Hi friends. Okay, we are talking about the throat center, which is all about manifestation and is a communication center. There are 11 gates off of the throat center. They all have gate names and they all have voices, so this might take a little bit longer to go through. I'd like to. Not talk about the gates of the throat center so much, but talk about the voices of the throat center.

Then we're gonna talk about the open throat center and the defined throat center. So the voices of the throat center are, very specific. Gate 62 says, I think, I don't think Gate 23 says, I know. I don't know. Gate 56 says, I believe, or I don't believe. Gate 35 says, I feel unusually like a change. Gate 12 says, I know I can try.

If I'm in the mood Gate 45 says I have or I don't have Gate 33 says I remember, or I don't remember. Gate eight says, I know I can make a contribution or not. Gate 31 says I lead or not. Gate 20 says, I am now or not, and Gate 16 says, I experiment or not. So understanding what you have defined in the chart can help you understand some of the voices and what you'll hear yourself say, whether you have a defined or undefined or open throughout center.

. Pay attention to what you hear yourself saying. So if you have Gait 62 defined, you may hear yourself saying, I think a lot, or I don't think, and know that that is the voice of the throat center that you were speaking with because that is the defined energy in the Throat center that is consistent for you.

Okay? So the Open Throat Center represents about 28% of the population. These are people who. Often struggle to be heard. So these are people who may have an open or an undefined throat center, so some of those hanging gates off of the throat, or it can be completely open, which is pretty rare. When it is open, you are kind of amplifying other people's voices.

And there's an element that you really need to be invited to speak. So if you are in a crowd of people with an open throat center or undefined throat center and you try and speak up and talk, you may find that people don't hear you. You feel like you're talking into the void and nothing is being heard.

But then just a minute later, somebody will speak up with the same thing that you said and take credit for it. The funny thing is, is that usually they don't even know that they've done it. It's like it's filtering into their brain from you. They're hearing it, but they're not acknowledging it in the same way as somebody who has a motorized throat, which means a throat center connected to a motor center, which gives it more power and energy or even a defined throat center which has more consistency.

and so it can be really frustrating and really, Overwhelming. And you know, we can even see projectors who feel bitter because their ideas are being taken or they're speaking up and nobody's hearing them, and then somebody else gets credit for what they said.

So it's important if you have an open throat center to wait to be invited to share, to make sure you're in the right place. When you are sharing that, people are acknowledging you before you just start speaking up, especially if you have something valuable to share. And you want credit for it. If you speak up and nobody has acknowledged you, or asked your opinion, or asked your ideas, you know, it's very likely that that idea might be inadvertently filtered into their mind and thought to be their own idea.

And it's not even a conscious thing. Usually people don't even know that they're doing this. but it can be very hard and very hurtful to the person with the open throat to feel this way. and it can lead to bitterness and frustration and resentment. So the other thing to know about the person with the Open Throat Center is that in kids especially, you may find that the person, the child with the open throat center is the one making a lot of noise.

They are the class clown or the kid who's acting out at dinner because they want attention and. You know, contrary to what we tend to think and believe is that bad behavior shouldn't be rewarded. You know, it's kind of one of those sayings that you hear is that the child who is acting out in this way is acting out because nobody is hearing them.

They're not feeling heard and seen, and so what can we do to make them feel more heard and seen? We can give them more time. We can give them the invitation to speak and share. You know, what does it look like to go around the table and say, how was your day today? And let everybody have a chance to be heard and not talk over one another.

You know, that's another thing that we'll see with the open throat is people talking over one another because they're just trying so desperately to be heard because nobody ever hears them that they get louder and louder. And they interrupt. They speak over one another because they feel like if they don't do that, nobody is ever gonna give them the chance to be heard or to speak.

So we can help facilitate that by inviting them to share, inviting them to share their ideas or their thoughts or their feelings, and their insights. And if you have an open throat center yourself. Take care to make sure that you have that invitation or you have the attention before you start speaking so that you don't end up with that bitterness or resentment for not feeling heard.

Okay, so the defined throat center is about 72% of the population, and these can be people who have just a defined throat center that's connected to the head or the spleen or the G center, or it can be connected to the motor centers. And if it's connected to the motor centers, then we have somebody who is either a manifester or a manifesting generator, and their voice is going to be more powerful.

Like I talked about in the energy type recordings, the manifester has that aura that's really big and powerful, and the manifesting generator can speak up and be very powerful as well. So with that motor energy to the throat, it creates a lot of power, a lot of attention. A lot of command. And so, you know, you can have two people that walk up to a counter or try and flag down The wait staff and the person who has a defined throat is going to get attention easier than the person with an undefined throat.

But the person who has a motorized defined throat is going to command attention a lot easier than the other two Even. It can be really frustrating to be one of those people who has either the undefined or the non-motorized throat sitting next to somebody who has a motorized throat and you're trying and trying to get attention and nobody's paying any attention to you.

And then all they do is say, excuse me, and everything stops, and the attention comes to them. So you know that this is energetics. This is nothing personal. It doesn't mean anything about you. If you have a open or undefined throat or a non-motorized throat, that doesn't get as much attention. It's nothing.

There's nothing wrong with you. There's nothing that's saying you need to be ignored. It's just that the energetics at play are different, and that motorized energy to the throat really commands a lot of attention. So if you are somebody who has a motorized throat, please be aware that you have the ability to command a lot of attention.

And remember that, you know, there's a fair amount of the population who doesn't have that. And giving others the opportunity to speak can be really, caring and really beneficial to everyone to allow them to have a voice and to allow them to be heard. if you are a parent with a motorized throat center or a defined throat center and your child does not have a motorized or defined throat center, you may be overpowering them all the time.

They may feel like they never have a chance to speak, and so seeing these energetics at play in the chart can help you to understand why a child might be acting out more, why they might be interrupting all the time when you're talking. And you know, the way that you can navigate this is to give them more time to speak.

And in fact, if we have a child who doesn't feel like they get enough time to speak, that throat center builds pressure during the day when it is undefined or open. And it builds and builds and builds. And by the end of the day, if they haven't had a proper opportunity to share, you will see that all come out like at bedtime.

They will be the child who you put into bed and you think you're gonna have a, an hour to yourself or whatever afterwards, and they talk and talk and talk and talk, and it's one more thing, one more thing, one more thing. And you may get frustrated by this. So the way to, to mitigate this is to give them that air time earlier in the day to let them speak, to give them that place to be heard and to share and to talk about what's important to them.

So that when you do get to bedtime, they have released all of that throat energy and can actually wind down to go to sleep. And then you get your time at the end of the, at the end of the day as well.
