When we open up and activate our heart chakra with daily love based intentional practices, this directly accesses - soul. When our soul is free to rise in the body, this then leads to the opening of our mouth - via the throat (the voice). This activates the back of the neck - what I call 'the spiritual gateway chakra'.
Once the spiritual gateway activates it then sends an energetic signal to our pineal gland and pituitary gland - forming a pyramid or light within the brain that joins up with the back of the neck. Furthermore, an energetic DIAMOND LIGHT is also formed between the charged up pineal and pituitary glands, the spiritual gateway and the heart
THE SPIRITUAL GATEWAY CHAKRA
The chakra point you have just located acts as an energetic doorway through which we communicate spiritually with other dimensions. It has been called the 'Alta Major' Chakra and the ancient Egyptian cultures identified this energy centre with the 'Atlas' bone - the gateway through which you can access higher dimensions of consciousness. Some people also call it ‘The Zeal Chakra’

Some people also call it ‘The Zeal Chakra’
WAYS TO ASSIST WITH THE ACTIVATION OF THE SPIRITUAL GATEWAY :
- Be keenly aware of using good posture at all times. Tuck your chin slightly in and lengthen the back of your neck.
- Breathe deeply in and out of the belly.
- Open your chest (and heart centre) by rolling back the shoulders.
- Walk with an 'active foot' - meaning push though the entire length of your foot when walking and leave the heel down slightly before stepping off - this naturally opens up the back of your legs and spine and encourages your arms to swing naturally back and forth when walking.
- Massage over the atlas bone each day with a sacred anointing oil of your choice. I also suggest that you massage over the heart centre, throat and third eye, as well. See all of these energy centres linking up in a golden pyramid of light.
Do you ever get a sore or stiff neck? Does the top of your neck crack or ache when you've been stuck in one frame of mind for way too long? Right now, take your index fingers and your thumbs. Place your thumbs against the back of your neck and press your index fingers in right at the base of your skull. Does it hurt when you do this? Can you feel pressure being relieved throughout your entire body and energy system - right down to your toes?

My personal practice for activating the back of the neck, both the chakra, the portal/wisdom, and release of tension/trauma/stress:
"From time immemorial, our ancient ancestors held great reverence and respect for our eternal, life-giving star - The Sun. The Sun wakes us each day and tells us when to sleep. The Sun warms us and gives us light, as much as it energises and holds us at it's cosmic mercy. The Sun is larger than a million Earth's - just imagine - it is that HUGE. Such a cosmic heavy weight pulls the strings in our local solar system. The Sun is the ruler and the golden white, fiery orb that we are locked into, acting as our gigantic cosmic mother/father energy.
Not a moment of each day goes by when we're not reliant upon The Sun. Yet, how often do you consider this? Is the Sun something that just gives you warmth or are you prepared to lift the lid on how much of an impact the Sun truly has upon your human life, your daily living, Earth activity and the evolution and consciousness of our souls?"

- Daily or weekly sun/UV-gazing of the back neck area
- Tapping the back of the neck and the back of the head, either gently with your fingers or full on with your hand cupped
- Rubbing in the neck or spraying it with essential oils in oil, or a natural spray of something that appeals to you, this could be frankinscence dissolved in water or rosewater, "moon water" (full or other moon infused water), crystal activated water, pure water (kangan water), etc.....

Cerebellum Chakra
The Cerebellum Chakra is located at the back of the neck just where your neck and head meet. This Chakra is known as the “well of dreams” and is said to help you access hidden realms, creative ideas and your soul contract. When this energy center is strong, it manifests as feeling in touch and inspired by your dreams and even prophetic dreaming. It can also help you to see things for what they are, without allowing judgements of the mind to interfere. When out of balance, this energy center can manifest as clouded judgement, always seeing the negative side of things and an inability to tap into your intuitive voice.

