The throat chakra, known as the vishuddha chakra in Sanskrit. Is located in the middle of the back of the head and the front of the throat. It serves as a driving force for individuals to express themselves and seek truth. When this chakra is healthy and balanced. It helps us overcome our fear of judgment and seeking approval from others.
It encourages us to embrace our unique experiences and celebrate our individuality. The throat chakra is connected to purity and truth which is why it is responsible for communication, expressing thoughts, emotions, and ideas. It also emphasizes healthy self talk and finding a balance between speaking and listening.
