Episode 60 - The Fifth Chakra: Unlocking Authentic Communication and Self-Expression
Manage episode 482236285 series 3660866
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 meditation
Take 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. If you'd like to share your experience or have questions, click the message me button on Spotify or email me at [email protected].
