Throat Chakra Healing: Best Crystals to Use

May 29, 2024 by Helmsman Crystal

What is Throat Chakra

The throat chakra is located within your vocal cords and represents your voice. This is why symptoms of an open throat chakra include a warm or cold sensation in the neck or throat. The Throat Chakra is known as the Sacred Center in ancient scriptures, and the meaning of the Throat Chakra is Inner Truth.

Location: Throat

Color: Blue

Planets: Mercury

Life Issues: Communication, self-expression

Glands: Thyroid, Parathyroid

The throat chakra develops naturally between the ages of 29 and 35. When this chakra is open, you feel expressive, confident, energetic, respectful and wise. On the other hand, a closed throat chakra can lead to introversion, anti-social tendencies and low self-esteem.

The Way Crystals Work On the Throat Chakra

  • Diet

Do you know any blue foods? If you're thinking of blueberries, you're right (although their color is closer to indigo than sky blue). While there are few naturally blue foods, there are plenty of throat chakra foods. You can consume these foods or charge them with throat chakra crystals, such as blue cheese, blueberries, and grapes.

  • Using Throat Chakra Crystals

The best way to balance your throat chakra with crystals is to wear crystal jewelry. You can wear throat chakra crystals as necklaces, pendants, neck chains, or other jewelry near the neck to keep the fifth chakra aligned. Don't forget to cleanse and replenish chakra jewelry with a mantra or positive affirmation before wearing it.

  • Sound Healing

Holding a throat chakra crystal in your hand and chanting HAM, the seed mantra for the throat chakra, is the best way to balance the fifth chakra. This is one of the best ways to recharge the throat chakra as the seed mantra merges the energy of your thoughts with sound and space. You can combine the beej (seed) mantra with open air meditation to purify and recharge the space around you.

The purpose of the throat chakra is to activate your voice and truth. This is why chanting mantras and affirmations can make you expressive and confident. Here are some positive affirmations to activate the throat chakra:

I recognize, accept and speak the truth.

My words are powerful.

I trust my intuition.

I am confident.

I speak clearly and patiently.

  • Sonic Therapy

The natural frequency of the throat chakra is 741Hz, charging your throat chakra crystals with music, songs or mantras tuned to this frequency will leave you feeling calm, relaxed and clear-headed.

  • Yoga

Yoga is an ancient exercise that balances the body, mind and spirit. If you're keen to fully open your throat chakra, then throat chakra yoga poses are a great place to start. The best yoga poses for targeting the fifth chakra in the body are Fish Pose, Plow Pose, Lion's Breath Pose and Child's Pose.

  • Aromatherapy

You can get rid of throat chakra blockages by inhaling the specific scents of essential oils through aromatherapy. Essential oils, incense sticks and incense associated with the throat chakra are peppermint, bergamot, cypress, sage, eucalyptus and clove.

  • Meditation

Since the throat chakra is ruled by the space or etheric element, open-air meditation under a blue sky is a great way to recharge the throat chakra crystals.

You can hold the throat chakra crystals in the palm of your hand by visualizing the throat chakra symbol; the throat chakra symbol is a circle with an inverted triangle inside and a blue lotus flower with 16 petals.
