Throat Chakra Basics

Throat Chakra Basics by Timmie Horvath (Wanechko Policarpio) - The Sacred Wellness School of Healing Arts | Edmonton Reiki Training, Crystal Healing Certification, Chakra Therapy Certification, Aromatherapy, Essential Oil Safety

What follows is a basic overview of the Throat Chakra. The written summaries, exercise recommendations, and recommended Yoga asanas are based on my personal understanding of the chakras; my experience working with them for both personal healing and client work; and the widely accepted beliefs about the modern chakra system.

The essential oil, herbal, and crystal recommendations are suggestions only, and do not represent an exhaustive list. These recommendations were chosen because they represent a close energetic match to their particular chakras; always defer to your intuition when working energetically. Only work with herbs and essential oils if it is within your scope of practice, and if it is advised by your primary healthcare professional.

For a general introduction to the chakras, please read Chakras 101 and Chakra Therapy 101.

A Healthy Throat Chakra

When your Throat Chakra is balanced, you express yourself freely, and have a lot of mental and emotional space due to your creative power. You learn quickly, are open-minded, and are able to formulate creative solutions to a variety of problems. You are able to think “outside the box”, and can work well both independently, and as part of a team. You indulge your creative/artistic side, and have hobbies and passions that give you deep fulfillment. You are a great listener, and have excellent communication skills. You are confident in who you are, and you are brave enough to share your authentic self with the world.
