Censorship, the Throat Chakra & Speaking Your Truth in a Silenced World

Send us a text

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the rising wave of censorship in media, journalism, and social platforms — and how it connects to something much bigger: the spiritual attack on the throat chakra.

The throat chakra is the energetic center of communication, authenticity, and truth. When it’s blocked, we fear speaking up, we self-censor, and we lose connection to our higher wisdom — the third eye and crown chakras. This is exactly why systems of power benefit from silence.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What censorship really is and how it shows up in our daily lives.
  • The spiritual meaning of a blocked throat chakra.
  • Why speaking your truth is an act of empowerment and awakening.
  • Practical tools to heal and open your throat chakra.
  • How to reclaim your voice and stand in your power in a world that often tries to mute it.

If you’ve ever felt silenced, shadow-banned, or scared to speak your truth, this episode will give you both clarity and courage.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey everyone and welcome back to Real Talk with Isabel. I am Isabel. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for listening. You know, this whole conversation has taken me, this is the third time trying to record it. Third time. And but let's just like dive into it because today's episode, like all episodes, I always like to be in the spiritual in with like what's actually happening into the world. Because I do feel that everything can be looked at from some type of spiritual context. Not getting too crazy into it, but yeah. Um, and there's a lot happening in the world. So it's kind of like where do we really start? So today we're really going to talk about like all the censorship that's really happening in our world today, because I feel that this needs to be brought up. Like, what really is censorship? Why is it happening right now? And how it really ties into us in a much deeper way, like our throat chakra, our voice, our authenticity, our connection to the truth. Like it's all connected. And this really came about because I was walking my dog and I was thinking about like, I'll share that in this episode, but how I've been censored, and I was like, what is that? And then I was thinking about how many people come and their throat chakra is blocked because they're not expressing themselves and how their throat chakra is a connection to the higher, the higher chakras, your third eye, your crown chakra. So if your throat chakras blocked, you can't get to the higher chakras. But we'll come back to that. Right now in the media, there's so much censorship going on. We've seen Jimmy Fallon being censored, we've seen other journalists being censored, um, journalism is being blocked, voices are being silenced, like the way that our algorithm is being fed to us, like we're starting to not see so much of things that are actually happening in other parts of the world. And even in our own government, there's certain people that are wanting to speak out about people or things or just share their opinions, and they're being censored. And this raises even a bigger question as why? Why is it so important for systems of power to limit our voices? And what does that mean for us, like spiritually, energetically, and collectively? Censorship is when somebody is trying to control our speech, our communication, our the information that we are trying to share maybe challenges their authority or the narrative that they are wanting to spin. And that's the big one I think that's really happening right now is that when people are wanting to speak their truth, their opinions, the powers in the powers to be feel that it is questioning their authority, that it is not in agreement with the mainstream narrative that they're trying to create for us. But you know what the beautiful part about growth is? You can't ever go backwards. It's like you can try to make us go backwards, but we really can't ever go backwards. And this is a time, I think, when we really fully need to step into our own, our power, or each personal power. And there is things right now, like I said, there's that block, the block journalism, shadow banning is real. That's a form of censorship where you're maybe this the information that you are sharing on social media isn't quite being fed to the algorithm. Mine for sure. I have like 83,000 followers on TikTok, and I'm literally only getting 200 views on my videos when I used to get tons more. It doesn't matter how much I go live right now, it just doesn't seem like it's it's hitting like it used to. There is banned books that were happening as you know, early this year. Um, they're wanting to take books out. They want to change our history books. Like this is huge, you guys. Like they're trying to change the narrative and even our future for future generations. Um, yeah. You know, recently I was scrolling my own TikTok feed, and that's when I realized like this is, I mean, it is a big issue, but I had so many videos that were muted, meaning they took away the sound. They left the video