How can you express the best of yourself ? The throat chakra is a blue coloured energy centre that shines, as its name suggests, at the level of your throat.
The throat chakra is the fifth of your seven chakras. In this article, PlusHarmony, your well-being space in Waterloo specialising in chakra treatments, will teach you how to express the very best of yourself.
Vishuddha is the chakra of truth. The expression of your thoughts in relation to the expression of who you are.
In balance, the throat chakra promotes good communication between the heart and the mind.Your speech is thus true and honest.
Listen to the speech of others. Their words are sometimes messages the universe is sending you.
The words that you hear on the radio, or from a friend, or at a conference open you up to a new understanding of things, to another point of view, to a different vision of the world.
Through the throat chakra, you express what you feel, who you are.You speak according to what seems true to you. You express YOUR truth.
Speech and words have incredible strength and power.
As the Four Agreements advises us: « Be impeccable with your word ».
It is also the chakra for artistic communication, creativity, and self-expansion. The channel of your inner self is unleashed through your creativity, your convictions, and your emotions.
When the throat chakra is not in balance, what kinds of blockage can we feel?
Difficulty expressing yourself, being mired in false truths and pretences, keeping quiet and not daring to speak or express yourself, lying, not speaking up, stress, deafness, issues with food, a lack of creativity, constantly screaming and crying, keeping secrets, great shyness, losing your voice...
The imbalance can also express itself in the opposite direction: talking too much, forcefully monopolising conversation, exaggerating your stories to get others’ attention, gossiping, talking about others too much, mocking them, stuttering, having lumps in your throat, being arrogant, not knowing how to listen, constantly interrupting others, empty rhetoric...
