for the fifth Chakra, ohm seven times,and feel the resonance of ohm. Hum is the seed sound ofthis Chakra. Message in a bottle, letter writing, thats fifthChakra. So writing a letter, whether you mail it or not, is upto you, but actually writing a letter, send it down the river, dowhatever you need to do.

    Read out loud, and be read to. Its wonderfully soothing, forthat center. Listen with the intent to understand. In the fifthChakra, we not only have sound and resonance, for me tospeak and for you to hear, or vice versa, but we have thespace. If you tried to hear music that didnt have any spacebetween the notes, it would eventually become white noiseand you wouldnt hear anything.

    So the pause is actually a fifth Chakra thing - the quietingand the not speaking. Awe out your day, like we did, asmany times as you need to. Sometimes it takes a lot, a lot

    of awes to clear it all out. But that will clear out tension inthe Throat Chakra.

    Inner child dialogue, you know, I resisted that for a longtime. But I had to do it eventually. And it was interesting,what came out of me. Palm to ear press, Ill justdemonstrate it real quick. You can go ahead and join me.

    As you put your palms to your ear, youll hear your owninner vibration. Youll hear ohm, really.

    I get chided for this one a lot, but Zen vacuuming. How

    many of you have done that? Am I the only one, whoharmonizes with the vacuum? I think Im the only one.Okay, Im getting some shaking heads. Im very strange, Ialready know that. Youre not telling me anything new.Neck rolls what we started with, the rolling of the neck.

    Oh, theres a knot right there. Ah, really releasing, do bothdirections. Silence practice. How long do you want to go,being silent?

    Play with that a little bit. Where you actually take time for

    silence, and that space between the two notes in your life.Its really wonderful when I do go to these trainings, usuallyits at the White Lotus foundation, Ill just I wont saymuch. I just kind of like to sit in the background and listen toother peoples conversations and its very therapeutic to justlisten, and love within yourself.

    Jalandhara Bhanda, which is a body lock. It is done at theretention of the breath. I have a CD, they are back here andIm going to go into that story in a minute, in the back room.But I teach the body locks and the pranayama, the breath

    practice there, and its a there are nine different types ofbreath. They will balance your brain chemistry, its justreally soothing. Its probably been one of the most healingthings Ive come across in my life.

    Its through yoga, its part of yoga, but anyone can do it.Someone whos thinking Im just not going to go do yoga,no matter what, the breath work is something you can sitand do. And if you have an interest in yoga, but dont reallyfeel like you could do or join in a class, on the back there,theres a little flyer or signup, Im giving a yoga basic

    workshop. I teach it once a year, and thats in July, in acouple of weeks, and its for very, very basic yoga.

    We dont try to get you into any really funky postures,theres no like competition. Its for we use a lot of thebolsters, a lot of the restorative, what can you do at home,to open up. Hang this way, take a door frame, hang thisway. All sorts of different things like that, in a booklet, that

    you can leave with, to help you begin your own at homepractice. Well talk a little bit about meditation there too.

    ETHEREAL BALANCING FOR THE THROAT CHAKRA

    Ethereal balancing for the fifth Chakra, how challenging is itto hear the truth spoken of you? Does anybody do Zenvacuuming? (laughter) How challenging is it for you tospeak your truth to others? thats okay... (growling) youknow. How challenging is it for you to speak in public? Howchallenging is it for you to speak one on one? Theres bothsides of the same coin.

    Does your voice seem necessary? Do you feel people hearyou when you speak? How challenging is it for you tocommunicate your ideas clearly? In what ways do youcultivate your own creativity on a conscious level? To havean open and clear second Chakra is to live creatively.

    At one point during my marriage, while my sons father and Iwere driving down the street and we saw this kid walkingacross the crosswalk. It was a girl, and her head wasshaved all the way around, and she had the hair on the topwith the ponytail back, and she had rings all over the place,

    and it was interesting.

    I turned to him, and I said, What are you going to do if andTommy was three months at the time, and I said What areyou going to do if Tommy at some point looks like that? andhe just, without looking at me, said Take a picture. Howcan you live creatively?

