THE FIFTH CHAKRA
The THROAT Chakra or VISHUDDHI
[It is from this Chakra the Creative Identity rises]
Location: Throat
Color: Blue
Element: Akasha/Ether/Spirit
Glands/Organs: Thyroid, Parathyroid, Hypothalamus, Throat, Mouth
Gems/Minerals: Turquoise, Chrysocolla, Celestite, Blue Topaz, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine, Azurite
Foods: Blue/Purple Fruits and Vegetables
This Chakra controls the functions of speech, sound vibration, and communication. Much of the orientation is toward self-expression, such as development of mental, written, or oral skills. It is the Chakra that most influences intercommunication and our “personas”, the face we show the world. It is also the major link between emotion and thought and the link to communicating those emotions and thoughts to others through speech, music, or other oral arts. The 5th Chakra is the center of true communication and demonstrates the incredible power of the spoken word. It influences creative expression in writing, music, and the arts.
Ideally the Throat Chakra inspires loyalty, honesty, reliability, gentleness, and kindness. It brings peace, truth, knowledge, and wisdom. One feels contented, centered, and can live in the present. There is the sense of timing that makes a good speaker.
When this Chakra is congested there is trouble in creating and communicating with intelligence and practicality. You may feel scared and timid, hold back your thoughts, stay quiet, or be inconsistent, unreliable, weak, devious, and manipulative. There is a real problem trying to express your thoughts.
Over-stimulation can cause a tendency to talk too much and not listen, it also could cause overindulge or a great need for attention from others, arrogance, and self-righteousness.
When the 5th Chakra is unbalanced worry, fear, or paranoia may be present. You could also experience emotions as if they are your own, not realizing you have tapped into someone else’s mental communications. Physical manifestations of imbalance include feelings of tightness in the throat and thyroid problems.
A blocked Throat Chakra could cause bouts of intense emotion, communication and/or speech problems, ignorance or knowledge used unwisely, lack of discernment, or depression.
The experience of the world through vibrations such as language, song, or oration comes from this center. Keeping this Chakra healthy and balanced allows for authentic communication and empathetic listening, the ability to speak and hear with love and understanding, and experience Divine Energy. This will contribute to the integration of these vibrations and creative expressions to the Aura.
