The Chakras are energy vortices of the energy body that comprise part of the energy system. When perfectly open and balanced, one is lead to the experience of a harmonious reality, connection to the Oneness in everything, and ultimately to union with the Divine Consciousness.
Vishuddha and Emotional Issues

We project and image of ourselves through our voice, or the absence of it. Clearly the way we communicate changes as we grow from baby to adult. On a physical level, you wound not expect a man’s voice to sound the same at seven years of age as it does at the age of twenty. In the same way, what he communicates through his voice will be different, depending on age and life experience.

Freeing Up Channels of Communication
The Throat Chakra is closely connected with this progression of communication as we proceed through life. A fluid auric field will assist it to function and will feed our communication processes. If it is blocked, this can result in depression and suicidal tendencies. At times when we cannot cope, or express ourselves, it may help to discuss problems with a qualified counsellor. When we talk things over, a burden is shared and self-expression through this chakra is encouraged. Professional counselling can be backed up with other therapies: light treatment with turquoise light, crystal healing, wearing a turquoise necklace, a visit to a spiritual healer or regular chakra visualisations using the colour turquoise. Most people use their voice every day solely to express the emotional needs of their lower chakras. If this is your pattern, you should question it.
To a trained sound therapist, our voice indicates our strengths and weaknesses, depending on the dominant or missing notes in our speech, which link to the health and wellness of our physical body. Even a listener who has developed a few skills can pick up information about someone by the way they express themselves: their emotions and mental state usually come across clearly in the voice.
The Importance of Listening
Our voice has the power to transform our lives, but often we forget how effective we can be when we communicate clearly. Listening is the real secret of communication. When we listen we hear what another person is really saying, and we can sort out the different layers within and behind their words. For example, we may say, ‘Yes, I am ok’ but really mean, ‘No, actually I am not at all ok.’ This is part of the mask we wear on the stage called ‘life’, an outdated programme stemming from the Victorian ethos of ‘children should be seen but not heard’.
