How to Balance Your Throat Chakra
Chakra balancing is the process of restoring the harmonious and balanced flow of prana or energy throughout the body. Your chakras are in constant fluctuation. Practicing chakra balancing and aligning is a regular and sometimes daily activity to explore. But how do you balance your throat chakra?
Use Your Voice – As the center of your authentic voice, it is important that you practice using your voice to help restore balance to this chakra. Talking with close friends and family can be helpful. Make it a point to always speak openly and honestly with all that you say. Speaking in a heartfelt way can work wonders on your throat chakra.
Get Outside – One of the elements that the throat chakra is influenced by is ether. Ether is the clear sky, the upper regions of air beyond the clouds. Getting outside on clear and cloudless days can help bring balance to your throat chakra. Simply taking a walk or meditating outside on a clear day will help restore the harmonious flow of energy in your fifth chakra.
Physical Activity – Yoga is a paramount tool in bringing balance to your throat chakra. Yoga poses for the throat chakra should focus on opening the neck and shoulders and draw energy into the throat chakra.
Meditation – Meditation plays an important role in restoring balance to your chakras. Chakra meditation techniques are similar to traditional meditation techniques but focus on a specific area of the body. Below is a simple meditation technique to aid in balancing your throat chakra.
- Sit with your shoulders back and spine straight. Relax your muscles as you close your eyes and breathe deeply. Inhale through your nose and exhale through the mouth.
- Focus your attention on the location of your throat chakra: the center of the throat.
- Since the throat chakra is tied to the color of blue, imagine a blue glow at the center of your throat, slowly expanding throughout your neck and shoulders, making the whole area warm and relaxed. Rest in this sensation for 3-5 minutes.
- When you are ready, slowly open your eyes. You may follow with positive affirmations.
Affirmations – Positive affirmations are a great way to heal negative programming that can be embedded in your subtle body. When balancing your throat chakra, practice saying these phrases to yourself:
- I express myself truthfully and lovingly
- I communicate with clarity and ease.
- I realize the power of my voice, the power of my words.
- I choose my words with care and love
- My words echo softly within the universe.
Foods for a balanced throat chakra:
Blue foods (naturally blue, of course!) are recommended for balancing the throat chakra. Blueberries and blackberries, for example, are great for the throat chakra and are also good sources of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Many people also report good results with plums as well as tree-grown fruits such as pears and apples.
In addition, throat-soothing fluids such as coconut water and herbal tea with honey and/or lemon are time-tested remedies for the throat chakra.
