I am going through the similar problem with my 5th chakra, but in my case it's the neck. Few days after I separated from my husband (about a year ago), severe neck pain showed up and it wouldn't leave me until now. I came to know the reason for my problem recently and started working on it - chanting, talking aloud etc. It's quite a coincidence that you mentioned about your childhood. I was a happy kid too and used to read the lessons that are audible for the entire class (about 60-70 kids). Nowadays, my manager can barely hear me when I talk in a meeting. I do feel that giving up voice isn't something anybody should do at any cost (love/respect or whatever reasons). After all, being a good girl is not worthy! Especially the negative feelings or emotions should be expressed. I still wonder to myself why am I not able to express things that are very natural. Even a dog barks when it's upset/angry/afraid. Well, there has to be a lesson for everybody to learn in a lifetime. I guess for people like me it is to express themselves. Thanks again for sharing and good luck!!!

Especially to me. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos hypothyroidism. I believe all illnesses manifest and are because of a spiritual root. As of Late my chakra associated with liver has become inflamed and it runs in my family. I'm currently trying to overcome family karma(as my uncles have weak livers from drugs and alcohol.) Our family karma also extends to repressed emotions, depression, and not speaking our truth. Life is a learning lesson and throughout when it comes down to it we choose,love or fear. I've chosen fear for so long and have been untrue to my inner child. It's time to stop rejecting what it is to be a woman and a strong one at that. Thank you again. I felt very connected to this piece. Mamaste Turtle Dove Very appealing story. Especially to me. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos hypothyroidism.

I know a lot of emotional things for me also affect me physically- a recent unpleasant event in my left my physically unable to eat or sleep for a period of time, for example. To overcome that silence is a tremendous feat. To overcome it and manage to do so in a way that continues to have the relationships prosper and grow is amazing. I still work on being stifled or expressed, especially with my current partner who I sometimes stifle by talking too much. <a href="everythingalright.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Everything Will Be Alright - A Journey Through Couples Therapy</a> That’s amazing progress.
