5th CHAKRA VISHUDDHA

​

The 5th chakra is the center of communication, self-expression, and creativity. It is through this chakra that we hear our inner voice, as it is connected to the sense of hearing and the element of ether, or Akasha.

When awakened and purified, it promotes telepathy and the channeling of information. Vishuddha is the gateway to higher levels of consciousness. One could view this chakra as an "energetic mouth."

It is intimately linked to our personal expression—not only our verbal expression, which depends on breathing, but simply the expression of our true self, our deep personality. The more fulfilled we are, 

fully tapping into our potential, the more this chakra radiates.

​

Working on this chakra means evolving in the world with confidence and serenity. There is no need to impose oneself through illusory force. Through this chakra, we externalize our inner universe. If it is harmonious and aligned with Creation, we will be perceived as we truly are: strong, peaceful, rich, and luminous.
