Vishuddha - The Fifth Chakra #683394

The fifth chakra, Vishuddha, the Throat Chakra, is located in the throat at the level of the thyroid gland. It is the center of the human ability to express, communicate and be inspired, creativity understood in a subtle sense, the relationship with our feelings. It is associated with the ability to communicate and express oneself, both verbally and in artistic forms, especially music, dance, acting.
The sense connected with the fifth chakra is, not surprisingly, that of hearing. Indeed, through the ears, we perceive words, music and singing, artistic expressions which, among other things, are particularly therapeutic. The fifth chakra, which connects the lower ones with the crown ones, thus acting as an intermediary between thought and feeling, also represents at the same time the expression of all the chakras: in fact, it is through words, laughter and tears that we give vent to ideas , opinions, sensations of all kinds.
The sixteen-petal lotus, symbol of this chakra, contains a yellow circle inside which a white triangle is inscribed, with the point facing downwards. At the bottom of the circle sits a gray elephant. The dominant color of the fifth chakra is a bright blue/azure, a color that induces tranquility. It relates to taste, hearing, smell.
It develops in adulthood and allows the person to express himself (thoughts and emotions), to find his own voice and to listen to others. This chakra would be located at the level of the Adam's apple in men and in the hollow of the throat in women and would be responsible for the functioning of the neck, tongue, neck, mouth, ears, nose, teeth.
