Vishudda, Throat Chakra

The fifth chakra is the throat and it's energies are that of the throat, trachea, thyroid, mouth, esophagus, teeth and gums, neck vertebrae and the hypothalamus. This is the area of spoken word, an area of action. This is our will.

Strengths that some from here are out ability to make choices, our personal expression, our ability to follow our dream, and our faith and knowledge. This is where we use our personal power to create. Make no doubt, the will has a shadow side too. This is also the source of our judgment, criticism. This is the center of our lack of the above abilities too. If we make constantly poor choices, if we have no real sense of personal power, it is because of imbalances of the will. As the center of our choice, this is also the area of addiction within us.

Disorders of the will are chronic sore throat problems, mouth ulcers, gum difficulties, thyroid problems and swollen glands. Particularly, thyroid problems and glandular disorders, as with the will itself, can play a huge impact in our life.

The will is uncomfortably settled between the heart (the fourth chakra) and the mind (the fifth chakra). If you consider the fact that basically the mind and the heart never agree on anything, indeed we could say that our will is caught between those two chakras. Strong and chronic conflict of the heart and mind will bring about the primary disorder of the will in our society today, which is addiction. It is interesting to note that although the will is perfectly capable of getting us into our addictions, it is seldom sufficient to bring us out of them. By the time addictions take over, all of our energy centers are off balance.

If we have significant and severe imbalances in our first three chakras, the chances that we will become an addict increase dramatically. If we suffer in the areas of our family and associations (first chakra), power (second chakra) and suffer with issues of poor self worth in general (third chakra), it is our will that often gets off balance enough to propel us into our addictions. Whether that addiction is alcohol, drugs, gambling, eating disorders or an addiction of behavioral patterns, it is our will that is misapplied.

The sound for this chakra is the sound HAM. This sound is created at the back of the throat with no tongue interaction. The resonance is created by closing your mouth and producing the MMM sound. The color for this chakra is blue.
