Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Communication & Self-Expression
Located at the throat, Vishuddha governs how we express our truth, feelings, and inner voice. When balanced, it allows for clear, honest, and compassionate communication.
Signs of an Overactive Throat Chakra
An imbalance in this chakra may appear as:
Excessive Talking
Talking Without Purpose or Awareness
Gossiping or Speaking Without Mindfulness
This often reflects a deeper need to be heard—but without healthy filters, it may lead to miscommunication, disconnection, or harm.
Why It Happens
The throat chakra is our energetic “voice box.” When overstimulated:
Words may pour out without pause
Thoughts may feel urgent—even if not helpful or kind
We may speak about others more than with them
Though other chakras support communication:
Heart Chakra (love & compassion, center of chest)
Sacral Chakra (emotion & connection, lower abdomen)
…it is Throat Chakra that is the core of verbal expression—both in truth and in distortion.
Healing the Throat Chakra: Practices & Tips:
Pause & Reflect
“Is what I’m about to say true, necessary, and kind?”
Speak Your Truth
Express feelings clearly without dominating conversations.
Choose Words Carefully
Mindful communication fosters authenticity and trust.
Physical Practices: Neck Stretches – Gently release tension in the throat.

Fish Pose (Matsyasana)
Camel Pose (Ustrasana)

A powerful breath practice to stimulate the throat chakra.
