Year Five - 2011

Communication
This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language.
About this year: 

Throughout S(t)even Years I’ve been surprised at what I’ve suspected a year to be like isn’t necessarily reality. During this, my communication year, I thought I’d public speak more or talk more. Within 3 months, I had been on the radio 3 times. I saw this as being connected to this project and “communication.”

What I’m noticing is that I’m drawn to more inward communication. I feel more attune to myself, my feelings, my emotions, and my artistic impulses. In April, I wrote in my journal about a desire to be more with myself and less with crowds and others. This is not what I thought I’d be feeling/desiring for this year but this is what has come up.

I also discovered Byron Katie’s The Work. After doing inquiry, I keep coming back to myself. I’ve deepened my communication/relationship with myself.
