Clear Your Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is the fifth in the 7-Chakra system. It is located in the middle of the throat. In Sanskrit it is called, “Vishuddha,” meaning “Pure.” Its color is TURQUOISE or BLUE. The element is Ether. The Throat Chakra is connected physically to the thyroid, parathyroid, throat, mouth, neck, and shoulders. This chakra is connected to the sense of hearing and to speech. The primary qualities include communication, self-expression, Universal truth, purification, responsibility, will, and creative expression.

When this chakra is open and balanced, you are able to communicate clearly, ask for what you want, make decisions with ease, and speak your Truth. You experience confidence, courage, and fearlessness. An open Throat Chakra means you are aware of the world around you and can tune in to what other people feel. When properly balanced, you can remain detached and objective, while engaging in a caring and meaningful way. Guided by Spirit, you speak with authority and teach through example. With a strong and balanced Throat Chakra, you can manifest your true desires.

A closed or unbalanced chakra can result in communication problems and the inability to express emotions. Someone may be unable to speak the truth, even if they want to. It can create depression, criticism, perfectionism, fear, doubt, pride, and indecision. Physically, it can create thyroid problems, sore throats, stiff necks, and hearing difficulty. Often people who are stressed, unable to relax, or those who withdrawal from life have an unbalanced Throat Chakra.

Crystals that work well with the Throat Chakra include Turquoise, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Lace Agate, Sodalite, Sapphire, Kyanite, Celestite, and Blue Topaz.

The Throat Chakra can also be balanced by chanting mantras. Mantras are sound waves. They calm and focus the mind, clear subconscious fears and negative programming, and raise our vibrational frequency. By chanting mantras, you can change old habits, reprogram your mind and body, and manifest goals. Practice chanting “Sat Nam,” (as in “But Mom”) which aligns you with your own and Universal truth.

AFFIRMATION: “I fearlessly express my Truth.”
