About Vishuddha- It's the SEAT OF EXPRESSION! The bija chant is: HAM. This chakra is associated with the color blue, and the element ether. Motto: Be honest! This is a place of eloquence where you express your higher wisdom, the wisdom of harmony and alignment with the Divine Self. All actions are motivated by good intention, a desire to embody peace and to express the highest potential of life. Vishuddha is BALANCED when you can set clear and healthy boundaries to protect you and your family, to protect your time and energy, to say what you feel is right. You express yourself honestly, eloquently, and respectfully. When this chakra is IMBALANCED you may find yourself swallowing your words and feelings and not expressing yourself. You may give your time and energy away feeling depleted and stressed. You entertain hurtful gossip and speak badly about yourself and others.
On a physical plane, you have thyroid imbalances, a frequent sore throat, or neck pain. This chakra is located at the center of your throat and affects the thyroid.
“To
Speak”
*Poses
to balance this chakra: plow, shoulder stand, fish, neck rolls and
twist, inversions (where the head is below the heart) to flow energy
through vishuddha like uttanasana.
Express
your voice! Speak up for what you know is right. Sing and chant,
dance, play an instrument, learn a new language, and write. Open the
lines of communication with your loved ones.
This is an attachment to me from Dr. David N. Russell, which goes into an incredible amount of detail.
