Feeling Blue- The Throat Chakra

Chakras are defined as being energy centers within the human body.  Most popularly known are the seven main energy points are known as the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown Chakras.  Each of these energy hot spots or Chakras is aligned with various vital organs of the body and is believed by many to be closely tied to our spiritual, physical and emotional attributes.  I have had a pretty healthy curiosity about Chakras since 2011 when I took my first anatomy class in mortuary school but never really followed through with educating myself about them until having a few  recent experiences.  

A few weeks ago I was lying in bed half asleep half awake and I had the thought to ask my body where it needed my attention most, so I did.  Silently, in my mind I asked myself “Where are you hurting?  Where do you need love?” several times (for fear of sounding like a complete nut case) before softly speaking the words out loud.   What happened over the next few days was amazing.  It was like my body began to answer me.  At first it was a pain or popping her or a pulling or unexplained tension elsewhere.  To my surprise my body was telling me exactly where she was hurting and waiting for the care and attention that only I could provide.

Now let’s fast forward to last Monday.  My manager and I had decided that we would be juicing for two meals a day Monday- Friday for the month of June (a totally unrelated decision).  Everything got off to a great start but on the first night of our fast I could not sleep.  I tossed and turned for about 3 hours before deciding that masturbation might help alleviate my restlessness.  Upon reaching climax, something happened that I have never experienced before in my life, I was physically overwhelmed with the color blue.  It was as if when I closed my eyes all I could see was blue (I know how silly this sounds and believe me it makes just as much sense to me).  After about another hour and a half of tossing and turning I was finally able to get some rest but I woke up later that same morning haunted by my experience.

As a result of some prior research I knew that Chakras were associated with different colors so I decided to investigate.  After a quick Google search I quickly learned that the color blue was associated with the 5th Root Chakra.  This Chakra is believed to be located in the throat and tied to the ability to communicate.  This experience has peaked my curiosity and inspired me to delve a little deeper and learn more about this Chakra and discover its true power (if any)  for myself.  

Mind, Body and Spirit

We as individuals are the spirits and minds that occupy our bodies. Have you ever wondered why it is then, that we so willingly entrust the care of our most valuable commodity to the discretion of others to evaluate, diagnose and treat with little to no regard as to what we may be able to do to care for ourselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  As a result a desire to become educated in and obtain a deep knowledge and understanding of ourselves has created many of the illnesses (spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally) that we see and experience in our world today.

My name is Joe'l Simone Anthony.  Many of you may know me as The Grave Woman.  My encounters and experiences as a funeral service professional, in the death care industry, and in life have ignited my passionate desire for health and wellness in every area of my being.

I believe that a true knowledge of one’s self spiritually, emotionally and physically is essential to healing on all levels however, I find it strange that in most cases symptoms are treated as opposed to the root of our problems and disturbances.  I invite you to join my quest for TRANSITION into health and wellness on all levels Spirit, Mind and Body.
