Throat Center: Coughing

When you concentrate on the mid-point between your nipples, the

power pushes up to the throat chakra. Many practitioners develop

a cough when the power gets stuck, as it were, in pushing up from

the chest and into the throat chakra. Some may even cough up

dark sticky mucous at this time. Cleansing this point can help the

power flow considerably. By the time it pushes up from the throat

to the tongue you will feel calm and less worried. This does not

mean that you will never have any worries or anxiety but it does

indicate that you will feel more calm and will be able to sit and

meditate more easily.

Some Taoist books may seem to exaggerate the importance of

the chakras as power centers but what we are talking about here

is based on the actual experiences of many hundreds of students.
