Collection: Throat Chakra
The Throat Chakra.
Known in Sanskrit as Vishuddha, the especially pure.
The 5th energy center. Located at the center of the throat.
Vishuddha governs communication, truth, authentic expression, and the courage to speak what the soul most deeply knows. When it is open and clear, you speak with honesty and grace, you listen with presence, and you trust the voice that rises from the deepest part of yourself.
In the Tantric tradition of the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana, Vishuddha is depicted as a sixteen-petaled lotus, smoky purple and luminous. The seat of the ether element and the sacred space in which sound becomes meaning and meaning becomes truth.
