The Fifth/ Throat Chakra and what you need to know about it
The Fifth / Throat Chakra governs our energies?of truth, expression, healing and creativity. Part of our self-development journey is knowing and accepting who we are. Being?able to watch our inner world, and accept it, allows us to?live and express it with an authentic voice – to show our true colors. This process?requires some distance from our inner personal-dynamics. Such an objective, non-judgmental space of awareness is the birthplace of true expression, healing and creativity. The name of the Throat Chakra in Sanskrit is?Vishuddhi?Chakra. Here is what you should know about it and its associated gemstones and crystals.
WHAT IS THE FIFTH THROAT CHAKRA AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT US?
The fifth chakra is referred to as the Throat Chakra. It is located in the V of the collarbone at the lower neck and is?our center of communication, sound, and expression of creativity via thought, speech, and writing. It represents our?connection to our innermost truth and our ability to express it in our own unique way. The?potential?for change, transformation and healing are all located here.?The throat chakra is?associated with the element Space and its primary color is Blue. Physically it governs the organs located around the Throat and Neck?region such as the vocal cords, the entire mouth, and the thyroid gland.
Our Voice and Hearing are the?primary active?aspects of the Fifth Chakra and their balance is essential?to it. The sound vibrations of?our voice convey to the world around us what is going on within us on?all levels (mental, emotional, spiritual). Our ability to truly listen to the world is our primary source of spiritual learning.?When both?aspects are in tune we?learn not only the integrity that comes from living our true colors, but also develop an objective, non-judgmental perspective of the world (outer and inner) as well as?true creativity.
HOW DOES IT FEEL WHEN THE THROAT CHAKRA IS IN BALANCE?
In life, we experience ourselves as individuals separated from the world around us.?We have our own?body, Sensations, and thoughts which are?ours alone and which we need to take care of. We also know, however, that there is a non-personal aspect to life. There are people around us,?a culture, a society, animals and other living beings, as well as a historical context, and ultimately god. A balanced life according to the chakra system represents an evolution from the personal to the spiritual, from the subjective to the Objective. It’s a spiritual journey of perspective and ultimately – Identity.
