Throat chakra...can anyone help please?

[bluestar]

ok my problem is this...my throat chakra really tightens up sometimes when I have to speak in company. That is -even if I'm talking to friends! Now this doesn't happen all the time. Like today, I was talking to a friend on the telephone for a half hour and it didn't happen. Then I went out to dinner later with 3 people, and it did happen until I could hardly talk and even became really self conscious and uneasy! When I'm at home, or talk to my dog, it doesn't happen. I sing songs when I'm walking my dog -and I'm fine!
But it's started happening so much when I speak with other people. It's OK at first when we meet, then develops after a few minutes. I can feel it starting and can't stop it.
I tried, so far....breathing exercises, drinking water, trying to relax more....but it's as if my throat chakra has a mind of its own.
Please, anyone -what could be going on here?
(I feel this is psychological/energy problem rather than physical because I'm not hoarse and don't have a cold or sore throat)

Can anyone help please?

(It's just occurred to me I might have posted my question on the wrong section of the forum? If so, sorry.)

what separates you from other people or what are your concerns when trying to communicate?

i think it is a psychological issue.

you might try opening it, but begin from the bottom and open them all, and just put more focus on the throat. Chakras are not mainly independent.

Thank you summerbreeze. you made some really interesting points here. I have to think deeply about what you said. "What separates me"? Maybe it is something like that. But I don't know what yet. Can't manage to analyze it yet.

It's very strange because this is recent, it has never happened before. I was kind of trying to ignore it -hoping it would go away or resolve of its own accord, like maybe I was just in a weird mood or whatever....but because it has been happening so often and especially worse tonight I thought it time I found some assistance, as things are getting WAY worse.

Are you afraid to say something that is not agreeable?
Lack of self-confidence, when it comes to your personal-viewpoints and beliefs in the public?
Do you think you are in some kind different than the most people you know?

Just possibilities, not personal questions...

As your emotions about this are fresh just try to go into sleep with this question tonight, if your "dream manager" is kind he will show you something in your own way, you can understand. The throat chakra is important for dreaming, so he should be concerned
For your subconscious: just write a note with your question and put it under your pillow, and put the intention out to let the question be answered.

If it works you made little effort to get to know what's the matter.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will do that.
It might be some sort of self esteem problem... I've been getting this queer feeling recently actually it has been creeping up on me for a while now, maybe over a year -like I'm "not as good as...." or my house is "not as nice as...." or "my hair looks crap, or " I've got a little hole in my T shirt...no-one else I know would wear a T shirt with a hole in it" (but it feels comfortable and nice so I keep wearing it!)...you know,silly stuff like that ha ha!
Weird thing is -I have never thought like that in my life! I've always been happy with what I am. Always felt creative, always felt OK about myself etc....content with ME. I honestly don't know what has recently come over me.

Sing! My friend told me that's how she strengthened hers. I gave it a try, it works well. Crank up your favourite tunes and sing along .

[Summerbreeze]

Good idea, singing is also a good way. Just go for it at least in the shower, be silly
If you are struggling with limiting beliefs just try your way to eliminate them for a few days, if you are running in circles with this, drop me a pm I've some stuff that was effective for many people, but during copy right and so on i can't post it on a forum. But it is important to get yourself thinking about them firstly.

Thanks everyone!
Sing? Oh yes I do. I love to sing all kinds of things when I'm out walking and I'm deep breathing and enjoying it, then I really really let rip! Most times I don't hit the high notes but that doesn't matter I just try again next time!

(no-one there listening! I really find myself tensing up though if anyone's listening!!) grrr!

Singing is good. Chanting is good.

But most important is finding your own Truth. When we live in a space where we accept and live our personal Truth, we are not afraid of rejection or judgement. Lacking this fear allows us to Speak with Grace and Authority - which is the foundation of the Throat Chakra as I understand it.