    When listening back to others, mirror back what they say,and see how well youre connecting with what they say toyou. A lot of times this is done in the heat of the moment, inan argument. You just said.. No I didnt, I just said.. Youknow, and back and forth. The Throat Chakra, most of uslive in work environments that are fairly noisy.

    The noise levels in most industrial work environments arefar and away beyond what our ears can really handle.Freeway noise is above and beyond anything our ears weremeant to deal with. When you are exposed to that for twoweeks at a time, it takes you four months for your blood

    21/36

    pressure to return to where it was, before you started withexposure to that kind of noise.

    So taking time for silence, to cover your ears, to hold

    quietly, things like that are really healing for the body.Things that you resonate with. Dont have to be soundrelated, but you know, youll have somebody that its like Ilike that person. Theres a resonance there. Or like I likethis.. clair. We resonate with each other. Okay.

    YOUR THROAT CHAKRA AND SECRETS

    So, Alice Miller has a really wonderful book, called For YourOwn Good, it talks about how to raise children in love, andhow we kind of get out of train with that, but she has awonderful quote. She says, hold on, let me see if I can findit here. Its wonderful, so Id really like to read it verbatim.Okay.

    Someone who is not allowed to be aware of what wasbeing done to them has no way of telling except to repeat it.Secrets. You know, when youre told to keep a secret,when youre a child, and you dont have the ability to reallyunderstand what is either happening to you, or in anexperience that youre witnessing, then you dontunderstand how to ever express it, unless its repeated.

    Thats why, in cycles of abuse, it goes generationally. So tobe able to actually speak your truth, is what is so freeingabout that. It really is true, that the truth will set you free.Once its spoken out loud, theres a validity to it. Once its inthe written word, theres more to it than that, which also letsus take a more sacred look at ourselves and what wereexpressing, both verbally and in writing.

    THE CHAKRAS AS MANIFESTORS

    Whats been going on with me in this Chakra series has justbeen very unique, and I think some of you have come up

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 21 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    22/36

    and expressed similar experiences. Not exact experiences,but similar resonance, with what Im talking about.

    We started this, Carol approached me, asked me, Would

    you be willing to do this? I teach a yoga series once a year,on the Chakras, where we spend an hour of discussion andan hour of yoga, and how to physically open up the body tothese centers. And I teach it at Christmas time, its a holidayseries. And its always intense for me. Im always kind ofglad when its over, because its way intense.

    So when she said would you do this for a year, I reallythought, because I knew the commitment that would take,physically and emotionally. So we go to do the root Chakra,and at the root Chakra, the place where I work during the

    day is a bank, and it was robbed. So talk about groundingand survival mode, there is was.

    Robbed ski masks, sawed off shotguns, people facedown. It was total Root Chakra. Second Chakra is thesexuality center, and I just said to her, I dont know if I cango any further. If it was robbery in the first, I dont want togo to the second Chakra. And so in the second Chakra, itsinstinctual creativity. And as I was thinking about this, andwhat I could offer people, healing wise, that they could takefrom this, to have something to take with them, from this,

    that would hopefully be a healing, and enlightening, liftingthing. I thought You know, I have been using theseessential oils...Ill offer the oils. Im not an essential oilperson, I dont do it to make money. You cant make moneyon the types of essential oils that I sell. Theyre out of pricerange if I tried to double my money.

    So I thought, Well, Ill include the oils, that will be great.And I thought Were going to be talking a lot about breathwork. It would be really nice, Ive always wanted to havesomeone sit down and talk me through the breathes, Ill do

    maybe a CD about the breath, and maybe Ill put theseguided meditations that are new book on tape, so peoplecan take them and listen to them.

    So I called this guy, he says Yeah, yeah, yeah, come onover, lets do it. So I sat down to do it, and we hashed itout, and it took like five days. There was no script, therewas no nothing, and I said Id like to have some

    seven Chakras, and I go around and what the day beforethe shoot, I just went up there.

    So Im up there, and you can hear a hawk screech in the

    background, just the birds, and the sound of the water, andthe wind. It was just amazing, and as Im rounding thecorner, I see the cornerstone to this cabin. Like you driveup to it, and theyve got a woodland scene carved in half thecabin that James Christianson designed. You know,whatever. Amazing. It worked for yoga. Im sure that swhy it was built. But I saw the cornerstone to it, and its thisbig iron piece. Its like okay and its got a half sun on itand it says The Seven Sons Lodge.

