Influences: The throat chakra is associated with our ability to communicate effectively, express ourselves authentically, and listen actively. It governs our verbal and nonverbal expression, as well as our ability to speak our truth.
Effects: When the throat chakra is balanced, we are able to communicate clearly and effectively, express ourselves authentically, and listen attentively to others. We are able to speak our truth with confidence and without fear of judgment. However, when this chakra is blocked or imbalanced, we may experience difficulties with communication, self-expression, and authenticity.
