The Throat Chakra is the first of the spirit chakras. The work you undertake in this chakra has nothing to do with survival or the physical world. This chakra moves you into the upper three chakras that pertain to spirit and higher frequencies of energy. You have done the work of the lower three chakras that focus on survival, sexuality and emotions, and your will and ability to move forward. You have opened your heart chakra to experience unconditional love and beauty. Now it is time to expand into the Throat Chakra. This center is associated with communication, creativity, finding and expressing your purpose in life, and tuning in to spirit and your most inner self to find truth.
When the Throat Chakra is healthy, you have purpose, can express yourself creatively, and have connected to your inner self and spirit. Reaching this state of balance gives you internal strength and the freedom to search and reach beyond to constrictions of time and space to find truth. You can express yourself truthfully with pure heart and clear mind. If this chakra is over powered or under powered with energy, everything from fear and disconnect to arrogance and aggression can set in. Your Throat Chakra and heart chakra work together to help us make conscious choices and actions that come from pure motives and goals.
Your communication comes from the Throat Chakra. Communication is a creative means of connecting with the world around you. You need communication to maintain life. The tiniest of cells in the physical body communicate. Through this communication the systems in your body function and maintain life. You wouldn't be able to walk without the brain and the muscles communicating. Communication is also necessary for a communities to exist. People figure out how to work together by communicating. They find ways to connect through communication.
Communication in the Throat Chakra is more than verbal language. You are constantly sending out non-verbal communication that is perceived visually. You can look at another person while they are speaking to you and read a lot more into what they are saying. Your energy field sends out information that that isn't seen or heard - it is sensed on another level. You have probably encounter someone at a party, class, or other gathering, and can just sense that you don't want to be around them. It's up to you as to what you do with this type of communication, or if you even pay any attention to it.
Throat Chakra communication is energy. It has a vibration that impacts everything around it. This vibration is subtle in nature, and you may not even realize that it is having any affect on you. When you live life consciously, you become aware of the vibrations you are sending out into the world as well as the vibrations you are receiving. There are many people who are not conscious of their thoughts or words. They just go on their merry way with no filter, and no awareness of how this is impacting everything. There are also many people who absorb everything that comes their way without really looking at it and being conscious of it.
The media uses very conscious communication to grab your attention and get you to accept what they are saying without putting any real thought behind it. They could be selling a product or an idea which could be good for you, or not so good. This has worked for politicians, bankers, religious leaders, and corporations selling all kinds of products and services for a long time. Advertising has become a very technical field. The advertising specialists have become masters at getting their messages to you in ways that you aren't even aware of. Media can also present news, current events, and history in a way that can persuade you to think about it the way they want you to. They have the power to form your social and personal values...if you let them. Your Throat Chakra, partnered with your heart chakra, can give you access to the sources you need to make sound decisions. You will have the ability to get quiet so you can perceive the subtle vibrations and make you decisions based on your truths that come from within.
The Throat Chakra provides another step on the way to manifesting an idea into the physical world. When you communicate an idea...speak it out to the world, you are putting boundaries on the ideas so their is focus. Your idea becomes clearer when you put your voice behind it. When you share an idea through communication, the person you are sharing the idea with gets a picture in their mind. The more detail you communicate, the clearer the picture is. The more people you share it with , the more energy goes into it. It gets clearer in your mind as well. The clearer the picture, the better the universe can honor your idea.
The communication of the Throat Chakra is a form of creativity. This creative expression comes from searching and knowing the inner you. The beauty you experienced in the heart chakra can only be expressed through Throat Chakra communication in the form of writing, painting, dancing, singing, and so many other ways. Not everything you discover in your inner depths is beautiful, yet many times you gain insights from it. Expressing sadness, regrets, loss, etc., in a creative way can be a healthy way to work through it. Other people can gain insight through your creative expression.
You can begin to see how the chakras work together as a system. They communicate, and allow us to manifest in many ways. We daily manifest our attitudes, mental and physical health, relationships, and more. Being conscious of our thoughts and communication are essential to manifesting a positive and balanced life.
