A Closer look at the Throat Chakra The
Throat Chakra is concerned with communication. It allows us to transmit our
thoughts, ideas and desires. It is also the means by which we express our
creativity. Sore throats and stiff necks can often be indications that there is
a problem with some level of communication. Often something is being held back
by force of will that would be better verbalised in some way, or a desire to
express individuality is also being stifled. Without this natural flow of
communicated energy travelling out into the world, other sorts of energies also
slow down and there is a danger of stagnation. At the Physical level, thyroid
activity may be disrupted, leading to states of either lethargy or
hyperactivity. Muscle stiffness in the neck, shoulders and jaw results in a lack
of energy flow in those areas. Chronic tension in the jaw can lead to headaches.
On an emotional level, Throat Chakra problems can lead to an inability to
express and feel emotions at a deeper level. This dissociation can lead to
withdrawal and isolation or, alternatively can create a chatterbox who doesn't
feel comfortable unless talking, but doesn't communicate any true feeling.
