The throat allows us to express who we are, and therefore the way we position ourselves in the outside world.
It is also of fundamental importance in the realization of our creativity, of our creative freedom, since it allows us to express our dreams and ask for what we need.
In the throat is located one of the energy centers of man as a being. And it has a special importance, since it allows us to situate ourselves in our space through language.
When there are problems of loss of voice or difficulty speaking, we can immediately think about what is being honest with us, and look for what is going through our throat, either in one direction or another.
It may be that because we are hoarse we cannot say what we want to say, and we do not express it for fear of the consequences that this would have. It is here where the conscious drowns the unconscious that struggles to come out and tell the truth about it, and the throat suffers the consequences of repression.
For this reason, aphonia, or hoarse or inaudible voice problems, reveal a possible repressed anger. The consequences of saying what I have to say may be more painful than what is currently happening to me, and so I hold it back. And since I can’t consciously repress it, because it’s going to come out, I do it in a veiled way, and I get hoarse. The manipulation of the conflict is evident.
An emotion that is too great (helplessness, restlessness) can lead me to no longer knowing what to say or which direction to take, or how to interpret this direction in relation to the emotion experienced. It may be that this strong emotion has been experienced on a sexual level and has more direct repercussions in the throat or in the vocal cords because, in a certain way, my second center of energy (sexual) is more directly linked to the throat, my fifth center. of energy. Anyway, my sensitivity (hyper-emotivity) is hurt and I can no longer say anything!
It is common for you to feel “breathless”: “If I scatter my energies too much, particularly after an emotional blow, an inner “emptiness” will be created due to my inner restlessness and the sounds will be “swallowed” by this emptiness. Therefore it is very important for me that I reconnect with the breath of my inner communication.” This is what you can feel.
It is a clear sign of the rage of not being able to raise your voice, yell at the aggressor, at the cause of the penalty, what needs to be said. Either for fear of losing their love, job, respect, or simply due to inability or lack of strength or will in front of the person who has taken our energy -or we have given it-, and has power over us.
As the disease is the transit of the soul and the personality through different and opposite paths, there is an additional interpretation, and it is the difficulty of accepting the path that is being taken. That is to say accepting the path that the personality is traveling, to feel good with its manifestations, to feel internally the problems that are incubating when expressing what is expressed verbally, both in form and substance.
This is because language is generative, it generates realities, and if the soul is not in the line that the personality is choosing, it can then manifest itself in this way, in such a way that the person is allowed a breather, a pause, to do the necessary introspection.
In the opposite direction, the message is easier, because it accurately interprets the difficulty in “swallowing” something that has happened to us, especially some strong trauma. We have heard of many cases of people who have momentarily lost their voice after experiencing traumatic events. So the message can be elucidated by asking, what is it that I don’t want, or can’t, admit? When the hoarseness is associated with difficulty swallowing, even saliva, the message of the symptom is more than evident.
So, if you are hoarse, ask yourself, for example: What can’t I admit or accept at this point in my life? What do I not dare to say about the consequences that this can bring, what consequences do I fear?
We must remember that the disease is not a curse and is there to teach us what we have not consciously wanted to learn, and aphonia has very clear messages.
Facilitating and healing phrase: I learn to express my emotions, my creativity and my ideas in the way I feel best, respecting my abilities.
