The 7 Best Throat Chakra Stones and Crystals

January 29, 2021 Laura Konst

There are seven energy centres in our bodies called chakras, that receive, and send energy flow. The fifth energy centre, known as the Throat Chakra or Vishuddha is located at the base of the throat and neck and is primarily linked to self-expression and communication. You will often find the Throat Chakra symbolized by a lotus crescent-shaped flower with sixteen petals.

As the first of the upper chakras, the Throat Chakra governs the mouth, tongue and throat and all lower Chakra imbalances must be in order before you begin working on it.

Chakra imbalances are quite common and disturb the powerful vibrations of energy flowing through your body. This Chakra is mostly associated with the colour blue which is also thought of as the colour of harmony, peace and stability.

Healing stones and crystals offer one of the best ways to unblock your chakras and have been used for centuries from healers and sages as vehicles of vibrational energy.

In this article, we will talk more about the Throat Chakra, how you can unblock it and what healing crystals are best for you. Due to the colour associations, most Throat Chakra stones are in various shades of blue.

Why work on your Throat Chakra?

The Seven Chakras are energy centres on our body where the flow of energy is deep and connected to specific functions and emotional or physical qualities. This energy can be blocked or out of balance due to a variety of everyday causes, especially stress and negative emotions. You may also wish to guard against negative energy affecting you in your daily life by incorporating Throat Chakra crystals around your home or in your daily meditation practice.

As the centre for communication and expression, your Throat Chakra should be open and purified to reach enlightenment and allow you to speak your truth with no fear or hesitation.

In addition to crystal work, you may practice yoga, Reiki, meditation, practice daily affirmations and avoid negative sources of energy to achieve inner balance while on your journey of self-reflection and actualization.

What does a blocked Throat Chakra feel like?

A blocked Chakra can manifest in a variety of ways, both physical and emotional. The longer they remain blocked, the more negative energy and stress accumulates around that area and becomes evident in the way you express your emotions.

The symptoms of a blocked Throat Chakra influence the way you can communicate and express your thoughts and feelings. Vishuddhas is also linked to the Sacral Chakra (centre of creativity) which is why it may also affect your creativity.

Due to its location, common alignments are linked to your throat, mouth, and ears and may influence your thyroid, or cause earaches and headaches.

Some common physical and emotional symptoms with a blocked Throat Chakra

No creativity
Dishonesty and infidelity
Headaches
Lack of confidence when speaking
