Throat Chakra
Affirmation “I am speaking clearly and truthfully with grace and ease.”
Sound Element
The Throat Chakra is located at the center of the neck at the level of the throat, it is the passage of the energy between the lower parts of the body and the head. The function of the Throat chakra is driven by the principle of expression and communication.
This chakra is related to the element of sound. Through the throat, sound is propagated into the air and its vibration can be felt not just in our ears, but also in our whole body. It is an important instrument of communication and expression. The Throat chakra is associated to the pharyngeal and brachial plexus (network of nerves in the shoulder that carries movement and sensory signals from the spinal cord to the arms and hands) and is connected to the mouth, jaws, tongue, pharynx and palate.
A balanced throat chakra means you are a good listener, communicates easily and clearly, lives creatively, speaks with confidence, sings well, expresses self freely, patient, honest, receptive to criticism, and comfortable with body language.
Physical manifestations are often related to the thyroid, which regulates the processing of energy in the body through temperature, growth, and in large part, metabolism. The nasal area, teeth, gum issues, TMJ (jaw pain), voice, neck, esophagus, or tonsils may also be affected.
