The Throat Chakra: Speaking Your Truth with Confidence
The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha in Sanskrit, is the fifth energy centre, located at the base of the throat. It governs communication, self-expression, and authenticity — helping us voice our truth with clarity and compassion.
When open and balanced, this chakra empowers you to express yourself confidently, listen with empathy, and align your words with your heart and mind. It’s the bridge between our inner world and the outer one — where thoughts and feelings become sound and action.
What the Throat Chakra Represents
The Throat Chakra is all about truth — not just speaking it, but living it. It guides how you communicate with others and how honestly you express your own needs, desires, and creativity.
This energy centre encourages integrity, transparency, and self-expression without fear of judgment. When balanced, your voice carries both authenticity and kindness.

How the Throat Chakra Connects to the Rest
