I speak my truth with confidence.
The Throat Chakra, Vishuddha, rules over communication and creative expression. Physically, it controls the throat, vocal chords, mouth, tongue, and lymphatic system. When the Throat Chakra is in balance you are able to effectively express your inner truth and authentic self.
Out of Balance:
When this chakra is thrown out of alignment, you might be at a loss for words or have difficulty articulating your ideas and feelings. An imbalanced Throat Chakra can also take the form of gossiping, lying, or verbal aggression. Physical symptoms include a sore throat, stiff neck, and tightness in the jaw.