    Im just like Chakras. Wow. Blew me away. Freaked me

    out. I didnt want to go any further. It scared me to death. Itwas really scary. When things line up for you, its terrifying.Like the poem, Revelation Must Be Terrible. And a lot oftimes success is more difficult than failure. Were used tothis lower area, and this is what Carol has hit on with herbook.

    You dont have to suffer. Thats terrifying, that I dont haveto suffer. That I can actually live from an open heart and anopen voice. So as I went through this process, it was reallyamazing. I sat down to write the purl logs, just like I did her.

    First Chakra, red, route, earth, blah blah blah blah blah.What came out of me was beyond me. It wasnt that at all.It was something totally different, and it was terrifying.

    It was like being at the burning bush for like five days. Itwore me out. And it was conscious creativity. It was knowingthat I could never hide my voice again. As I wasdiscovering this, the important of going from the root, andwhat happens there, and discussing it, and then the nextcenter and the next center and the next center. I got to theThroat Chakra, and visshuda is the name of the Throat

    Chakra. Thats the traditional Sanskrit name, and it meanspurification. Because this is sort of the bottle neck of thebody, and here is divinity, inside the divine consciousness.

    THE THROAT CHAKRA AND PURIFICATION

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 24 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    25/36

    And the throat is where you purify yourself, before enteringthe presence of God. That truth is within every religion.Youre going to find these cleansing practices, and its withinthe Chakras as well. You have this feminine energy that

    moves up, Shakti. and she is mother nature, baby. She is allof it. Destruction and creation and the whole thing, just wildmanifestation without consciousness. And Shiva resides atthe crown, and that is consciousness without manifestation.

    So theres this sort of intersection, this female that rises upand connects with the divine. As Im writing these purl logs,it occurs to me that Ive gotten to the top, but I was visitingwith a friend of mine who was giving me some advice onthis singing for another thing Ill tell you about in a second.But when we got to the crown, it was like you cant end a

    song like (holding a note) and then end. You need thatreturn. And once Shakti unites with Shiva, then you haveenlightenment.

    And all of that divinity can come down to each center andtake care of everything it couldnt do itself, which is grace.Its like this most amazing process of life, through theseChakra centers.

    So Im having this really incredible experience with theThroat Chakra, this last month. This has all happened in

    the last month. So Im kind of going to do the voice over forthe Heart Chakra with Perry, and I told him about myexperience being taken at the second Chakra, by thisperson. It just so happens he knew someone very well,really personally, who happened to compose music. Ashes composing this music, I say You know, each Chakrahas a seed sound. How would you feel I dont read music,I dont understanda,b,c,d,e,f,g I think, I dont understandmuch other than that. I havent ever really sung. Butthrough my own healing process, interestingly enough,when I jot, doodle, when youre on the phone, I would write

    sing, sing, sing Its been 15 or 20 years that Ive done that.Just sing, sing, sing, I dont know why.

    I should be writing what I hope my new married name to besomeday, or something. You know, I dont know. But thosewords would just sing, sing, sing, and I never reallyunderstood it, until this month. So at the throat is where youhave the conscious creativity. I say to him what if you know,

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 25 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    26/36

    just, if he knew someone that could record me just going inand chanting the seed sound for each Chakra, and thestudies Ive done on sound as healing have been amazingwhats going on, in the medical community with healing.

    CHAKRAS AND HEALING

    Harvard and Columbia have both done studies on healingfor cancer, for rheumatoid arthritis, for different things, andtheyre finding that different notes resonate with differentdiseases. And there are specific notes for the Chakras,starting with whatever, it starts, with abc, I guess. It startswith c, okay. C D E F A B Okay. and each Chakra has a

    complement note, that is five above, or five on. So if you getup here, you go one, two, three, four, five. Okay.

    So interestingly enough, the crown Chakra resonating noteis the heart. So Im learning all this amazing stuff aboutsound, resonance, all of those different things. Reallyunusual. And weve come up with basically this backgroundmusic for these guided meditations. I thought, when welistened to it, it was just like when I finished the recordingthe, just the lam, you know, vam, ram, ham.

