Vissudha, communication, inspiration and creativity

With Vissudha; the throat chakra, the issues of genuine self-expression, sound, the media, creativity, and the ability to create our own life come into focus. Issues important to the process of clarifying one's purpose in this cosmic game. 

Visuddha means purification. One way to work with this chakra is through sound and cleansing the energy body by using mantras. Personally, I start most mornings with chanting in Sanskrit, and I notice a difference in the flow of the rest of the day when I dedicate time to engage in this practice. 

Ending the day with reciting my own personal mantra, is something that makes me believe in myself, and my creative power. 

Writing, and music are other ways to work with restoring balance in the throat chakra.

Depression is one of the effects of a blockage in the throat chakra. In my life, I have noticed how my mood shifts when I express myself clearly, and how I experience an increase in positive emotions when this occurs. 

Speaking one's truth, and believing we all have something important to contribute aligns with the this chakra. 

Turquoise and aquamarine are some of the crystals related to Visuddha. Wearing a necklace with these stones can release blockages, and contribute to the free flow of communication.
