From Inner Critic to Inner Wisdom:
Heal & Awaken the Throat Chakra
Starting October 9, 2024
“You can’t say that. No one will listen.” (Is that really true?)
We all have an Inner Critic, a voice that judges, silences, and questions our worth. It’s a part of us that, while trying to protect us from harm, ends up keeping us small, fearful, and disconnected from our authentic truth.
What you say – and don’t say – matters.
When our Inner Critic dominates it stifles the flow of truth and creativity. This way of relating to ourselves creates a cycle of suffering, silencing instead of awakening us to realize, embody, and express our gifts.
Positive “thinking” isn’t the solution.
Simply telling ourselves to “think positively” or “speak kindly” can lead to spiritual bypassing avoiding the real wounds that need healing. Spiritual bypassing is when we use spiritual practices or ideas to bypass painful emotions, uncomfortable truths, or unresolved patterns.
Spiritual bypassing is a form of self-silencing.
It cuts us off from the authentic power of the Throat Chakra, fragmenting our voice and diminishing our ability to speak with clarity, honesty, and wisdom. When we bypass the deeper work of facing our inner wounds, we lose touch with the full expression of who we are – both the light and the shadow.
Instead of bypassing the difficult truths, let’s heal and awaken the Throat Chakra.
Awakening the throat chakra isn’t about always speaking positively or hiding behind words that feel “safe.” It’s about cultivating the courage to speak from the fullness of your being—embracing both the clarity of your inner wisdom and the vulnerability of your wounds.
Turn toward the places you’ve silenced.
These “places” live not just in your mind but in the subtle somatic body – specifically at the level of the Throat Chakra. They are the stored energies of unexpressed truths, withheld emotions, and unsaid words. By turning towards these subtle, energetic blockages, we free our voice to express the strength and depth of our inner wisdom.
It’s not just personal.
When the Inner Critic remains unhealed, it not only distorts how we speak to ourselves but also how we communicate with others. Its harsh judgments and unspoken fears create barriers in relationships, leading to misunderstandings, defensiveness, and disconnection.Â
We need this more than ever.
By dissolving the grip of the Inner Critic and awakening the Throat Chakra, we open ourselves to honest, compassionate communication. Inner healing creates the foundation for interpersonal healing, allowing us to meet others with clarity, kindness, and authenticity.
“There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.”
– Rumi
Move from Words to Sacred Silence.
Beyond words, there is a deeper form of expression. Sacred Silence. This silence is not empty, but alive with the presence of your Inner Wisdom. It is within this silence that the true voice of healing emerges. When we stop the constant stream of the Inner Critic’s judgments and rest in Sacred Silence, we make space for the voice of Inner Wisdom to be heard.
This is where deep healing of the Inner Critic unfolds.
In the stillness of Sacred Silence we touch a deeper truth, one that doesn’t need to defend, explain, or justify. Here, the Inner Critic dissolves, replaced by the compassionate and wise voice of the soul.Â
This contact with your Inner Wisdom is the ultimate healing, allowing you to express yourself with freedom, clarity, and love.
A healed throat chakra transforms darkness into light.Â
Not by forcing ourselves to “speak positively,” but by reclaiming the sacredness of our voice and its ability to express the deepest truths of the soul.Â
Awakening the throat chakra allows you to:
- Reconnect with the power of your voice – both spoken and unspoken.
- Release the grip of the Inner Critic and embody/express the wisdom that heals.
- Communicate your boundaries with strength and grace.
- Express your creativity and authenticity without fear of judgment.
- Rest in Sacred Silence, where Inner Wisdom speaks, heals, and guides.
Healing and awakening the Throat Chakra clears the way to speak your truth—not just for the sake of being heard, but to reveal how your voice is an instrument of healing and transformation.

Heal & Awaken the Throat Chakra
With this Chakra School program, we extend an invitation to explore the wisdom depths of your Throat Chakra.
While many are familiar with the concept of chakras, our program delves into the transformative practices that embody and activate these energy centers.Â
This isn’t Chakra Lite
Through the Chakra School curriculum you will learn how to:
- Consciously release the blocks in the subtle body that suppress your voice.
