The throat Chakra represents clear communication, truth, purity, honesty and clarity.
The colour associated with this chakra is light blue, the physical areas of the body are the throat, neck, shoulders, mouth, sinuses and ears. The element associated is space (ether).
Mantras: I speak, I listen, I am truthful, I am authentic, I am expressive
If this chakra is underdeveloped, a person may find it hard to express their truth, or hard to speak or write about their emotions, they may not let their needs be known, they may be too passive and not stand up for themselves.
If this chakra is overdeveloped, a person can be overbearing, loud, aggressive, interrupting, they never stop talking, not listening or not hearing clearly, maybe even nagging.
It is important to find the middle ground, to be able to speak our truth about emotions and needs, with compassion and kindness - and to be able to listen and clearly understand what you hear. To be honest, open and truthful, but also to know when to have integrity, when to hold back information or words because they could be hurtful.
Things to do to boost your throat chakra balance
- Be honest
- Listen to yourself
- Listen to others (especially the good messages)
- Sing
- Speak up when you need to
- Get grateful
- Choose love instead
- Stop expressing anger unecessarily - remember the law of attraction
At the end of my yoga classes, i say "kind thoughts, kind words and a kind loving heart" - The kind words are when the throat chakra is balanced - please use them.
