THROAT CHAKRA-Vishuddha – Chakra Functions, Crystals, and Balance
Where is the throat chakra?
Our throat chakra is located in our throat area, as its name suggests. It covers our neck, mouth, ears, and part of our brain. Chakra’s colors are blue and turquoise.
What are the functions of the throat chakra?
Our throat chakra governs our communication ability. This communication includes all kinds of actions by which we can express ourselves, verbally, and physically. Since these expressions are actions we choose with willpower, we reveal ourselves. This chakra is a kind of interface where we connect with the outside world. Our thoughts, our feelings, form inside and spread from here to the outside world.
Also, this chakra governs our ability to a kind of hearing. This sensory ability is including speech and body language; it works in many ways, just as in communication. We can give information about our body language, without words, such as our tone of voice, facial expressions, and body posture.
How do we know if our throat chakra is in balance?
When our chakra is in balance, we can express ourselves most accurately in our relationships. This openness makes our lives easier than we think. To make our life more meaningful, we determine the position we want to be in our life. In this way, we have the chance to eliminate our regrets and leave ourselves to the flow of life.
Life is sacred and finite. We do not have the luxury of constantly correcting misunderstandings or self-actualization ourselves over and over again. For this reason, we have to express ourselves most accurately and shape our lives.
When the throat chakra is out of balance
When our chakra becomes unstable, we may find it difficult to explain our thoughts and feelings. While expressing ourselves, we can tell lies or pass off others with sloppy expressions. The biggest reason for this imbalance is that our communication is blocked from the outside.
Even if we want to express ourselves, our feelings and thoughts remain inside us; they stay like a lump in our throat. This situation can cause problems for us. Throat problems such as inflammation, swallowing difficulties and pharyngitis, respiratory tract infections, sinus, tonsil, and ear disorders, nervous system, and thyroid disorders may develop. Our upper respiratory tract may be vulnerable to bacteria and viruses.
We can use Blue Chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Topaz, Indicolite Quartz, and Sapphire to balance the chakra.
When the chakra slows down, underactive or blocked
When the chakra slows down, is underactive, or is blocked, we can be shy when conveying our thoughts and feelings; we can be afraid of being judged, and we can be defensive. Even worse, we can digest ourselves by thinking that the other person will reject us or not value us.
We may lie more and more because we are afraid, and we may end up living a life in which we are completely alienated.
We can use these crystals for immediate effect; Chrysocolla, Lapis Lazuli, Moldavite, and Turquoise.
When the chakra gets too fast, overactive, or blown
When our chakra speeds up, we may want to talk more while expressing ourselves. We can try to under-control the other person’s thoughts through our speech while keeping the other person’s. Because we tend to take the other person’s feelings and thoughts as they are, we want to control them to balance them. For this purpose, we can talk all the time without thinking.
We can use these crystals for immediate effect; Black Sapphire, Lepidolite, Paraiba Tourmaline, Sugilite, and Turquoise.
