The Throat Center is the most complex and connected Center in the bodygraph. It expresses information from all the other Centers. The Throat has eleven Voices, each of which represents the energetics and the tone of how communications take place.

The Throat represents the transition between your personal, inner world and how you reveal who you are to others. Thus, it is the threshold between your closely held personal truth, with all its meaning and significance to you, and how you can earn trust, build rapport, find timing and tact – and learn from others.

The Throat Center also marks the transition between who you have been and who you will become. In other words, you will apply your internal resources to the challenges, dilemmas and potential joys of the outer world. Ultimately, the Throat Center is how you take action to fulfill your life work, to collaborate and learn.

It is important to know that the Throat has no strategy, opinions, or agenda of its own, but ironically, this Center is where your true Strategy becomes ever more necessary.

What we say emerges from deeper within, from the Centers operating through the deeper aspects of our body-mind matrix. There is a systematic progression from these deeper resources to outside expression in the Throat. Becoming aware of the felt sense of each of these steps is the process that will transform your life through the alchemical process of communication and catharsis.

The Throat Center puts you right up against the outer world, and your Personal Authority can select best the timing for what you say and do. You can align with this discernment, or you can work at cross purposes to it. The first purpose of Strategy is to go inward to investigate how your Authority works and learns to cooperate with its energetics. The second action is to refine how you express your Authority in the world.

As you express yourself, you encounter a very real kind of trial and error learning. You can see the mistakes you are making and learn from the results. As uncomfortable as this process can be, this is called refining your Strategy to align with your own best timing, honesty and tact. Said in another way, you can learn how to bring your Authority ever closer to the outer world.

Delving into what we say, especially while considering timing and tact, takes us back to the tender times when we first learned how to speak. How did we find space to express ourselves in the flow of conversation? To fit a word in edgewise? In those moments, we were entering a life-long process. How do I fit in, get attention, and be heard? Is anyone listening? Those were fraught moments. With Strategy, we take up that process again to find healing and empowerment.

In everyday life, people often give their opinions, voice their own likes and dislikes, and perhaps that is the end of it. On a deeper level, your personal sense of truth and your sincerity both seek genuine contact, where you can hear each other, learn and form a bond.

At first, we might seek out similarity, but soon we discover how diverse we are. If you observe closely, on a very subtle level, we gain and lose rapport several times in each conversation. With time, we learn to navigate this process, almost like breathing, to maintain contact and to share on deeper levels.

The Throat not only speaks, it can listen, but cannot do both at the same time. Deep Listening is the most powerful means of earning trust and building rapport. It makes speaking much more effective to know who you are speaking to. Often, we need to learn to set ourselves aside at first because we are each anxious to speak and be heard. It’s a balance.

As a further complication, some people have listened far too often, while others speak automatically. Even so, deep listening can feel like a revelation. For others, speaking can evoke the same wonder. All of this is the art of conversation.

In spite of our increasing need for closeness and mutual understanding, sometimes it is necessary to disrupt the status quo, or even set others on edge for our authentic voice to be heard. We are at a critical turning point in the development of our species, where honest communication is becoming ever more possible yet also essential.

Being able to take risks by speaking our truth, while also rebuilding rapport in the next moments, is a skill that is becoming ever more urgent every day. The Throat Center brings us to the threshold of these risks, but the rewards are immeasurable.
