Chakra Series Pt. 5 | Throat Chakra and Communicating
What is the Throat Chakra?
Our fifth primary chakra; the throat chakra is also known as Vishuddha, meaning "purification." Known for its turqouise or smoky blue color, it emotionally governs expression and when healthy/open we are comfortable with telling the truth.
Where is it located, and what does it associate?
Located at the throat region, also linking the neck and shoulders Vishuddha is physically most associated with our thyroid gland. It regulates the processing of energy in our bodies through temperature, growth, and in large cases, the metabolism.
Emotionally, governing the ability to speak your truth or your sense of self expression. This accounts for a few other things such as our communication skills, our spiritual and intuitive abilities, good sense of timing in life, and ability to create and project ideas into real life.
