Opening the Throat Chakra 666

Please note: this is a very difficult hand position [mudra] unless you have very small hands. The hand positions are not mandatory and are optional. Just skip the hand position if this is in any way difficult for you. The vibration is the key here, and you should be relaxed. Trying to force your hands into the mudra is a distraction. Mudras should be comfortable.

To open the throat chakra, fold your hands together as in the photo, thumbs touching side by side; do not fold the thumbs. **This hand position is difficult. For those of you with larger hands, it can be skipped. It is best to be relaxed and not in any pain or discomfort while performing these exercises.

Take a deep breath and hold it for as long as comfortable (do not push this). Then, release your breath and vibrate: HAUM until you have exhaled completely.
HHH-AH-AH-AH-UUU-MMM
THE *H* SHOULD BE A DEEP HISS IN THE THROAT, LIKE A CAT, BUT HISSING DEEPLY.

The important thing is to feel it strongly in your throat, above the hollow. Do this 5-7 times. Remember—getting the correct tone can take some practice. The chant should vibrate your throat area. This exercise can be done once a week or more as needed.
