Blue Chakra, also known as Throat Chakra is a fifth energy center located in the middle of the neck.
The blue chakra is connected with your ability to express your authentic personality and communicate with other people without fear.
A healthy throat chakra will allow you to have an integrity, express yourself with authenticity and live according to principles of honesty, and truth.
Vishuddha is the Sanskrit word for a blue chakra and it means ‘purification’ since it is where higher spiritual energy is transmitted into the physical body.
As you might already know, each chakra is associated with a specific color. The primary color of the throat chakra is (light) blue, or turquoise.

Let’s get started!

How Do You Unblock The Blue Chakra?
Blue chakra might get blocked when you don’t think, speak, or live in harmony with your genuine, authentic self.
Inability to express oneself and a general sense of inadequacy are two of the most common symptoms of a throat chakra imbalance.
And that’s why, when you become anxious or emotional, your neck constricts, and you feel a lump in your throat as you try to hold back your feelings.
When there is a blockage in the blue chakra, you may notice problems and health issues in your upper chest, head, neck, and shoulders.
To properly activate the fifth chakra, the body must first purify itself in the lower chakras.
Communication via sound is the first step towards transcending the constraints of the physical body.
Non-physical symptoms may also cause a block in your throat chakra. They include your emotions, feelings, thoughts, aura, and soul.
