The throat chakra is located in the throat area. It is from the lower lip to the clavicle of the chest/neck area. From the back
view its from the occipital ridge to the upper thoracic part of the spine. (the back chakras are lower than the front) The color
that is associated with it is a sky blue. It is considered the fifth chakra. It is also referred as the Vishuddhi Chakra. The
element associated with it is ether.
It governs our physical body of the; thyroid, esophagus, mouth, teeth, jaw, cervical of the neck, right hemisphere of the brain
and the entire respiratory system.
This is were we store our inner wisdom and our beliefs about them. We must be open to what feels right and reject what does
not. How we communicate with others is from this center. Our self expression through thoughts, writing, speech, dance and art
is here. The very truth that is within comes from the throat.
When we develop the throat, it opens us up to clairaudience. Which deals with telepathy. The thoughts and information from
others and from spirit. We can also bring through past life wisdom through this center. It is also where some channel in
spirits through - the back of this chakra.
How do you know that you have a throat chakra blocks? Blocks within can be cause by our own emotions and how we live our
lives. It is not always someone else doing to us that causes blocks. It is our own actions and allowing that make blocks within.
Some of the signs that the throat chakra is blocked are:
- Sore throat
- Problems related to the neck and shoulders
- Not being able to express your words out correctly
- Biting your tongue - literally and figuratively
- Lying or not telling the truth
- Loss of voice
- Not speaking up for self
A persons that has blocks in the throat chakra are usually have one or more of the following: (please remember the blocks do
not make the person do this - the do these actions on their own.)
When there is blocks within the throat it can deal with many different things. Usually the blocks can show by the actions and
deeds of the individual. One would be gossip. Gossip is nothing but a negative action. It is telling things bad about someone
else. (telling good about someone is boosting or promoting and negative information would never be included). A person that
gossips has a throat block or causing a throat block. Usually caused by not liking an aspect of oneself. If the individual liked
their own self they would not try to find faults in others and bring that to the attention to others. This can also be associated
with the mirror effect. The mirror effect is - you are seeing something in someone that you do not like within your own self or
that you wish you had and would do something verbally negative toward someone else and not realize this is your own issue.
Also, lying would be another cause of a block or it would be a sign of. Not being able to speak ones truth. Both would be the
most negative aspects that could be. Not being able to communicate well with others is another block that can exist within.
Usually caused by worrying what people would think about what you say or how it would sound. Some times this stems from
childhood dealing with our parents and elders saying a child should not be heard or should not talk until spoken to. Not
being able to express themselves creatively; art, dance, writing etc. Also, it would be good to check to see if there is a block
within the sacral as creativity is governed there.
When these blocks do form you may find problems in the physical. Usually the first sign would be sore neck or throat sore.
Even the common sore throat is a block. It can be caused from not speaking your thoughts to another. Sometimes dealing with a
relationship; friends, family, mates, issue. Holding our words in would cause the neck and throat issues. Usually showing signs
of respiratory problems would deal with relationship issues. Dealing with the teeth issues can be fear of something and it
would also relate to the solar plexus. If the teeth problem is wisdom teeth, ask yourself are you afraid of your own wisdom or
guidance. When serious blocks accumulate you may find serious problems in the cervical of the neck, thyroid and voice
problems.
Some of the ways to heal this chakra would be to do releasing. Those unexpressed things you want to say, does not have to be
spoken directly but can be done; by writing them out, deep breathing and giving it to Divine, the universe for healing and
releasing. Release and let go are the key words. Reiki is a wonderful way to heal this and also to bring more light in by
adding the reiki energy to develop it.
