Express your unique self with the throat chakra

Do you sometimes have trouble to speak for yourself ?

Do you struggle to express how you feel with clarity and confidence ?

Well, I have been there too and that is why I started working with my throat chakra regularly.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud

Location : throat area.

Association : Relationship, Expression, Voice.

Colour : Usually seen as blue.

Crystals associated : Blue angelite, lapis lazuli, aquamarine...

Essential oil : Eucalyptus for its cleansing, purifying, warming and stimulant effect. This is a lovely oil to treat sore throats and infections.

Mantra : I am free, I can securely express myself.

Lesson : Allowing ourselves to express our true self safely and lovingly. This chakra talks about trust, relations with self, others, authorizations we give ourselves and how we verbalize them.

Physical/ Mental issues related : Mouth, jaws, neck problems. Thyroid imbalances. Flues …

The throat chakra is the centre of expression, so it is very important to take care of it and, let the energy flow freely.

I truly think that the throat chakra was the one I was struggling with the most, however with time, practice and awareness,I noticed that singing, setting some challenges, having deep, meaningful conversations with others gently helped me to rebalance it in a lasting way. It gives me more confidence to express my own voice and path.

I have also learned, through my different courses, that sound healing and mantras could be particularly adapted for this chakra. Get used to your own voice by chanting every morning or receive a Tibetan bowl healing and notice how your throat chakra feel after that. Do you feel any difference ? Any vibration ? 

The last tip is to connect with blue crystals. Sit with them, consciously ask them to help you express yourself lovingly and fairly.

I hope this article will help you find your way towards your unique expression. Do not hesitate to share in comments how  you balance this lovely chakra.
