Problems Associated with the Throat Chakra
The throat chakra governs our ability to act authentically in the world around us and to literally ’speak our own truth’. Throat chakra issues show up in problems with honesty and integrity, and problems with willpower. Lying closes up the throat chakra, and persistent blockage of this energy center can even result in laryngitis or medical problems involving the mouth and throat. Everyone is familiar with the expression “a lump in the throat” which describes a common sensation people have when they are overcome with emotion and are unable to express how they truly feel. That feeling is the actually closing up of the throat chakra. Extreme blockages can cause not only laryngitis but mouth ulcers, throat cancer, swollen glands, sore throat, voice problems, gum and tooth decay, and other dental problems. The idea of “losing face” which often manifests in dreams as a loss of teeth (symbolically) is very much a throat chakra issue. Anything that enables a person to speak the truth and be true to him or herself will help to open and heal this energy center. Singing and chanting are especially healing for throat chakra issues. Gargling with salt water, a common cure for physical throat problems, will also help to open the throat chakra. To prevent throat chakra issues, pay attention to how you feel about what you say and do and be honest in all things and true to yourself.
