So what is the throat chakra? It is the essence of communication, emotions, and creativity. It’s also in control of how you express yourself and speaking your personal truth. When blocked, it’s hard for energy to flow to that area properly, making it hard to express your thoughts, anxiety speaking or communicating, and being afraid to speak your truth. Making sure your throat chakra is balanced is very important so you are able to express your true self and speak your truth without hesitation. It takes time to unblock chakras so be patient with yourself and don’t focus on the negative. Focus on how you are trying to better yourself to live a life where you are not afraid to be you.

I know the importance of this chakra because it is something that I had to work on and continuing to work on, but I have seen the progress I’ve made by sticking to my goal of following these steps to help me be better in how I communicate and express who I truly am.

Here are some ways to unblock this chakra:

• Incorporate the color blue into your life, this is the color of the throat chakra. Blue crystals or stones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, aquamarine, and celestite can assist to balance your throat chakra.
• Neck stretches
• Breathing excerises
• yoga poses
• chakra meditation using the sound “HAM”
• Journaling, this is a good way to practice expressing yourself and finding your truth

These are just a few ways to keep your throat chakra balanced. If blocked too long it can cause problems in your life, from work to relationships. It can also cause issues with your body and health. Jaw issues, anxiety, neck and shoulder problems, and much more.

So now we know how important it is to have this chakra balanced so you can live a life of inner peace and truth.
