Are you able to express yourself clearly and authentically? Are you able to be open and honest while also being compassionate?

When you have a balanced throat chakra, you’re able to do this easily. You can help your throat chakra come into balance with simple, everyday actions that support energy flowing through this channel.

Today we’ll take a closer look at this chakra, the 5^th one.

Keep in mind that the 3 lower chakras below the heart include the root, sacral and solar plexus chakras. They’re related to earthly matters such as survival and security, sex, creation, strength and power.

The fourth chakra, the heart chakra, is the bridge between the lower chakras of matter and the upper chakras of spirit. 

Then, the upper chakras above the heart include the throat, brow and crown chakras. They’re related to expressing yourself, clarity of perception, intuition and higher consciousness.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the throat chakra.

The throat chakra, the fifth chakra, is located in the throat area that includes the neck, jaw, mouth, shoulders, and also ears. This is your source of verbal expression. The words we speak have great power. Power to heal and power to create anew.
