Chakra 5: Throat
Sound, rhythm, vibration and words. These are powerful rulers of our lives;
we take these things for granted, using them, responding to them.
Communication is the means whereby consciousness extends itself from one place
to another. Communication is the connecting principle that makes life possible.
The fifth Chakra is the center of sound, vibration and self-expression. It
is the realm of consciousness that controls, creates, transmits and receives
communication, both within ourselves and between each other. It is the center
of dynamic creativity, of synthesizing old ideas into something new. Its attributes
include listening, speaking, writing, chanting, telepathy and any of the arts-especially
those related to sound and language.
The chakra of communication is the throat chakra, and it is located in the
region of the neck and shoulders. Its colour is blue-a bright and has a symbol
showing a lotus (Visuddha) with 16 petals, containing all the vowels of the
Sanskrit language.
The fifth chakra brings an awareness of deeper harmonics and affects the throat,
lungs, and thyroid gland. Problems with this Chakra can lead to thyroid problems;
asthma; bronchitis; hearing problems; problems of the upper digestive tract;
mouth ulcers, sore throats and tonsillitis.
