I am having emense pain in my right bicep area.<and it radiates to the back of my neck. This is a stabbing pain that seems to have no physical trauma attached to it. I just had a massage from a dear friend which did not make the pain go away but has made it managble, along with some Valerian root. I will not take your advice on relaxation and Humming and toning. Thanks again Redtail Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2000 Report Share Posted January 10, 2000 I think this was originally posted in August; however, someone said I left off with the heart, and if you don't remember seeing it, here it is again <LOL> I'll have the brow or third eye chakra completed and out in a couple of days. Thanks, Paula et al for the boot in the posterior ;-) At last, the long belated fifth in the series discussion regarding the energy centers or chakras. The Throat Chakra Location: At the base of the throat in front, cervical neck area in back Spinal Nerve Plexus: Cervical spinal ganglion (pharyngeal plexus) Glands: Thyroid, Parathyroid Body Parts: Throat, mouth, larynx, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, hands Sanskrit Name: Visuddha Element: Sound/Vibration Color Vibration: Sky Blue Keynote Vibration: G Focus: Communication, creative expression; synthesis of ideas into symbols Stones: turquoise, aquamarine, blue topaz, other light blue stones Incense: frankincense, benzoin Foods: fruits Affirmations: I speak; I hear; I communicate; I express Disorders: Thyroid disorders (Grave's Disease, Myxedema), Parathyroid disorders (Calcium levels in blood), vocal cord disorders (laryngitis, polyps, frozen cords), throat and mouth cancers, hearing disorders and ear infections, canker sores, dental problems, sore throat, popping or ringing in ears, carpal tunnel, tight/sore neck & shoulders, Reynaud's Disease (numb, cold hands), colds & sinus problems, tendency to whine, scream, curse, or otherwise verbally abuse self and others using words or sounds; or conversely, to " clam up " and repress speech Communication is vital to the proper functioning of the body as well as interaction with other beings and the environment. Full communication requires three parts: input, output, and processing. A block at any level of communication may result in a physical or emotional disorder at the throat chakra level. Even mild frustration can lead to a harmful communication problem, such as yelling or sarcasm. If these problems persist or are sublimated/internalized, physical problems of the neck/throat, arms/hands and sinuses/ears can occur. In order to keep the throat chakra functioning well, be conscious of the tightness of the throat and neck; take time to focus on relaxing these areas, especially before attempting communication with others. Humming or toning helps with this process. Stretch the arms, roll the shoulders and neck. Try not to abuse your ears with cacophanous noise; if you work in a loud environment, use your ear protection. Count to ten to give your mind a moment to focus on input before immediately allowing your mouth or hands to deliver output. You will find that you will be getting better quality of responses because your words and actions will be more considered and polished. If you are truly having problems with this issue, you might consider taking a class in drama, speech, dance, tai chi, qi gong or yoga. Patience is a learned skill that is important at this level. And most importantly, know that others may not be as conscious or as courteous as you with communication skills. Be patient and attempt to hear what they are truly saying, rather than how they are saying it. Our greatest flaw in communication is jumping to conclusions and taking offense before knowing what others are attempting to express. If the person's tone is offensive, we tend to ignore the words. This is the key difference between " hearing " and " listening " . In the past, women and children were not encouraged to speak, and if you will notice, many of the disorders at this level are common to women. There is no need for this to persist now, if we learn to feel confident, patient and strong in our communication skills. We can express what we need. We can hear and respond to the needs of others. We can sing, and hug, and laugh, and listen. Just like the blue sky, our possibilities are endless. Animals associated with the throat chakra in East Indian tradition are the elephant, the bull, and the lion. -- Blessings, Crow " Look for Rainbows in the Darkness " -- Rev.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 I've had a similar experience, which turned out to be due to a degenerated disc at C6-C7. In my case, although the arm pain was the more severe, attention to my neck is what provided relief. >Marsha26 > > >Re: The Throat Chakra >Mon, 17 Jan 2000 00:50:21 EST > >In a message dated 1/9/00 9:17:57 PM Eastern Standard Time, >REDTAIL29 >writes: > ><< I am having emense pain in my > right bicep area.<and it radiates to the back of my neck.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 I've had a lot of chiropractic work as well as massage. In particular, work at the scapular insertion of levator scapula and adjacent trazezius can be helpful. This appears to be a common complaint of computer professionals. Proper chair design and placement can help alot. Making a point of getting up and looking around every twenty minutes or so has also helped me. >Mcv1052 > > >Re: The Throat Chakra >Mon, 17 Jan 2000 12:18:23 EST > >from Cathy mcv1052 >I too have had the same thing with my arm and it pertains to a ruptered >disc ftom c-6-T1.
