XL — The Throat Chakra
In the region of the neck, there is found the Throat Chakra. By its very nature, this Chakra bestows upon us the ability to speak and grants to us the allowance to communicate with other people of this world. The Throat Chakra allows us to express our deepest feelings of truth.
Truth can be elusive, hidden, and often we have to exercise the greatest of skills to uncover its true properties. The Throat Chakra is the first in the higher order of the Chakras, and, unlike the other Chakras, who express more physical, emotional, and spiritual energy, the Throat Chakra is more connected with the intellectual properties of the mind. This enables us to benefit from the Heart Chakra's skill in uncovering the truth in moments of obscurity and allows us to seek and find the right path towards our true destiny.
The Throat Chakra does not only bestow upon us the gift of expression in the life of truth, but it also bestows upon us the ability to listen to all possibilities and determine that which possesses the most truth and is most beneficial to ourselves in this life.
The colour of the Throat Chakra is blue like the vast heavens in the daytime and the mighty oceans resting beneath those heavens. There is light and truth in the colour blue, as it is a primary colour, unadulterated by any other colour. The colour blue conjures up a peaceful state of mind, content with the world and with the Universe. Sitting beneath a great blue sky is most propitious to the Throat Chakra, and the practice will help you answer questions begging truth. The inner voice of the Throat Chakra will speak to you of what is the truth and what is not. Here you will find a pure mind, unsullied by effects and neglects of life's modern struggle.
Eucalyptus, clove, and peppermint are some of the essential oils the Throat Chakra responds to when pressing questions need to be answered. Carry some of these oils around with throughout the day, and avail yourself of their aroma and this will aid in the acquisition of truth.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
