THROAT CHAKRA : THE 7 CHAKRAS SERIES
Your Throat chakra is an energy center located at your voicebox.
This energy center, also called the fifth or Vishuddha chakra,
represents your ability to express yourself or speak your truth. It also relates to eloquence and communication.
THROAT CHAKRA IMBALANCES
Physical imbalances that can be an indication of an overly open fifth chakra are goiter or hypothyroidism.
Blockages will manifest as trouble swallowing, hyperthyroidism, and frequent sore throats.
Fifth chakra imbalances can also manifest purely energetically. People with overly open fifth chakras
will speak out of turn, interrupt frequently, and have a tendency to speak very loudly. Blockages will
be apparent in people who are very shy, speak very quietly, or have trouble speaking in public. If you
have a persistent catch in your throat, you should do fifth chakra work and eat kelp and other iodine
rich foods to nourish your thyroid gland.
CHAKRA COLORS THERAPY
The color of the throat chakra is blue.
Chakra color therapy for the fifth chakra is to wear blue clothing
or look at blue images. My favorite method is to look at a clear blue sky and chant or sing. This
engages sounds and experience with the color aspect of it and is very effective for many people.
FIFTH CHAKRA BALANCING WITH SOUND
The fifth chakra relates to the musical note G. Listen to music in the key of G, or chant the
bija mantra,
"HAM" (rhymes with mom). Because of the specific nature of the throat energy center, any
work you do on singing, humming, or even talking will have a healing and balancing effect on your
throat chakra. A good rule to follow for this chakra is to express yourself lovingly and openly, without fear of judgement.
FIFTH CHAKRAS CRYSTALS
Blue stones heal
and balance the fifth chakra. Wear a necklace of turquoise, sodalite, or amazonite or simply
carry a blue stone with you throughout your day.
Many people will get a large pendant of their
favorite stone and wear it daily for a full moon cycle or longer to enhance their ability to speak clearly and with confidence.
CHAKRA ESSENTIAL OILS AND AROMATHERAPY
Incense or aromatherapy
for the fifth chakra are benzoin, sage, eucalyptus and frankincense. Dilute essential oils in a carrier
such as jojoba or grapeseed oil and dab a little on your throat and neck. You can also kick back in a
relaxing bath with sea salt and essential oils. If you have a sage smudge, you can light it, blow it
out and put it in an abalone shell, then chant or do deep breathing.
LIFESTYLE
Other things you can do to balance your throat chakra are
positive affirmations
about free and clear self expression. Stand in front of a mirror and proudly declare,
"I speak freely and clearly" or "I speak my truth with confidence". A daily habit of
chanting, toning, singing, or humming is fantastic for developing a happy fifth chakra.
Deep breathing is another great habit for your throat, heart, and solar chakras.
