"I am open, clear, and honest in my communication.
I communicate my feelings with ease.
I know when it is time to listen.
I express my gratitude towards life."

​Welcome back to the chakra series yogis!!  We hope you are enjoying learning about these magical (and scientific) centers of power.  Only three more to go...

Chakras can be described as “SWIRLING WHEELS OF ENERGY that correspond to MASSIVE NERVE CENTERS in the body.”  The fifth chakra, or Vishuddha in Sanskrit, is the first of the three “spiritual chakras.”  To be open and aligned in the fifth chakra is to SPEAK, LISTEN, and EXPRESS YOURSELF FROM A HIGHER FORM OF COMMUNICATION.  FAITH and UNDERSTANDING combine the essence of the throat chakra. 
Visuddha is located in the area of the throat and it governs the thyroid, parathyroid, jaw, neck, mouth, tongue, and larynx.  

The "way of the Throat Chakra" is the way of INSPIRED CREATIVITY, SEEKING and SHARING of the TRUTH.  It is the way of standing up for WHAT YOU BELIEVE.  It is also about the power of SAYING NO when you need to and BEING OPEN AND HONEST in what you say.  

​A person with an open Visuddha chakra is also a good and COMPASSIONATE LISTENER, he/she enables another person to have the experience of BEING HEARD - one of the most profound human needs.

So yogis, what is your HIGHEST TRUTH?  
Do you dare EXPRESS this TRUTH?  

YOGA postures that open and strengthen your Visuddha Chakra include:
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
Fish Pose (Matsyasana)
Shoulder Stand (Salamba Sarvangasana)
Plow Pose (Halasana)

Element: Ether 
Color: Blue 
Sound: HAM 
Gland: Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands


​BREATHE DEEPLY into the space you create during the asanas to bring even more energizing PRANA into your body.  You have thousands of nerves running up and down your body that will get stronger and stronger with every practice.  Combining proper exercise (yoga poses), proper breathing (pranayama), proper relaxation (Savasana), proper nutrition (organic and pure), and positive thinking/meditation will give you the WILL TO LIVE A STRONGER LIFE.  We are all in this together so get on that mat and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!

Lots of Love and Light,
Kinlee
