This piece represents when you’re at a time in love and life when you feel as though you are self - conscious and you cannot be your true self out of fear of judgement from loved ones and peers. When you are remaining silent despite all feelings of desired expression, you are faced with forbidden expression. Such behavior is at your detriment and self inflicted pain subconsciously builds. When you decide to use your throat chakra , simply speaking up in situations where you fear it the most, this is a time when you can undo most of the damage. This is "Withheld Release" .
