Throat Chakra - Vishuddha
Say what you mean. Speak your truth. Let your voice be heard. 💙
The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, is the fifth chakra in the traditional seven-chakra system. It is associated with communication, honesty, self-expression and listening.
At RIAS, we see chakras as tools for mindfulness, intention and self-reflection.
What Is the Throat Chakra?
Traditionally located around the throat, the Throat Chakra represents how we express ourselves and communicate with the world.
It isn't only about speaking. It's also about listening, being honest with yourself and expressing what you genuinely feel.
Think:
“My voice matters. I can express myself clearly and honestly.”
