​Hi y'all, I'm a big skeptic when it comes to spiritual ideas but I have have been going through intense experiences I really can't deny and try to keep an open mind.

​I've practiced meditation on and off over the years. For awhile now I've had a lot of trouble getting into meditative states because of a painful lump in my throat that arises early in my meditation. I always thought this was just my throat drying out from deep breaths but I recently had the idea that it could be related to chakras. The pain only begins when I get into a meditative state and goes away a little while after.

​I tried a guided meditation for throat chakra connection yesterday and the pain became so unbearable that I had to stop the meditation within 10 minutes. I've read what the throat chakra is generally thought to be related to and I have struggled a lot throughout my life feeling safe to express my truth.

​Any advice on ways to start working with this? I don't have the funds to pay a teacher and wouldn't know how to find someone who could actually help me or not, but I just don't see how much luck I'm going to have with random YouTube videos.

​Thanks for reading :)
