The Throat Chakra is associated with the color blue.  This is the center for communication.  Developing the throat chakra means choosing words that bring value to communication.  When this center is open, you will have a powerful desire to talk about what you are experiencing.

This is also your center of your struggle with choice and the ability to release your will to Divine guidance.     Its essence is faith.  Faith in our fears or faith in the Divine.

Sacred Truth:  Surrender Personal Will to Divine Will - Actions motivated by personal will that trusts Divine power gives us the richest power.


When this energy is balanced we feel contented, centered, can live in the present, have a good sense of timing, are good speakers, artistic and we can meditate and experience Divine Energy.  We have increased sexual energy and can seek bliss through meditation.  When there is deficient blue energy we may feel scared, timid, hold back, quiet, inconsistent, unreliable, weak, devious and manipulative. We may not be able to express our thoughts, may not be able to relax sexually or feel afraid of sex and we may feel conflict with our religious upbringing.  Excessive blue energy may leave us feeling arrogant, self-righteous, too talkative, dogmatic and addictive.  We may have macho sexual energy and prefer partners who can be dominated.
