HW: Chakra Series 5
The Throat Chakra, or Visuddha, is all about the ears, nose, and throat. It correlates with the element of Ether, expressing creativity and communication. The heart and throat link allowing you to listen clearly to all around you (others’ words, nature, intuition) and speak your inner truth freely from a place of love and compassion.
Location: Throat
Color: Blue
Chant: Ham
“I Hear” “I Speak”
A person with a balanced throat chakra will have excellent communication and listening skills. They will be able to express their truth from their heart, with an awareness that the way they speak can effect the other person. They can also hear the words between the words – what a person means to say rather than the poorly expressed words. Telepathy can be another characteristic.
Excessive Throat Chakra: Poor listening skills, love to gossip, talk too much and interupt others, speak defensively.
Deficient Throat Chakra: Experience difficulty putting feelings in to words, shy, fear of speaking, weak low voice, introvert, tone deaf. Dental issues, grinding teeth, jaw pains are also examples.
Ways to balance the Throat Chakra:
Crystals: Larimar, Turquoise, Blue Lace Agate, Celestite, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli and Sodalite
Oils: Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Sage
Sing, Mantras, Chant – intentional vibrations and sound are so important for balancing the Throat