    I had just come from a meeting with the Board of Directorsof the bank, and my solar plexus was completely blown out.And I was chanting, you know, lammmmm...for the root, andthen vammmm, and then when he called me he said Youknow, your ram is a little short, and you got to the ram, thethird Chakra, and it was like rom. I was like totally blownout. So these chants, making a sound come out of you, canconnect you with whats going on in your Chakras. Whichones are easier and which ones arent.

    So afterwards, wed finished, and I said What if I do just,

    its something thats really sacred to me. Its something I doon my own. Some chants. And basically, Chakra chantsare God God God, Love Love Love. thats basically thegeneral idea of any kind of chants you hear, as far as yogagoes.

    If you go to a kirtan and people are sitting there and theyresinging and theyre doing this thats basically what theyre

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 26 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    27/36

    saying. And theres one that I do to praise, thats a praise forGod, thats called Sri Ram Jai Ram, and another one that isa call to God, its a supplication, and its Om namah shivayaand that is Om, the name of shiva. So its like a calling to

    God.

    And so Im telling Perry kind of what I want to have happenin these, and hes just really talented, amazing thing that hecame up with. I am offering this CD with just the music too,because you can put it in and you can lay back and you canfeel that resonance.

    So you can get the Throat Chakra resonance in the root orin the creative center or in the solar plexus. The wholeprocess has been totally conscious and creative and

    terrifying, and totally natural too, which is really interesting.So when we speak from our throat, we start to live morecreatively. Its more than scrapbookings great, but Imtalking about live creatively.

    SPEAK / SING / CHANT YOUR TRUTHAND HEAL YOUR THROAT CHAKRA

    Doing things different or seeing things different than youve

    seen them before, its kind of the work of the Throat Chakra,and speaking truth is probably the biggest freer of thethroat. How good does it kids? Theyre awesome. Hi,how are you today? Dont you wish you could do that?

    So what do you do to kind of heal or clear the throat? Thehum chant is wonderful for throat clearing. And how are wedoing on time? Okay. Great.

    Basically, what youre doing with this chanting, so you canuse these throat chants to tune into your root, if you havedeep grounding issues. Or sexual center, instinctualcreativity. Healing that place, healing the distortions of thesecond Chakra. I talk a lot about in the guided imagerymediations of the Chakra, where Im basically sort ofguiding you through a relaxation and a balancing of thesepoints in the body.

    What is going on is called sonic entrainment, and there is areally great book called Sound as Healing and its by

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 27 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    28/36

    Mitchell Gainer, and Ill just read The process by which thepowerful rhythmic vibrations of one object are projectedupon a second object with a similar frequency therebycausing that object to vibrate in resonance with the first

    object.

    Theyre finding peoples blood pressure lowers, people whosuffer from high blood pressure, if they put in the rightmusic, the heartbeat actually resonates with the beat of thesong. Interestingly enough. And in terms of soundresonance, in terms of sound and healing, waves mayentrain the human organism, causing us to vibrate inresonance with those waves in a variety of interconnectedways. On one level, so called sonic entrainment may alterour energetic states of being, leading to psychological

    transformation, often very subtle, but over time, its verypowerful. On another level, sonic entrainment can affect usemotionally, which can thus influence us on a cellular level.Numerous studies have shown the degree to which stress,pessimism, and feelings of hopelessness depress everyaspect of our immune system.

    The Throat Chakra exists in a way that sometimes we liveas though we have a noose around our neck. And to speakfreely will loosen that. Through the process of entrainment,you can transform the negative and repressed emotions

    into a state of psychological equanimity that directs animmediate effect on our physiology.

    If I talk to you like this, you will relax, you will start to yawn,and eventually you will all be asleep, and I will be up heretalking like this.

    But if you talk to someone whos like (annoying noises)youre like Hi, Im feeling good too you really get thatresonance. A lot of times, you know if youre in kind of anarea with someone who is maybe of a lower vibration,

    because the vibration actually comes out through the voice.Im not talking about volume, or pitch even. Sonicentrainment can restore harmony between our innermostselves, our essence and the universe, thus reawakeningour spiritual consciousness.