up, but they took away the sound, and the sound was my own voice. So they muted my voice. They muted my personal opinion. And these weren't just like psychic spiritual videos. These were videos that some of them I was sharing about books that were why BIPOC authors, and they taught the real history of our of our nation. They're they're great books, not the history that was taught in history books, but books about deep diving into those things. Um, there were political ones where I did share my opinion, or maybe I called for unity. There were videos that I gave premonitions about what was going to happen in the world, and a lot of it has already happened. But I find it interesting that they're actually muting my premonition videos. Like, can we just think about that for a second? That is kind of crazy. Um, anyways, censorship's not a new thing. You know, this has been used for centuries just to control people. But today, in today's society, with like the feed of digital, like social media, the digital age, it's even more dangerous than it was before. Because through social media, through TVs, through our digital life, we're able to grow. We're able to have this information from other parts of the world, we're able to have knowledge. And because information is power, right? And the easiest way to keep people disempowered is to block their voice. If I block your voice, that's it. You don't have anything. So that brings us to the fact that the other perspective of this, the spiritual perspective of this, is censorship isn't just political. It's it's energetic. It's energetic. When you look at your body, if you guys don't know what chakras are, they are energy points within your body. I'm gonna keep it real simple. They're energy points within your body. Every chakra has a different meaning, a different way of expressing itself. And you start from the bottom up, so from the root to the crown. But if one chakra is blocked, it blocks the other ones above it. Okay, so the flow doesn't quite flow. You have what's called your throat chakra. This is a representation of your truth, of your communication, of your authentic expression. And it's often one that is blocked quite easily from our childhood. Maybe somebody told us to, you know, mind our business, or we're a child and don't speak, or we were told we don't know anything, whatever it is. But when we are blocked in our authenticity, our truth, and our expressions, we can't get to our higher chakras. Like we can't get to our third eye, which is in the between your brow bones or the crown chakra on the top of your head. The throat chakra is also a bridge between your heart, your heart chakra. So it's your heart, your throat, your third eye. And when your throat chakra is blocked, we doubt ourselves, we overthink, we overanalyze. We don't even bother to talk because we have talked ourselves out of our own words. We have talked ourselves out that it's not worthy. So we doubt ourselves, we silence our truth, we fear being rejected. What are people gonna think? What are we gonna say? And on a larger scale, if the whole society, if all of the world's throat chakra is blocked, nobody's gonna speak out. Nobody's gonna say anything anymore. And then control becomes easier. This is crazy, right? This is like such a crazy conversation. I can't believe that I'm literally having this conversation. So censorship is literally a spiritual tactic. If they can suppress your throat chakra, they can keep you from awakening your third eye and your crown. And your third eye is what helps you to see dreams, visions, seeing the higher truths, connecting to divine wisdom on your crown, source God. Right? So you're accessing your sovereignty or accessing sovereignty, however you want to say it. I remember there's there's often times too, you know, when your throat is like you might go often, or cough, or maybe it feels sore throats. These are all ways that like people tend to come where they're like, I feel the words, but I can't say the words. Um, there's many times in my life where I felt, especially like before the beginning of the spiritual journey, really for me, where I felt like I never truly expressed myself. I never truly expressed my words. And it was always like playing in the back of my mind. But when I really worked on opening up my throat chakra, I felt this lightness within my body. It was like everything was flowing. All of a sudden, it was like I was able to see the world differently, put the pieces together, understand things in a different way. I felt safer within myself. I felt lighter within myself. And now I this is look at me. I'm having a podcast. I on social media, I have no problem with stating what I have to say because of my connection to the divine. I feel like I have this clarity. And that's what it's like to have an open throat chakra. But the question is, is like, great, we can talk about this, but in reality, you might be wondering, why do they really want to block our voice? Like, why would they care about my voice, my individual voice? Like, why would they care about these minute little things that they're caring about? Because these minute little things that they're