The Fifth Chakra - The Throat Chakra

The Fifth Chakra

The fifth Chakra is located in the throat.

This Chakra governs our expression, both verbally and in all of the ways we interact with the world.

The colour associated with this Chakra is cerulean blue. 

The fifth Chakra is the seat of self expression, and can be seen as the crossroads between the head and the heart.  As such, it serves as the mediator between thought and emotion. 

In Bodywork, the throat must be open in order for the energy to flow. "Open" means that the person is capable of "letting the sound out" – both the sounds of pleasure and of pain.

Often, as the throat is opened, the pelvis begins to move spontaneously, indicating a strong link between self-expression and passion.

Blockages will be seen in sore throats, shoulder and neck pain, and clenched jaws.
