What is the Throat Chakra?

The throat chakra is the 5th chakra and the second lowest frequency chakra of the upper chakras. It represents language, communication, and control over your life. Language dictates how you live and express yourself, making this chakra one of the most important to keep balanced. Being so important, the throat chakra is one that can be hard to master as language takes time to make better and healing this chakra can be difficult. Using what you have learned from the previous lower chakras will help you conquer new territory with the throat chakra.

When do you use the Throat Chakra?

You use the throat chakra in almost every aspect of your life, because language is ever prevalent and is how your reality becomes manifested. Communication is something that is very important to how you live your life and gives us a deeper connection to others and your self than the heart chakra gives. It is more about the language you use to communicate than the love the heart chakra gives you to others and yourself. Language is powerful in that there is a concept called linguistic determinism where your language is what dictates how your world is. The words you use are what you think and talk about; meaning how you use your language is what will appear most to you. Since the throat chakra is about language and communication, this chakra is used in almost every aspect of your life.
