THROAT ENERGY CENTRE (Vishudha Chakra)

The Spiritual symbol of Throat Energy Centre (Vishudha Chakra) is a Blue shaded Lotus with sixteen petals. The Frequency of vibration of this Energy Centre is 16 per seconds and its main elements are space and air.

Safety Measures: The Throat Energy Centre connects you to your ability to express yourselves, therefore creating a number of issues if this chakra is blocked or unbalanced, particularly from subconscious attitudes or feelings becoming trapped and unable to surface. Severe trauma can cause this Energy Centre to close, making it very difficult to express emotion. If it becomes unbalanced, you may feel that you are unable to communicate verbally, physically, and emotionally. 

Common psychological symptoms of an unbalanced Throat Energy Centre are nervousness, anxiety, fear, attention deficit disorders, poor coping skills, feeling isolated. Common physical symptoms of an unbalanced Throat Energy Centre are problems with the nasal area, irritated sinuses, sore throat, jaw pain, voice loss, thyroid problems, teeth and gum problems, and ailments of tonsils.

When the Throat Energy Centre is out of alignment, you may feel like you don’t know how to ask for what you need and feel unable to shape the world you want to create. Poor communication is the result of it.

Method: Perform meditation on it as follows:

Step 1: Sit in Lotus pose (Padmasana) and relax your body.

Step 3: Keep your hands on knees with palms upwards and fingers in Life Force Position.
