Activating Your Throat Chakra by Speaking Your Truth

The throat chakra is our communication center. It represents what we speak into the world and what we take in and process through our mental and emotional bodies. Activating the throat chakra refers to opening up this energy center and allowing your life force energy to pass through without obstruction by freely using the power of your voice.

One can exercise their throat chakra through chanting, singing, and yogic breathing to name a few. Activating the throat chakra relates to how we use our words and whether or not we feel free enough to use our voice when we have something important to say. For some of us, our entire journey leads us through a series of lessons and experiences so that we learn how to speak our truth when the cost is high or when we feel we have something to lose. This is when it is most important to use your voice because you are showing yourself that no matter what the circumstance, you value your truth above all else. When we value our truth and aren’t afraid to express it, we are living as the most authentic version of ourselves. In this space there is nothing to hide behind because you are allowing yourself to fully be seen and heard, and the parameters of your voice are not dictated by anyone or anything. Your expression isn’t leveraged by other people’s influence or approval.

Before one is confident enough to speak their truth, they first need to get comfortable with using their voice. Most people have difficulty asserting themselves via stating preferences, speaking up for themselves, and setting and enforcing boundaries. Even saying “No” to things is a practice in self-love. This comes from the discomfort of not being able to speak our truth. When our throat center is obstructed, one easily allows their boundaries to be violated because they’re not even asserting one to begin with. The word “No” is one of the most powerful throat activations we can say out loud. It’s not just a defensive term, but rather, it asserts personal sovereignty in a world where conformity, compliance, and a veneer of politeness are the norm.