A sore neck is the result of a congested Throat (5th) Chakra. This energy centre includes our Thyroid Gland, voice, ears/ hearing, neck and throat. It responds well to sound healing, creative expression, a moderate lifestyle and the colour blue.
It shuts down with criticism, overwork and too much processed foods (especially if they’re ingested quickly – I include too many smoothies in this category!) Anything that overrides your human need for calm, objectivity and silence closes your Throat Chakra.
At any point in time, your chakras can be overactive, underactive or balanced. Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine and Caroline Myss’s Anatomy of the Spirit are good textbooks if you want to know more.
An overactive Throat Chakra manifests as talking, gossip or busy-ness without productivity. You’ll find these people addicted to something, be it coffee, sugar, crises or the need for speed and drama. It can be hard for them to relax or to sleep. They’ve forgotten that we’re human be-ings, not human do-ings. FOMO is very intense. Someone with Karmic 14/5 numerology or strong 5 numerology may be more prone to this habit.
An underactive Throat Chakra is linked to stuck feelings, censored truths, speech impediments and stagnation. People with an underactive Throat Chakra may get sore throats*, tonsillitis, feel tired and cough or sigh a lot, which is a sign their words are stuck (I find that a good yell, cry or groan can shift this block – try it in the car or in nature, for privacy…writing down all your worries on paper then shredding or burning them can also help).
They may feel cold, sluggish, overworked and under-appreciated. Like it is never ‘their turn’/ the world is against them. They have forgotten that Spirit is voice-activated, and until we ask with gusto, we don’t receive.
*For me, the spiritual meaning of a sore throat is ‘too much sawing sawdust’, i.e. going over what could have been, instead of allowing yourself to be human and to take new risks.
Ideally, we have a balanced Throat Chakra, whereby we say what we mean, mean what we say but don’t say it mean (an Al-Anon saying). We listen equally to our inner voice and other people. We’re committed to learning, open-minded and excited by the unknown. Our voices sound musical and mellow rather than hoarse or timid. The words INTUITION and PARENTING add to 50/5 in numerology, as both require balance and sensitivity. Our Inner-tuition or inner teacher is about trusting our experience at least as much as what other people tell us.
The word SNAKE has a 5 vibration, which makes sense, as it’s a creature known for its flexibility – the number 5 even looks like a serpent. It’s beneficial for people with 5 lifepaths or 5s in name numerology, etc. to protect their Throat Chakras, as this is the part they’re healing this lifetime. Find your lifepath. If you’re in a 5 Personal Year or Month, it’s also wise to look after your Throat Chakra. Find your personal year.
FYI – 2021 is a 5 Universal Year of Throat Chakra Healing for all of us, and some people are already feeling it in their necks – see my 2020 Numerology Forecast for this year’s Heart Chakra-based tips.
5 Spiritual Causes of a Stiff Neck
1) Inflexibility
Physical stiffness can reflect mental rigidity. Where have you created a bottleneck? Maybe it’s time to ask for help. The opposite of war isn’t peace, it’s creativity. See both sides by healing the the con-neck-tion between your head and heart/ inner male and female/ Yin and Yang.
2) Watching instead of living
Too much screen time, poor office setups and sitting create hip and neck tension. Try yoga, dance and meditation. Use a foam roller or ball on the trigger points in your neck.Garden, play with children and animals. Cover the clocks. Walk more, worry less.
3) Anger and resentment
You can be right or you can be happy. Look up the Liver in Traditional Chinese Medicine (it holds frustration vs happiness). It loves exercise, laughter and acupuncture. I find a sore neck linked to judgement of others, especially addicts (alcohol, etc.) Just remember, over-thinkers attract over-drinkers. We’re all learning balance.
4) A diet of negative energy
Lots of sugary, salty and fried foods can cause inflammation. Eat more home-cooked soups, broths and organic produce to calm your throat. Use music or chanting to neutralise that inner critic (aka, your unemployed genius side). Drink tea, slowly. Detox your feelings, turn off the news and reduce your exposure to bullies. I love Jonathon Goldman’s music on Youtube and have also made a sacred music playlist (updated 2020)
5) Something else!
Other reasons for a stiff neck could be as simple as the wrong pillow/ mattress, or as complex as past life injury or needing to forgive a parent for being a ‘pain in the neck’. Telling the whole truth will set you(r neck) free. It’s time to speak up with love. Having a reading can clear your blocks very quickly, as we directly contact your Soul for messages and next steps.
The neck and hips/ lower back are linked to being told what to do and who you can have a sexual, financial or spiritual relationship with – see this post on the Old Way vs the 11:11 Way. Instead of letting people force feed you their outdated beliefs, express your wild side and disrupt the status quo.
As the site of the inner & outer voice, your neck reflects your relationship to truth. Perhaps it’s time for you to be more courageous. After all, your Soul came here to fly, not to crawl!

The back of the neck is an important sacred vortex of energy in your body. It’s often known as the 4 1/2 chakra or alta major chakra.
A highly sensitive portal of energy with heightened awareness. A clever little antenna alerting you to disturbed energies, untruths and toxic influences (think hairs on the back of your neck).
It’s also considered an entry point for psychic attacks. Even more reason to keep it clear, strong and healthy.
It’s also worth mentioning, many of us have a hyper-sensitive alta major chakra. I certainly do. Big reason why I wear a scarf around often and anoint the back of my neck with an oil most days.
Strengthening rituals:Tune into your alta major chakra by placing your left hand gently over the base of your skull, upper neck area. And your right palm over your third eye. Feel into her. Sense. Listen. Witness her truth. Is your alta major chakra strong/stable, fragile/vulnerable, numb or somewhere in-between?
Help keep your alta major chakra clear, strong and healthy with following options.

Help keep your alta major chakra clear, strong and healthy with following options.
- Rub one drop of the essential oil vetiver, juniper or sandalwood into the back of your neck. Rub in a spiral motion, starting small and gradually increasing to the whole back of your neck. I personally do this most days.
- Wrap your neck in a scarf.
- Wear sandalwood mala beads
- Rub a piece of black tourmaline, in a circular motion, into the back of your neck for a few minutes before going to sleep at night. You can even pop it under your pillow. Black tourmaline offers a powerful protective shield. Great for psychic attacks.
- Sun the back of your neck
