Hello Throat Chakra, the center of communication, authenticity, and self-expression. This is my fourth and final visit with this chakra in this challenge, and I have to say, I’m feeling the difference. My words flow more easily, my thoughts feel clearer, and I no longer need to rehearse every conversation in my head like I’m preparing for a TED Talk.
The days of swallowing my words are mostly over. I no longer nervously edit myself to be “nice” instead of true. Okay, maybe those days are not completely gone, but they’re definitely less frequent. This chakra has spent enough time in the spotlight to remind me that my voice matters. My truth is valid. Self-expression isn’t something to shrink away from. Today, I’m leaning into clarity, embracing my own rhythm and letting my voice take up space.
Throat Chakra Cards That Whisper Truth and Dreams
The cards today? Absolute mic drop moments from the universe.
The Throat Chakra, with its cool blue energy, is all about communication and authenticity. It’s the place where we weave our thoughts into words and our dreams into reality The first card was Wisdom from the Oracle Wisdom deck. This card didn’t just show up. I mean it practically sat me down for a heart-to-heart. It reminded me that wisdom isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about trusting what you already know and speaking from a place of truth. Sometimes, wisdom is saying, “I don’t have all the answers, but here’s what I feel.” It’s the kind of energy that makes you want to call your best friend and say, “You know what? You were right about that thing.”
Then came Let Your Dreams Be Woven True from the Dream Weaver’s Oracle. This card whispered, “Your dreams aren’t just ideas. They’re threads waiting to be woven into something beautiful.” It encouraged me to speak my dreams out loud, even if they feel a little wild or far-fetched. Because let’s be honest, the best dreams are the ones that make you think, “Wait, can I really do that?” Spoiler alert: yes, you can.
Together, these cards painted a picture of the Throat Chakra as a space for truth and creativity. Wisdom reminded me to trust my voice, and Let Your Dreams Be Woven True encouraged me to use that voice to bring my dreams to life.
Acknowledging My Adventure with the Throat Chakra
The cards have been sending me serious vibes about relationships lately, as if the universe is saying, “Hey, maybe it’s time to give the dating world another whirl.” But here’s the thing. I’m somewhere in mid-life and this is not the typical age to date. And honestly, the dating “pool” feels more like a puddle, and I’m standing at the edge wondering if it’s even worth rolling up my pant legs.
Here’s my truth. Dating at this stage of life isn’t exactly about fairy tales or grand gestures. It’s about navigating the real-life logistics of raising a teenager (complete with their built-in ability to find and point out cringe moments), preparing for a big move to the city, and juggling a hybrid work schedule. Somewhere in between parenting, packing, and figuring out what to wear to the office three days a week, I’m supposed to find time—and energy—for romance? Let’s just say, it feels like a bit of a tightrope walk.
Speaking My Truth to Myself First
Today’s Throat Chakra challenge from Rachel felt like the perfect way to process all of this. If I’m being honest, the thought of dating again comes with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. On one hand, there’s the hope of meeting someone who gets it—who understands the balance of life chaos and occasional calm. On the other hand, there’s the reality of my packed schedule and the small matter of, well, finding someone to connect with in the first place.
To honor the challenge, I sat with this truth for a bit. I haven’t downloaded any apps, and I’m not sure I will. I’ve been reflecting on what I’d even want in a connection, and writing it all down in a journal felt like the most authentic way to start. It was like having a conversation with myself about what I’m ready for—and what I’m not.
Reflecting on the Truth Telling Process
Afterward, I felt a mix of relief and empowerment. Admitting that I’m interested, but only in a way that feels authentic to me, felt like clearing space in my mind. The Throat Chakra thrives on truth, and even though I haven’t leapt into the dating pool, I’ve acknowledged my own feelings about it.
For now, I’m taking this one step at a time. Maybe love will show up in the checkout line or during a coffee run. Who knows? The important thing is being open to possibility—even if it’s not via apps or grand gestures—and staying true to what feels right for me.
Throat Chakra Energy & Beyond
As I wrap up Day 27, I find myself reflecting on the weight of truth and the courage it takes to speak it. There’s something undeniably empowering about showing up for myself, embracing my voice, and letting my honesty shine. Each step has been a little victory. But let’s be real, empowerment doesn’t always feel effortless. Sometimes it’s more like breaking in a new pair of shoes, where the promise of looking great is accompanied by a few awkward stumbles and a pinch or two along the way.
What I’ve learned is that discomfort is just part of the process. It’s a sign I’m stepping into something new, pushing boundaries, and creating space for growth. Letting my truth out into the world, even when it feels messy or uncertain, is a reminder that showing up authentically is the most important thing I can do for myself.
Take the whole mid-life dating thing, for example. I haven’t even started yet, and it already feels like a comedy of errors waiting to happen. Between raising a teenager with a flair for dramatic eye rolls, moving, and juggling three days in the office with two days working from home, the idea of adding dating into the mix makes me laugh nervously and double-check my calendar. Honestly, if I did dive in, I’d probably have to schedule dates in 15-minute increments between packing boxes and searching for missing car keys.
But here’s what the Throat Chakra has taught me; it’s not about having everything perfectly figured out. It’s about creating space for honesty, even when it feels awkward or uncertain. It’s about showing up, speaking your truth, and letting yourself be a little messy along the way.
Tomorrow, I’ll shift my focus to the Third Eye Chakra, where intuition takes the lead. Trusting my inner knowing feels like the next logical step, especially as I navigate these big changes. Here’s to continuing this journey of self-discovery, one slightly uncomfortable truth at a time and maybe with a coffee date or two in my future.
