Throat Center

The throat center is where you’re able to express yourself in many ways spoken or written. If you look at your chart, you can see that inspiration hits from the head, then you process that inspiration into an idea and you use your throat to express and articulate it.

With 11 gates, the throat center is also one of the most complex centers (Gates are little numbers inside the shape). This gives the throat many different lenses it can express itself in which means how you naturally speak comes through the lens of what gates you have defined.

Based on if you have it Open or Defined, you can leverage the advantages of each to express your work.

When it comes to marketing, you want to experiment with different platforms in what feels good to you as your marketing tool, because each platform, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Blogging, Pinterest, Linkedin has a different style and some nuances. 

You want to pick one that gives you more of your signature feeling first as your primary platform.

*Email is not in there because email is NOT a lead generation platform, meaning you can’t get leads using emails, it’s made to nurture

The throat center has a tendency to want to get attention and be recognized for what they say, and when we are posting and showing up when we don’t get the attention and recognition we start to slump into a lower expression state of ourselves (not just the throat center but can cascade to all your open centers)

The most common feeling is burnt-out when you’re not getting engagement or sales consistently on your platforms.

This means, especially if you’re starting out, whatever you choose, not only ensure it fits your signature, but also be aware of how long it could take due to the nature of the platform. 

This is why it’s important to align your strategy, authority and signature together then go for it.

Lastly ,give yourself  “grace” if you want to pivot to another platform if it doesn’t work out because you don’t know what you don’t know until you experience it. 

In Business your Throat Center loves:

• Articulation and expression of your offer and ideas

• A platform that allows for engagement, recognition and attention

• Conversation

When your Throat center is defined (coloured in)

This means you have access to articulate your thoughts, ideas and summaries. However there is a fixed way that you communicate which is a good thing for you because you are consistent in how you express yourself and stand in your space, this is me, this is how I speak, cause it’s the way it is.

When you have a defined throat, this also means it’s connected to another energy center which defines how you best communicate (spoken and written) and depending on which gates you have defined that is a filter or lens it comes through.

Your throat can connect to:

• The G-Center (you speak most powerful when it comes from your true identity)

• Ego/Will Center (You speak from the heart and ego)

• Spleen (You speak from intuition)

• Solar Plexus (you speak through emotion and mood)

• Ajna (you speak from your mind)

One powerful expression of the throat is you are less affected by needing recognition and attention (at high expression)  compared to an Open throat. You don’t feel the pressure to speak because you know what and how to speak and it comes naturally for you.

At high expression with an defined Throat:

• You’re not under pressure to always say something

• You speak when you need to or when the time is right

• You can articulate what you need to say and not need recognition

At low expression with an defined Throat:

• Speaking or saying something when it’s not the right time for others

• Talking too much

• Make claims but not follow through

When your Throat center is open  (not coloured in)

This means you're not the source of this energy, and require an outside source which could be speaking or being around other people, an environment, a podcast, TV show that help you articulate what you need. 

With an open throat how you communicate is not fixed, which means you adapt to the situation around you. And because it’s an open center you help others expand their voice and help them articulate what they want to say.

 Voice actors/actresses and Copywriters are good examples of open throat energy.

When you have an open throat, sometimes when you speak you’re not sure what’s going to come out and how organized it is, taking it from thought to expression. So it’s normal when you’re talking to someone the first little bit might be clearing that and moving the energy before what you’re saying really comes together. 

This is not a weakness, it’s just how your energy works, so during brainstorming sessions you’re killer at these to get ideas on paper then put it together.

At high expression with an open Throat:

• You follow and honor your strategy of when to speak so you’re not doing it to chase attention and recognition

• You adapt how you communicate based on who you’re with

• Comfortable with silence

At low expression with an open Throat:

• You talk, just to talk to try and “dominate” the conversation hoping the words that come out will stick

• You feel pressure to always say something and initiate conversation

• You’re speaking to try and attract attention and recognition to yourself
