"Vissudha," "Throat chakra," "Mercury chakra": Throat
"Vissudha," "Throat chakra," "Mercury chakra": Throat
The throat chakra is related to communication and creativity. The core need is to find your authentic voice and speak your own personal truth. Writing, painting, dancing, music, thinking and countless other forms of creative expression becomes available to us.
Communication is essential to create successful relationships. Without open, honest expression of our wants, desires and needs, relationships soon become stale, falter and fail. When we communicate authentically, masks come down and we meet each other outside our facades.
With authentic communication and empathetic listening, we learn how to hear beyond the tone or volume of the voice our partner uses that may seem harsh, to reach the underlying pain, and listen with love and understanding.