caring about affects each and every one of you individually. And speaking truth is contagious. Truth is contagious. Once one person speaks out, other people remember their power, right? We're speaking to each other, we're projecting to one another. That's why whistleblowers are silenced, why alternative viewpoints are mocked or censored, why spiritual voices are labeled as conspiracy. Like, don't believe that. That's just mumbo jumbo, right? Like, haha, we're gonna make fun of these things. Like today, today is October 3rd. I literally just got on threads and I was looking at this video that um Trump put out in regards to like it was like it was ridiculous. You're making fun of Democrats. And I was like, I can't believe they are mocking Democrats. Like, it doesn't matter if you're Republican, it doesn't matter if you're Democrats, but our president created a music video to mock Democrats. Like, that's insane. Anyways, back to the story. Truth awakens, it's it awakens something within you that is deeper than I don't think you really understand. Like it is connection to your ancestors, it awakens that deeper sense of knowing and knowledge within yourselves. The enemy of control is awareness. So if you have that awareness and you're able to be aware of everything happening in the world, like that is that's something that the enemy or the person that's trying to control can't take away. They can't they can't take it away. And the bridge, the bridge is your voice, right? Like you you have to have your voice. There, it's it's a whole manipulation tactic, honestly. We're just gonna leave it at that, okay? So if we're looking at like what can you do, right? Maybe you're like, what can I do to just in my own individuality open up and strengthen my own throat chakra? Meditate, meditate, okay. Whether it's guide, I don't care, guided meditations. I love to open up the throat chakra, a really good um meditation. Those are really good to open up your throat chakra. So that's that's chanting, journaling, write. You have to get whatever you have held within your throat. The words you haven't expressed have to come out. Doesn't mean you have to go give your anger or give all of these things to somebody else. You can write it out, journal your feelings, journal your emotions, pour it out, talk it out loud, voice note it, whatever you need to do. Speak affirmations to yourself, speak affirmations that you are worthy. And my truth, these this is my truth. I have, I embrace my truth, whatever it is you need to say. But use your voice daily in small ways, like maybe sharing your story, um, correcting when you feel like, oh, that doesn't feel right. I'm gonna, I'm gonna talk or say something to somebody. Stand up for yourself. Quit holding yourself back, stand up for yourself, quit worrying what other people are gonna think, or maybe this really doesn't make sense. I always say intuition isn't logical, right? So intuition isn't always gonna make sense, and your throat chakra is part of your intuition. So let's just feel what's right. I need you most importantly, with what's happening in our world to have discernment. And I say this because I have so many people that listen to my podcast and work with me from various ages and that I speak to. And honestly, I'm going to say it the older generation is not having discernment. They're not. So do your research, don't just take in the censored narratives right now. Seek alternative sources, ask questions, think critically. Like this is so important right now. Because when voices join together, censorship loses its grip. And we are a frequency, we are a collective. So if I'm speaking my truth and you're speaking a truth, and we keep all speaking our truth, that energy is going to build and build and build and build. Like this is a way that we can literally keep building that energy with one another. I know right now, you know, uh TikTok's probably gonna go away. I'm gonna say that. I I've said this where I I've never really said it's gonna go away, but I'm gonna say the TikTok as we know it, it's it's not gonna be there anymore. I just don't see it because of all the censorship that is actually happening and the buyout. So for me, you can find me on YouTube, which I think is gonna change as well, and Instagram, right? So I say that because make sure that you are always following your favorite creators in the places that they will be so that you can hear their voices. A lot of them are going to Substack that are journalists. That's a great way to find, you know, information out. Um, there people are trying to share what is happening in the world. Like I was somewhere, I don't know what it was, what app, but I was like, oh my gosh, like I didn't even know there was like protests going on and there's things happening in our world. So, anyhow, we're gonna leave it at that. I know I'm you might be like, this is a lot. This is a lot for me. Like, I'm uncomfortable in expressing myself. I don't know how to express myself. I want to say that's okay. That's okay. Think about however old you are, and that's how long you have been living in the narrative that you are living at with not expressing yourself. And