voices of the throat

Read about The Throat here.

Each of these Gates represent a voice. And we can really lean into our authentic voice by working to adjust our language to operate according to the Voices we carry in our definition. Even if you do not use these exact words, maybe they don’t roll off your tongue (though experiment). you can come from their intention, their energy when you speak.

Look at what gates you have activated (colored in red, black or combination of both) in your bodygraph or find one that resonates to work with. Remember that we all have access to each of these energies through the transits and the auras we encounter however, we want to really focus on speaking from the places we carry definition. If you have this Center completely open, with no Gates defined then you are really a vocal mirror, reflecting those around you. This might make you good at professions that involve dialects, amplifying the voice of someone else, singing, acting, etc..

Play with adjusting your language to your voices and you can explore the deeper meaning of each Gate here.

Gate 62 - “I THINK”
This is the logical voice. Speaking from a place of “I think…” or “I don’t think…”
Designed to use your logic and your gift for details to explain + break down information into ways that people can receive and understand and even convince them (unless you have a defined Ajna). While logical thinking is your jam, make some space for your intuition as well.
Check in that you are sharing details when invited, when you feel called to, in right timing, rather than willy nilly. Avoid the overshare.

Gate 23 - I KNOW
An intuitive voice. Speaking from a place of “I know…” or “I don’t know…”
This may include innovative ways of thinking and understanding. You may know without really knowing how you know.
Utilize your gift to break things down into manageable bites.
Check in that people are ready and receptive to hear your wisdom.’
Reinforce your trust in your knowing by journaling about all the times you’ve been right, when a knowing has proven true. Gather evidence to lean into your gift.

Gate 56 - I BELIEVE
A voice of belief. Speaking from a place of “I believe…” or “I don’t believe…”
This is an experiential seeking energy. It is not an energy connected to facts, logical or based on data. It is more about sharing your ideas + stories. You collect stories, experiences + memories to share which shape your beliefs and have offered you lessons/give you information.
You can use this gift to teach, inform, help others reframe their experiences in ways that bring them clarity or shift their perspective to a higher vibration. You can do the same for yourself. Try reframing negative situations, perspectives, patterns, thought forms in your life with more positivity on what you believe could be possible.

Gate 16 - I EXPERIMENT
This is an energy of trying it out. Speaking from the place of “I experiment” or “I don’t want to try that…” or “I practice….”
There is an infectious enthusiasm to this energy. And, there may be times when you do not feel drawn to or have the energy to follow through on something. This is a bit of that getting a taste energy and in doing so you clarify what is right for you and not. Follow your Strategy + Authority to know what to stick with and what to abandon. When seeing recognition keep coming back to growing and improving your skills.

Gate 20 - I AM NOW
This is an energy of Be Here Now. Speaking from the place of “I am now…” or “I am not now….”. Take your time when it comes to processing and integrating all of your awareness whether it’s what you know, what you’ve learned, how you feel, etc.. Align you thoughts, beliefs, desires and actions steps. As with all then energy in the throat we want to wait to speak for the right timing. Sometimes it’s more powerful not to speak, to slow down and be present. And, do you! Allowing yourself to be different is your greatest asset.

Gate 31 - I LEAD
This is the voice of teaching someone to fish rather than fishing for them. Speaking from the place of “I lead….” or “I don’t lead…” by being in touch with what the collective needs. You are often thrust into leadership or roles where you have influence. This is a projected energy so it is letting it come to you and then figuring out if it is right for you based on your Strategy + Authority.
It’s good to focus on being of service even if you don’t get the validation for it you desire. Listen to the needs of your community + empower them to find the answers and accomplish their goals on their own. I love thinking of this from the New Paradigm of leadership, from the place of empowerment and space holding, from the place where we are all doing the work together and all have room to grow, leadership without pedestals where everyone brings something to the table.

Gate 8 - I KNOW I CAN HELP, I CONTRIBUTE
This is a voice of service. “I know I can help/contribute/make a difference…”, “I don’t know if I can help or contribute here.”
You empower and lead by example rather than forcing or controlling, by being uniquely you.
This energy wants to save the world. They feel driven to. Understanding the rest of your chart holistically can help you to figure out how to channel this energy in the most productive way.
You are designed to be in the public.

Gate 33 - I REMEMBER
A voice that learns from the past. Speaking from “I remember…” or “I don’t remember….”
This is the archetype of the storyteller sharing the lessons they’ve learned along the way. This energy needs time to retreat and process what they’ve learned. When you don’t try to control or judge your experience as it is happening, when you stay present, you gain more clarity on the lessons that are helpful following even if it doesn’t make sense in the moment. Take inventory of the remembering worth sharing and the ones better left forgive and/or forgotten.

On a deeper level this is the energy of remember-ing oneself. Speaking from the place of the higher mind, the one who remembers who you came here to be. In the way that we come to this membership and self-inquiry to remember ourselves. This is the place to speak from.

Gate 35 - I FEEL / I EXPERIENCE
A voice tied to your emotional landscape. Speaking from “I feel…” or “I don’t feel…”
An energy deeply tied to your emotions and the emotional journey you are on in life which has offered you wisdom.
Find healthy practices and tools of support when you are feeling bored, unfulfilled or disappointed.
Take inventory of what you feel your experiences teach you.
If goals or action steps don’t feel aligned for you, follow what feels right and allow yourself to be spontaneous.

Gate 12 - I KNOW I CAN TRY, I ACT
This is a creative, articulate voice, a voice of inner knowing as well. The voice of “I act…”, “I don’t act…” (for Manifestors), “I know I can try to….” or “I don’t know if I can to that…
Being in the right mood to share + socialize is key for you. When sharing when you’re not in the right mood, or you didn’t take a correct reading of the room, your impact will be lost.
Take your time to gather your thoughts + wait for your inner knowing.
For you how you speak and your tone of voice is as if not more important than what you are sharing.

Gate 45 - I HAVE
This is the voice of “I have…” or “We have” or “I/We don’t have….the answer, solution, material possessions”
Because this is a Tribal energy you often speak for your community which is why the ‘we’.
Tied to the material + tangible. Similar to the Power perspective you may see the world through gains and losses, haves and have nots.
Step up, if it feels right according to your Strategy + Authority, when you are called into leadership however be mindful of taking an authoritative voice which is harsh, not inclusive or unhelpful.
