Understanding The Role of the Throat Chakra
Our spiritual energy body consists of energy passages, much like the arteries and veins in the body, and chakras, which might be compared to our physical organs. There are seven primary chakras. This article covers an understanding of the throat chakra.
The word chakra is an ancient one, originating in the Sanskrit language. Chakra means wheel, which describes its energetic appearance. Each chakra has a role, ranging from our basic primal body knowledge up to our higher spiritual knowledge or wisdom. The throat chakra relates to the flow of communication.
When we speak of communication our first thought is of an exchange of words between two people. Communications are not restricted to words alone. We have sign language, using symbols and gestures to make a point.
Our communication is multi-dimensional, meaning that it is not restricted to our words only. We use our facial expressions, our breath, and our silence to convey our messages.
Just the same as we use our entire body to speak for us, the throat chakra acts as a conduit for other aspects of the chakra system. When we communicate we bring in our thoughts, views, feelings, and beliefs that when combined give life to our words.
The throat chakra also serves as our internal dialog conduit. This ability is known as the inner voice. The inner voice serves to connect our body, mind, and spirit. We also use our inner communication as a passageway between our single visions of self to the spirit we perceive as our higher spiritual presence.
There is another form of communication known as telepathy. This communication form does not use the physical tools of sound or motion. Many of us use this form of communication, but since it is so subtle, leaving no physical evidence, it is often overlooked.
The chakra system holds no mystery, for each chakra is directly related to an aspect of our physical expression of self. Learning more about your energy system can enhance your life, for having more understanding of the chakra system will bring you to greater understanding of yourself. Since the energy body serves the physical, healing the chakra usually translates to healing the body.
