Vishuddha Throat or 5th Chakra

Vishuddha. Trying saying that 5 times fast 😉

The Throat Chakra governs Expression and Communication. How is this area of your life?

Are you holding back from telling people in your life how you feel about them? Are you having trouble finding the right words that express your desires, needs and wants? Are you afraid to say anything because you believe unkind or angry words will come spewing out?

Or are you experiencing the opposite? You can’t seem to shut up? You try to explain yourself succinctly and the words just keep coming and coming and you still can’t make your point? You rush to fill silences with gossip or stories that have no relation to the situation at hand.

If you have answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your Throat Chakra is out of balance.

When you find yourself unable to express yourself, there is a constriction on your 5th Chakra. When you are running off at the mouth, as the expression goes, your Throat Chakra is in hyper-extension. You know the frustration that comes from either of these imbalances.

The ability to communicate well affects all aspects of your life – relationships, career, and health.

Of course you want to be able to communicate and express yourself to your best ability. Life flows much more smoothly when you do. Miscommunications and misunderstandings diminish. Your words flow freely and you are heard.

Kissing the Blarney Stone won’t help.

To bring balance back to your Throat or 5th Chakra, meditate on that spot (centre of your throat) using the meditation word HAM or by picturing a pure white light entering your Chakra, cleansing it and restoring it to balance. You can also combine these two methods during a meditation. If you enjoy using stones, Spirit suggested Sodalite to us for this Chakra as it treats the throat, vocal chords and larynx. This stone can be used in your meditation by holding it in your hand or placing it on your throat.

If you feel you aren’t having much success in balancing your Chakra for yourself, we provide a Chakra Balance unlike any other, as it is Spirit guided. To learn more about this service and our Chakra Stones, please visit our Chakra Balance page.
