Vishuddha (Fifth Chakra)

Vishuddha
Chakra five

Visuddha is the first of the three Chakras which reside on a spiritual plane. The elements is sound and it is located in the throat.
Chakra five is associated with the throat, jaw, thyroid, ears and mouth. It is about all that we put out into the world. The vibrational level by which we express ourselves. Visuddha resonates with our true self and conveys our creativity through singing, writing, speaking, dancing, art or any form of expression we may seek.

The challenge to all of us in life is to learn to fearlessly express who we are. The souls desire is to be heard and understood and to speak and hear the Truth. Lies are toxic to the Fifth Chakra. We must learn to speak the truth without harming the self or others.

When unbalanced you may experience stiff neck, shoulder tension, teeth grinding, jaw disorders, throat ailments and thyroid problems. On an emotional level you might notice excessive talking, inability to listen, hearing difficulties, stuttering and a fear of speaking or expressing yourself.
You might notice the way you feel after you have said or done something unkind. Your vibration and energy are heavy and thick. Visuddha translates to mean purification.

We need to purify our body through diet, yoga and meditation to experience the subtle energies of the upper Chakras.

When in harmony this Chakra will help us resonate with our self and with others, we find creative self expression and are in touch with playfulness, joy and innocence in our lives. We are able give and receive the truth and can hear our soul’s desire.