    Its a really interesting book, and he discusses these seedsounds that are on this CD. What Im going to have us do

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 28 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    29/36

    right now, if youd just like to sit up nice and straight, weregoing to do just a little uji breathing. and this is a breath,really from the Throat Chakra. Uji, we talked about at thevery first introduction of the series. Its a fairly simple

    breath. Theres a sound with this breath, similar to thesound of the waves of the ocean. Its done by touching thetip of the tongue just behind the two front teeth.

    Like that. The lips close, but the tongue just lightly touches.And it relaxes, youll notice its spread, kind of against thesides of the bottom teeth, okay? Now, back to the openmouth, you make the sound that you would make byfogging up sunglasses, and then an inhale. So its like awhisper. So it is like that too. I go for the ocean. But if youhold your hand in front of your face and do that, feel the

    heat? it comes out on the hand. With the lips closed,youre creating that warming within your own body. So in themiddle of the night, when I wake up, and Im cold and Imtoo tired to go get another cover, Ill just do like threeminutes of uji, and Ill wake up the next morning in the sameposition I was when I fell asleep.

    OPENING YOUR THROAT CHAKRA

    Its really soothing. Its great for insomnia, but its also anenergizing breath. So when you start practicing uji, I go intoa lot of detail on that pranayama Cd, about how to do it, aswell as others. But when you start, you want to do itprobably mid day until you know how it affects you.Because once you become sort of adept at the pranayamapractice, you can use it to either relax or energize yourself.Its really amazing, and it opens up all the energeticchannels in the body. So deep breath in same on theinhale. And you want to think about the air, ideally, it wontreally, but metaphorically coming in and out through the

    jugular notch. So think about breathing from here.

    Really soothing. To further open up the Throat Chakra, wecan do some shoulder work. I can show you some thingsyou can do at home, that are Thai yoga therapy, if youvegot a partner. Or theres a sign up sheet. I have availabilityin week three and four of July, if anyones interested in asession. But Throat Chakra issues. Anybody in here have

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 29 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    30/36

    real specific Throat Chakra issues that would be willing tocome up and let me work on your shoulders? Okay comeon up.

    Just sit on the end of the bolster, just with your legscrossed, if thats feasible for you. Okay. Just so youre niceand comfy. With the Throat Chakra, we hold a tremendousamount of tension right here and right here. Okay? So youwant to lift through the heart, because were going inthrough the throat. Palms of the hands on those little knots,and then as you exhale, you want to keep the heart lifted.Deep breathe in, and exhale. We spend about twentyminutes on the shoulders and neck, in the Thai yogasessions.

    Deep breath in again, so you basically just spreading theshoulders. Where do you feel that to? On your head? Canyou feel it up on your head? the throat and the heart areconnected, baby, well just put it that way. To deepen, alittle bit deeper, a nice deep breath. If you want to, tell meto stop. Keep the heart lifted, deep breath. Gentle pressurewith the exhale. Another deep breath. So you can reallyrelease a lot.

    THROAT CHAKRA YOGA GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE

    One of the variation of headstands for the throat chakra - forintermediate or advance yogis

    And then a great one is to extend the neck, come back tocenter, lift the back of the head, lift the heart, just a little liftright through there. Im going to guide the head to one side,deep breath in. Again. and it just takes that muscle and itsays stop it some more deep breath. Tight shoulders areactually a Throat Chakra issue, as much as a heart.

    Tight shoulders this way, which is where I am, is reallyclosing in and protecting that heart area. Up here, its thethroat. Because this muscle here connects right up into the

    jaw. So opposite side and over. Just a nice little release.

    Just like that, just nice pressure there.

    Now go ahead, and lace the hands behind the head. This isa throat and a heart opener. So Im putting my foot just atthe base of her spine. My knee, in fact, why dont we haveyou turn around this way? So my foot is at the base of herspine, my knee is right next to her scapula. Deep breath in.

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 31 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    32/36

    Just like that, and then we switch sides. Sorry, I know myback is to the camera, forgive me.

    Okay, so working on the shoulders, tight shoulders, can be

    not speaking your own truth, or holding someone elses lies,within your body. Thank you. Do you mind holding the mikewhile I work on her?

