The throat chakra (also known as Vishuddha) is responsible for communication, self-expression, creativity and the ability to speak your personal truth. This chakra is the seat of self-expression and can be viewed as a crossroads of the heart and the head — serving as a mediator between emotions and thoughts. The more balanced your throat chakra is, the more freely and effortlessly it is for you to express yourself in a truthful and pure way. When there’s an imbalance in this chakra, you may notice you have a harder time communicating effectively.
This energy center is one of the most commonly blocked chakras, in the majority of clients that I work with.
Why??
Because speaking your truth is hard!
Many of us have been conditioned as children to keep our voices quiet, maybe you learnt as a child that you were to be seen and not heard, not to upset others or to avoid making waves by saying what you truly think, need or feel.
What Causes Throat Chakra Blockages?
If you lack confidence in expressing your feelings, ideas and thoughts, your Throat Chakra may be blocked. If your 5th Chakra is closed or blocked, you likely experience frustration when it comes to expressing your feelings. This often means not being able to find the correct words, particularly when you are scared of losing something or someone.
Other fears may be related to being ridiculed, or a fear of offending someone close to you.
