We explore the fifth chakra, our center of communication, and how it governs our ability to express ourselves clearly and truthfully. Located at the throat, this energy center (Visuddha in Sanskrit) represents purification and acts as a bridge between body and mind.• The throat chakra is associated with the color blue and governs communication, conscious creativity, and our right to speak/hear truth• When balanced, communication flows with clarity and ease, allowing both authentic expression and deep listening• Imbalances appear as fear of speaking up, excessive talking, poor listening skills, or gossiping• This chakra develops primarily between ages 7-12 when we begin to seek recognition for our expression• Major blocks include shame, fear for safety, family secrets, mixed messages, and disconnection from our authentic self• Healing practices include emotional processing, clear communication skills, active listening, toning/singing, breathwork, journaling, and meditationTake time to reflect on what truths you've been holding back. Try speaking them aloud, even if just to yourself, and notice what happens in your body.