that's absolutely okay. Be graceful to yourself, be compassionate to yourself, give yourself baby steps. And honestly, if you need me, this is this is the coaching that I do. This is where I get to hold your hand in it and help you intuitively guide you with your spirit team on how to open this area of yourself up so that you can be the most authentic version of you with that courage and with that strength, because I know what it is. And I understand I'm talking about that families may change, relationships may change when you truly speak your authenticity. But think about this. How amazing would it be to wake up every day as your full self, as fully who you are? You don't think about how many masks you actually wear in a day, but you wear so many masks. But what if you didn't have to wear any mask? What if you could just be you? Isn't that the most like lightest feeling you can feel? Yeah, you're right. You might you might lose followers, you may be understood, you may feel exposed. But the energy of now, this collective awakening, awakening demands that we use our voice. There's no, if you're not vulnerable, there's no growth. I hate to say it, but it's true. We we live in this way of like, I'm comfortable, this is comfort, I don't want to, you know, tip the can, but it's like, no, tip that can and watch what comes out. There might be this magical rainbow on the other side. Most likely there is. I'm gonna say that. Doesn't always come all at once, but it's there. In regards to your chakras, if you want to dive deeper in that, hit me up, let me know. But there's tons of videos out there. Um, the throat chakra primarily prepares us to open up our third eye right between your brow bones. The brow, the the third eye is a place of your truth. Yes, it's it's your visions, it's your dreams, but it's a place of truth, it's a place of clarity. And the top of your head, which is the crown chakra, right? This is where we connect with God, source, the universe. You can imagine like this big ball of light that just uh right above you just comes pouring down through your crown chakra. And if the throat is blocked, we never really truly can reach that higher wisdom. You may, you might. Don't say, I'm not gonna say you're not, but it's almost like it's like muted, like it's a muted version. So the more open we are in all these areas, the more connected we are to this higher wisdom. This is why spiritually, this battle over censorship is so much bigger than politics. It's honestly about keeping humanity from ascending. That's like that is mind blown. So if you think these political people do not understand what they are doing, you are a hundred percent wrong. You are wrong. Look at media, like look at entertainment, look at celebrities. Like, can you guys not see everything is spiritually, spiritually there? They know what they're doing. Your voice is sacred, it is yours, it's uniquely yours. It is sacred, it's a sacred gift from God. It carries vibration, frequency, and power. And every time you speak truth, you shift timelines. Every time you speak truth, you shift timelines, not just yours for yourself, but for the collective. Because we are collectively this beautiful, amazing energy. So I leave you with this. Be mindful of where censorship shows up, both outside and within, like where you are censoring yourself. Notice when you silence yourself and ask, whose voice am I protecting and whose truth am I denying? Am I denying my own truth? Because when you open up and and this person opens up and that person's open up, like I said, it's a domino effect. It's a ripple effect. We need each other's voices now more than ever to speak, to question, to sing, to share stories, to teach, to hold space for truth. Because when your throat chakra is clear, your third eye opens. When your third eye opens, you see the truth. And when you see the truth, no amount of censorship can stop the awakening that follows. Okay. I could go on and on and on about this. I really can. You can tell, like for me, I really had to fight to be where I am today because I had to know how to like people are like, How do you just speak? Because I've learned to trust myself, to listen to myself, to acknowledge myself. And that's the same that each and every one of you can do. Your intuition is your guide, it's your inner compass. Your throat is part of that. That's all I have to say. I hope that you guys share this podcast with somebody that you think that needs to hear it. Like, post it on your social media. Honestly, like I think, and I and I don't say this, you guys have listened to other podcast episodes. I never really say this, but I I really feel passionate about this episode and it just needing to be heard. So hopefully this helps you. Um, make sure you guys, you know, leave a review from the podcast, please, because it definitely helps gives the ratings. Make sure you like, you subscribe on whatever platform you are, you notify, you follow. This all helps, helps so help out. And um, again, make sure you follow your favorite content creators everywhere. You can find me on YouTube, Instagram, I have a Patreon community. Um, yeah. And I will talk to you guys later.
