3 Fascinating Facts About the Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra, also known as the "Vishuddha Chakra", is the fifth of the seven main chakras located in the body. It's associated with communication, self-expression, and creativity. Here are three fascinating facts about this powerful chakra that you may not know! 

The Throat Chakra is located in the throat region, not the neck.

While the Throat Chakra is commonly assumed to be around the neck and throat, it's actually located in the center of the throat close to the spine! It gives us the ability to express ourselves both verbally and creatively, and to effectively communicate with others. 

The Throat Chakra is associated with the element of ether.

This element is thought to symbolize the vastness of the universe and the infinite possibilities of communication and self-expression. Sounds absolutely heavenly! In yoga and meditation, focusing on the Throat Chakra can help open up the flow of energy and bring a sense of calm and clarity to the mind and body.

The color blue symbolizes the Throat Chakra.

Blue is believed to represent truth, communication, and self-expression. When this chakra is open and balanced, our verbal and creative abilities thrive! We can communicate our thoughts and ideas to others with clarity and self-confidence. On the other hand, when the Throat Chakra is blocked or imbalanced, communication and self-expression are more difficult. Many experience physical symptoms, such as throat pain or sore throat.
