Experience More Creative Expression + Communication of Your Truth

If you’ve been experience difficulty expressing your thoughts, thyroid imbalances, or lack of creative outlets, you might be experiencing a throat chakra block.

The throat chakra is all about purification and expressing your truth through creative means such as art, poetry, music, dance, and speech. It’s also about listening + receiving others’ truth. It’s the connection from the heart to the outside world.

What does a Balanced Throat look like?

Articulate, truthful, honest, creative, expressive, communicates from the heart, communicates from intuition, talks kind about the self, listens consciously, sense of contentment

Common imbalances:

Fast + Over Active:

Receiving more than giving, speaking without thinking, gossiping, stuttering, loudness, hyperthyroid, lack of consideration, compulsive behaviors, speaking from the brain

Slow + Under Active/Depleted:

Giving more than receiving, “lump” in throat, “ silent child”, fear of speaking, biting your tongue, inability to express one’s truth, lack of creative expression, too precise, over regulated

Sometimes injuries present themselves when we need to bring a chakra back into harmony. For instance, if you have heart health problems such as high blood pressure + circulation, neck, shoulder, and upper back tension, thyroid imbalances, sore throats, mouth ulcers, ear aches, TMJ
