Chakra Series Blog Vishuddha
Blessings to you, dear friend. Welcome back to the Chakra Series of The Women’s Empowered Health Solutions Blog! I’m so happy you are here! 🤗
We have been moving up through the chakras quite nicely, I hope you’ve been practicing with them and seeing a difference.
This week we welcome in Vishuddha (sometimes seen spelled Vissudha). We are now in the realm of the spiritual chakras. Remember last time we worked with Anahata, the ‘bridge’ between manifest in the lower 3 and Spirit in the upper 3 chakras? Out of the 7 most widely known chakras of the body, we are at #5.
Let’s pause a moment, take a long deep breath in through the nose and exhale with a deep sigh making an audible sound…. HHHHHHAAAAAAA. Nice!
Making an audible sound on the exhale tells the body it’s ok to relax. I have to share something funny, this is how my dog and I communicate with each other that it's time to go to sleep. He does it (through his nose, not his mouth) then I follow suit and vice versa, then the lights turn out and it’s dreamtime.
Vishuddha is:
The 5th chakra up from the bottom.
Located at the pit of the throat.
Represented by the color blue, sky blue or light turquoise blue
Shown having 16 petals (the expression of it’s vibratory frequency)
Associated with the seed sound HAM (the A sounds like “uh” in Sanskrit like when you say yog’uh’)
Develops between 7-12 years old
Associated with the metal and the planet Mercury
Related to the element Ether
The essence of communication
Tied in with the sense of hearing
“Sound, vibration, rhythm, music, voice, words, communication. These are all aspects of the 5th chakra, located in the throat, literally the bottleneck of the whole chakra system. It’s name, Vissudha, means purification, as the release of sound purifies the energy body for entry into higher consciousness.”
~ Anodea Judith
The chakras are associated with different body parts and organs and sometimes share these parts with other chakras. Vishuddha is associated with:
Throat
Neck & cervical spine
Mouth (teeth, tongue, gums,)
Ears
Sinus
Respiratory System
Thyroid
Esophagus
Shoulders
Arms
Hands
Balancing of YIN & YANG (Female & Male)
This chakra corresponds to your abilities (or lack of) in the following areas:
Strength of will
Personal expression
Following one’s dream
Using personal power to create
Capacity to make decisions
Communicating clearly
Here are a few ways that an imbalanced (excessive and deficient) Vishuddha chakra presents in both physical and emotional symptoms:
Sore throat
Issues with the mouth
TMJ (lock jaw)
Stiff neck
Thyroid problems
Swollen glands
Tonsillitis
Ear aches
Unable to listen to others
Gossiping
Excessive criticism
There are many ways to work with healing, balancing, and supporting the chakras. You can use these for Vishuddha:
Color therapy ~ Light blue
Crystal therapy ~ Turquoise, Blue Lace Agate, Chrysocolla, Aquamarine
Affirmation ~ I communicate my intentions clearly
Movement ~ Yin Yoga
Meditation ~ Chanting
Sound Therapy ~ Singing, humming, whistling, tuning forks 741 Hz
Foods ~ Fruit
Chanting their seed sound “HAM”
Possible cause for the energy blockages in Vishuddha are:
Swallowing your words
Difficulty expressing yourself
Suppressing or ignoring your creative talents
