THE FIFTH CHAKRA The throat area is the area where you feel most vulnerable physically. And it is the place that you tend to tense up in order to provide a feeling of enough density to be invulnerable. It is like you armor yourself there, or shield yourself there. Now it happens that generally speaking around your globe the fifth chakra is opening. This is a part of the shift of consciousness, part of the development. And in light of that point of development your tendency to protect yourself in this area is becoming significantly more oppositional to the opening process. And so, the distress is becoming more pronounced. PAUL: Okay, this is me. There is a book that hes recommending that you obtain, and its called Energy Ecstasy. The author is Bernard Gunther. The book has to do with learning how--either by yourself or with a partner--how to clear the chakras. Are you familiar with the term chakras? Okay. One of the reasons I think this book is of special value is because it helps one learn how to clear his own chakras or her own chakras alone so that youre not at a loss, if you can tell things are out of kilter, youre not at a loss because you cant find anybody to help clear your chakras. And the sense is to use the technique that is shown for clearing the throat chakra, so that you can maybe once a day take time to sit down, take some quiet time to clear the blocks in there so that you become more in harmony with the general opening of the sixth chakra which everyone is in one way or another experiencing. Its like you have a habit thats pulling in one direction and when nothing was happening with the chakra it was just as intense as it was. But not that theres an opening up, its like theres a pulling against your tendency to shield yourself and its creating more intensity. And you need to begin to relax so that youre moving in the same direction that your Being is unfolding in. I hope that made sense. Okay. Okay, I have to put this in my own words too. The fear around letting go arises out of the feeling that if you really let go you will be especially vulnerable. But if you understand that the unblocking of the fifth chakra constitutes a clearer experience of the integrity of your self-expression, a clearer experience of the cohesiveness of your expressing yourself, it will be more reasonable to you to conceive of going ahead and relaxing and letting go of the control in that area. Okay. That is the end of the answer. ~excerpt from Gathering with Raj/Jesus Carmel 1986 Conducted by the Northwest Foundation for ACIM nwffacim.wordpress FaceBook:https://facebook/groups/183859725130360/ All of the activities of the Northwest Foundation for A Course In Miracles are provided without charge or obligation.