- Infuse truth and prana – life energy – into the parts of your being that have been silenced.
- Harmonize the flow of Life Energy and communication through your body and mind.
- Balance and circulate subtle currents through the nervous system, refining and purifying your ability to express truth with clarity and wisdom.
- Deepen your meditation to experience the infinite stillness and the wisdom that arises from Sacred Silence.
- Embody and express your voice with strength, authenticity, and Inner Wisdom in your daily life.
Chakra School offers you practices and principles that directly engage with the subtle body – harmonizing the flow of energy, dissolving obstacles, and deepening your ever-present awareness of the Divine.
This Chakra School program is sourced in the Kriya Yoga tradition.
Kriya Yoga is an ancient system for:
- Realizing spiritual awakening in this life.
- Integrating that awakening into the nitty-gritty of how you love, live, and serve.
The Kriya sages explored the creative potential of human embodiment in depth.
They experienced the subtle anatomy of embodied consciousness to be a metaphysical “tree of life” containing chakras or cerebrospinal centers of energy and information.
- Each chakra stores and transmits energy and information.
- But when the knots of the heart are “knotty,” the energy and information get tangled up.
Parmahansa Yogananda brought Kriya Yoga to the West over 100 years ago.
And the lineage continues. We’re the third generation of Western-born lineage holders to offer the esoteric teachings and methods of Kriya Yoga.Â
These practices work directly with the subtle body – the chakras and the channels – to clear obstructions, untangle energetic knots, and cultivate a flow of healing grace.

is the sacred goal of the yogi.”
-- – Paramahansa Yogananda
Autobiography of a Yogi
Participants say . . .Â
“My meditation used to feel separate from my life.  Now, through studies at Wisdom Heart my practices, my relationships, my work and my sleep are all facets of the same shining experience of gently awakening, moment by moment. These teachings are elegant, complete, and utterly transformational. I'm so grateful."
– Michele Christensen
Seattle, Washington
“I am new to Kriya Yoga and was concerned that not having the “yoga” language might make it difficult for me to comprehend the teachings and practices. But what I found was that the teachings are presented in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to everyday life.Â
What I love most about Wisdom Heart is Eric’s ability to masterfully share his extensive wisdom of Kriya Yoga and a wide range of other disciplines, in a way that wakes me up to my true inner self. Eric is real, kind, compassionate and has a great sense of humor!”
– Martina MacLean
Halifax, Nova Scotia
 “I've studied Kriya Yoga for 30 years, so I'm very familiar with these teachings.
But something about the Wisdom Heart approach makes everything new and inspires me to go deeper."
– Bruce Symonds
Frankfort, Michigan
“I’m still surprised at the depth of connection that we have. I’ve participated with a local meditation group but I never felt community as I do with this group which is online. It’s strange and unexpected and wonderful.
It’s amazing to connect with like-minded people from all over the world. Some are in Europe, others are on the same continent as me but 3,000 miles away. It doesn’t matter - we have an actual community. For me this has been a huge value.
It is a safe and supportive environment. I don’t understand why. It just is and that has allowed me to not hold back (something I tend to do) and go really deep.
It has been a really important experience being part of the community over and above the teachings which are amazing.”
– Jean Van Bonn
 Arcata, California
“I was surprised by the personal attention Eric gives each and every member of the class. The live calls and the group forum have led to what I believe will be lifelong friendships with people interested in living life mindfully and in sending love and caring into the world at a time when it’s most desperately needed.”
– Georgia Williams
   Sacramento, California
“Being in Europe, while far away, I feel so close. There really is no distance. The content is so beautiful. The richness of your teachings is infinite.
There is openness, humanness, down-to-earth, and deep knowing.Â
I love the community and participants. The depth of sharing is so touching and connecting. You attract wonderful people and join them together.
These teachings contain and embrace our whole life. I don’t have to abandon what I’ve learned in other practices or programs; what you teach enriches and deepens what came before.”
