Many, many years ago, I walked away. from a dance career and
ultimately my creativity when I left an audition for the Academy Awards in
tears. I had blown the audition. Claude Thompson – master instructor and
choreographer, was in charge of the audition and choreography of the awards
show. I had taken many master classes with Claude and I knew his technique and style. He even looked at me quizzically afterwards. I stumbled out of the audition blind from the tears that coursed down my face.
Many years later, I am feeling the affects of denying my
creativity and the many gifts God bestowed on me. Fear, rage, and depression have kept me from
drawing, teaching and choreographing dance, and singing. The only creative
thing I have done was write; which is not enough for me. As a result, I have experienced swollen
glands and throat, tooth and gum problems, and pain in my jaw, and stuttering.
Chakras are energy centers that are spread throughout the
body. There are seven chakras that interact with one another. When they are out of sync, they can impact us
negatively - emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Each chakra is
associated with particular functions within the body and with specific life
issues and the way we handle them, both inside ourselves and in our
interactions with the world. As centers of force, chakras can be thought of as
sites where we receive, absorb, and distribute life energies. Through external
situations and internal habits, such as long-held physical tension and limiting
self-concepts, a chakra can become either deficient or excessive—and therefore
imbalanced.
The throat chakra governs self - expression, communication
of feelings, speaking the truth, and holding secrets. When the throat chakra is out of whack; it
can affect your creativity, open the door for addictions, and negatively influence
your decision, faith, and criticism monitors.
Anger is also stored in the throat.
Fear of retribution often kept me from expressing myself at
my work and living situations. Now I am
more honest with myself and others, I journal, blog, and express my self more creatively. I am planning a space in my new apartment that I am
moving into just for my creative projects.
Do not deny your creativity!
Express yourself. Do not allow
depression, rage, and fear stop you from being an authentic, creative, and
purposeful human being!