    For the Thai yoga therapy on this, basically drawing theshoulders down and away, again. Stop it some more, shesaid it. Extra points. To open up this back side of the body,these upper shoulders and right behind the heart, willactually connect through the throat. So its all connectedthere. Not only energetically, but physically.

    So to open up the shoulders, top right there hold on tomy arm. All I sort of do is work the tricep, and just take myelbow, deep breath in, a little bit of pressure. Again. Andthen swing it around behind you. Thai yoga is the mostbizarre thing to watch, but its actually one of the mostnatural ways to move the body.

    Its just very organic. Everything moves connected toeverything else. And then I take my thumb right underneathher scapula, and just press in at the back of her scapula.and I just basically push my thumb up under her scapula, so

    it releases this muscle right here, that comes right up tohere, to the speech. Okay, let me do the other side. So justholding on to my forearm there.

    Just press in with the elbow, just naturally opens things upagain. One of my yogis said to me, Thai yoga, I see myselfin 3D in Thai yoga therapy.

    You know we never see ourselves. Its always in a mirror, areflection. When you get into your body in these variouslevels, its really amazing what you see in yourself. Deep

    breath in, thumb just goes in as the shoulder goes back.And thats actually connecting speech, heart, speech.

    Go ahead and lay back, and this is something anyone cando, as long as youve got a partner. Go ahead and extendyour legs back, and Ill try not to push myself off the end. Soyou can release pretty much all the Chakras sorry Perry by just taking the ankles. You can give me the weight of

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 32 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    33/36

    your legs. And its not you specifically. Its like every singleperson I work on, I lift the legs, and some people I couldremove my hands, and it would stay right there.

    Deep breath in, exhale, and I just pull back. Thatll releaseall the way up the back to the top of the head. And all thatdoes is it takes her whole body, but specifically her neck.When we lay, we lay like this. It takes the neck, and it goeswhoo, and just aligns the back of the head.

    One foot, one shoulder, other side, and then I just hold thebase of her skull. So if you were to take your hands and

    just go like this, youd feel it. Right there. Its actually part ofthe Throat Chakra/third eye region.

    As she exhales, I push down with my feet and I pull up withmy hands. Some gentle pressure again. Sorry. Its justfabulous. The whole process last two hours, so we startfrom the toes and go all the way to the head, but itsamazing. It is from a Chakra perspective. It balances yourChakras.

    Now, you can just lay there if youre tired, and you just wantto stay there. Were just going to finish tonight, Tom howam I on time? Okay. Were just going to finish tonight, Illshare with you a little off of this CD that Ive explained about

    tonight.

    I just called it Chakra Resonance, because I couldnt thinkof a fancy, sort of pseudo name, but basically its just aresonating with the Chakras.

    Since were on the throat tonight, I was just going to playthe through for you, okay? And then maybe well do a fewhammms ourselves. If you feel comfortable enough tohamm along. I would suggest that you kind of do it out loudwith the music, if you feel comfortable. Not required.

    The space between two notes is what this Chakra is about,just as much as the sound of hammm. Can you hear that?Is it hooked in? (chanting hammmms) So its just about thatconnection with the sound of the throat.

    Deep breath. Just that movement, the space. So just kind oftake it in. You can close your eyes, take a deep breath onthe pause. Come out. So where are you feeling it in your

    2010 Carol Tuttle Page 33 All rights reserved.

  • 8/13/2019 Module 06 FifthThroat Chakra

    34/36

    body? Whether youre doing it out loud, or just listening andtaking it all in.

    Feel the sound resonate with the silence and the

    connection. Just kind of centering yourself in the presentmoment. As you just gently begin that uji breath, justimagine the blue of an azure sky coming in and out throughthat jugular notch of the throat. Coming in to wash cleananything false, coming out to witness your own personaltruth.

    Reaching out through the arms, lift them to align with theears, as you inhale up, reach through the spine, lift throughthe belly, and when youre ready reach back through thehands, and exhale out falling forward at the hips. Inhale,

    bend the knees in a gentle squat, and roll back as youexhale.

    Gently roll forward as you inhale, pressing off with thehands, exhale, lift the hips, and allow yourself to fall into aforward fold. Inhale, the arms out to the sides, and upthrough hips.
