Vishudda The Throat Chakra

The fifth chakra is the throat chakra and is known as Vishudda in ancient Sanskrit. It is located in the center of the throat. The chakra makes it possible for the energy to flow in and out of this point at the center of the throat and also out of a corresponding point at the back of the neck although the energy from the back is somewhat lower in intensity.

The principle purpose of this chakra is that of speech, communication and expression. The desire to communicate that which is deep inside you both to yourself and to others is what is represented by this chakra.

With a fully activated throat chakra speech can come with ease and there is a willingness to communicate with others..With this chakra blocked then throat difficulties in general can arise together with loss of voice, neck problems and on occasion shoulder problems too.

Turquoise blue is the fundamental color associated with this chakra. {Its element is the ether and the related metal is MercuryThe metal is Mercury and its associated element is ether}. The main gem stone for this chakra Turquoise. This gemstone has the blue of the sky and the heavens along with the green of the earth combining the spiritual with the grounded power of the planet itself. That is the main idea around this chakra. The mineral assists us to express ourselves and to share spiritual knowledge which can be integrated into our material lives. This can help with communication with others and also with spiritual and psychic communication.

When the throat chakra is unblocked, the psychological aspects manifest as a development of artistic talent and elevated spirituality. When this chakra is blocked then repression of speech, inability to converse and artistic blocks can all arise.

To balance the chakra you can use meditation music in the key of A and envision a sphere of turquoise blue light around the throat area. Picture whilst you meditate that there is a blue lotus flower with 16 petals slowly  opening and rotating as your chakra becomes unblocked. This 16 petalled turquoise lotus flower is represented in the Sanskrit Mandala for the chakra.
