April 2026 | issue #6 Reader, for a very long while, most “alternative*” healers have told me i have a problem with my throat chakra *yes—you know i personally wouldn’t call them alternative, even though that’s what we’ve been taught to call them. they became “alternative” in a western context where everything must be western-science-backed, western-researched, peer-reviewed, peer-approved… all uprooted, diluted, and bleached of its original ancestral meaning. so my throat chakra was...
