You have probably heard of the seven chakras and how they can play a role in your overall health. However, you might not know how to work with your chakras effectively. Chakras are energy centers in the subtle body that distribute the flow of prana or energy throughout your body.
Initiating from the base of the spine and progressing upward to the crown of your head, chakras exert a profound influence on your overall health and well-being. Understanding the role and purpose of each chakra is a crucial initial step in balancing your chakras and establishing a harmonious flow of energy, particularly when dealing with throat and sacral energy chakras blocked.
All of the seven chakras are interconnected; balancing one chakra will create change in the others. If you want to improve your ability to communicate or articulate your true feelings, it would be wise to focus on the fifth chakra or throat chakra.
The Throat Chakra
Located in the neck region, the throat chakra or vishuddha is the fifth of your seven chakras. The Sanskrit name translates to “Especially Pure,” a fitting name for this chakra, as the throat chakra is associated with speaking your authentic voice. The energy of the throat chakra starts in the center of the neck at the level of the throat and expands through the shoulders. This chakra is the first higher or upper chakra on the “chakra ladder.” Your throat chakra embodies your true originality and authenticity with a strong connection to your second or sacral chakra. The throat chakra is motivated by expression and truth; it allows you to see the true knowledge beyond the limitations of social conditioning. This chakra is responsible for communicating effectively and with conviction. When your fifth chakra energy is in harmony, you will stand up for what you believe in, be honest with yourself, and speak your truth. As the center of communication and creativity, the throat chakra allows you to express who you are and listen deeply to others. When your throat chakra is balanced, it gives you the ability to be inspired, projects your ideas, and align your vision with reality.

Talking with close friends and family can be helpful. Make it a point to always speak openly and honestly with all you say. Speaking in a heartfelt way can work wonders on your throat chakra.
