5 Signs Your Throat Chakra is Blocked and How to Balance It
Do you find yourself having performance anxiety, difficulty talking? These are all symptoms of a weak or blocked throat chakra. Let’s give you some tips on how to heal that.
We all have seven major energy centers called the chakras and they are like a musical scale of energy within us and each chakra has an association with a pitch. Our chakra system is very much like a C major scale.
Our fifth chakra is our throat chakra.
The throat chakra is actually associated with the pitch G. It’s the color blue and it relates to “I speak” so it has a direct connection to talking. The throat chakra is your personal energy center of your personal truth and speaking your truth, tempered by the heart chakra which lives just below the throat chakra.
Your life purpose unfolds from the throat chakra.
If your throat chakra is blocked or weak, you are probably having a difficult time aligning to your life purpose. So there are five clear ways to know if your throat chakra is out of balance or weak.
1. Difficulty in communicating
If you find it difficult to speak or you’re unable to speak your truth, that is a sign that your throat chakra is weak or out of balance. You may be holding back in fear of the reaction of the people around you when they hear your truth.
The throat chakra develops as we are children. So if you lived in an environment where it was difficult for your voice to be heard as a child you most likely have a weak throat chakra.
2. Difficulty in expressing yourself
Now, this is very similar to number one – difficulty in communication. The difference between expressing yourself is having the ability to express yourself through art, through music but maybe you continually stop yourself.
Perhaps you’re an artist but you have a fear of being visible, a fear of being seen, a fear of being heard. This is all connected with a throat chakra.
3. Self-isolation
Perhaps you’re more comfortable being alone than being with others. When you’re with others you find yourself having a difficult time expressing your opinions and your thoughts. You harbor the fear of what others around you may think or how they will react to how you express yourself.
4. Having a difficult time asking for what you want, need or for help.
You have a difficult time asking for what you need because of the fear of rejection or the fear of hearing no, you can’t have that or no, I’m not able to help you.
For business owners or entrepreneurs this manifests itself in the fear of selling your products. Same with artists having the fear of selling their art.
5. Physical ailments around the throat area
The most obvious sign your throat chakra is out of balance is if you are manifesting physical ailments in the throat and neck region.
Sore throat, thyroid issues any dental issues, neck pain, jaw pain, tonsil issues and/or lymphatic issues.
Symptoms are a sign of misbalance
If you resonate with any of the above, you most likely have a weak or blocked throat chakra. With our chakras, we want to have energy flow through them in a balanced way.
We don’t want to have so much energy that they are imbalanced as overactive, we also don’t want to have too little energy so that they’re underactive.
We want them kind of like goldilocks. We just want them to be just right. So in order to help you heal your throat chakra, I have some tips for you that are very easy to apply into your life and a lot of fun.
Surround yourself with the color blue
A super-easy way to invite in throat chakra healing is surrounding yourself with the color blue. The throat chakra resonates to the vibration of the color blue. You can choose to surround yourself with more blue in your house, in your clothing, in your decorations. Go outside and meditate with the sky, just really focus on the color blue.
Gemstones
Blue kyanite is very helpful in healing the throat chakra. So if you have a necklace with gemstone jewelry of kyanite, aquamarine, lapis lazuli, these are the ones that can help you heal your throat chakra, blue lace agate is another gemstone as well.
Essential Oils
The essential oil that is connected with the throat chakra, there’s actually many, are frankincense, cypress, lavender. Lavender is a very relaxing oil so it can help relax the throat area if you’re feeling tense.
You may have experienced when you have talked or expressing your truth, you feel sometimes there’s just something strangling you or your throat gets tight or locked up?
Lavender can really be helpful for that and just help relax your neck muscles.
Empowering Questions
You can specifically use empowered questions to help heal your throat chakra. How that is done is to figure out exactly where you know you’re blocked. If you know that you have a difficult time speaking or you have a difficult time aligning to your truth, you can use these questions to help you out.
Ask yourself:
- Why am I such a good communicator?
- Why does communicating come so easy for me?
- Why is it so easy for me to express myself?
- How come I can express myself on a daily basis so easily?
If you find that you suffer from performance anxiety, you can ask yourself:
- Why is it so easy for me to perform?
- Why do I just love performing?
If you’re having a difficult time aligning to your truth or your life purpose, you can ask yourself:
- Why is it so easy for me to live my life purpose?
- Why is it so easy for me every single day to become closer and closer to my life purpose?
Harnessing animal energy
What animals come to mind if you think about seeing or expressing themselves?
The first one that may come to mind are birds that sing without even thinking about it, right? Just sing, sing, sing. That is a great example for us to sing.
Earlier in this video, I mentioned that the throat chakra is related to the pitch G. A great way to help your throat chakra heal is to hum the pitch G and to hum that pitch really into the throat.
If you’re a musician, you happen to have an instrument nearby, piano or violin, you can find out what that pitch G is.
If you don’t have an instrument nearby you can easily pop into youtube and search for a pitch video G and you’ll have a video with a pitch G. Hum the pitch deep into your throat.
Now, if you want to give yourself a double healing whammy you can play G and hum at the same time.
This has been so much fun to give you tips on how to heal your throat chakra.
