The Throat Chakra - The 5th Chakra
The throat chakra, our 5th chakra is the energy centre of the human capacity of expression, communication, truth and inspiration. Through the throat chakra we express everything alive within us - it gives us the ability to express freely, with no judgement or fear for what we believe in. It’s the link to our thoughts and feelings, our impulses and reactions. When our throat chakra is completely open you express your thoughts, feelings and inner knowledge freely and without fear but also are capable of admitting your weaknesses.
When the throat chakra is blocked, this will interfere with the communication between mind and body. You may feel it is difficult to express your true thoughts and feelings, and even find it difficult to reflect on them, therefor leaving you feeling confused and often express your unresolved emotions in thoughtless actions.
You may experience unconscious feelings of guilt and be afraid to express because you fear the judgement of others, and isolation. You hold yourself back completely and may feel shy or withdrawn.
Healing the throat chakra will improve your communication skills, you will find it easy to express yourself and your inner truth, to yourself and others, in a more balanced way. It will help you let go of criticism, judgement and fear, and help you express with confidence. Ultimately you will feel more connected to life and be able to make clear and precise decisions about what you want out of life, you will become in tune with your intuition and the messages of your soul.
Truth and Love will set you free
It is true what they say "speaking your truth will set you free". In order to speak your truth you have to feel confident in what you're saying, and believe in what you're thinking.
When I say being confident, I do not mean thinking or feeling like you're better than anyone else, but to feel comfortable in your own skin. Having confidence in who you are means not worrying or caring about what other people think of you, and it mean's not needing to compare yourself or your life to anyone else, and not needing other peoples approval. You should speak your own truth, with confidence, knowing in your heart people won't judge you for doing so, and if they do then that just means they have some healing of their own to do.
Healing the Throat Chakra with Colour : The meaning of Blue
All seven human chakras have their own corresponding colour. The colour Blue is associated with our Throat Chakra, our voice and how we use it. Blue is considered a hue for cleansing and health, blue’s calming effect helps restore balance and eases physical and mental stresses often associated with throat chakra imbalance.
Wearing the colour blue gives us a calming and relaxing feeling which is very healing, it can influence our mood and emotions. Having blue on our walls is also very relaxing, usually lighter shades.
Meditating and visualising blue, especially over our throat chakra can be a very powerful way of healing ourselves.

“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.” - Barbara De Angelis
