Through ages 29 & 35 philosophy, concerns about the future, explaining life choices, marrying their life’s purpose, the philosopher or thinker is under the impact of both aspects of a person’s growth

The Throat Chakra represents verbal, nonverbal, internal, & external communication. It begins to connect you to higher realms. Your word is your wand. It has the power to speak your entire world into existence. Life isn’t happening to you; it’s happening for you.

Imbalanced or Blocked Throat Chakra

Difficulty speaking or communicating one’s needs are signs of imbalance or a blockage as well as sadness :sad:, worry, & poor self-esteem. Being unable to articulate emotions may aggravate the situation further & the courage to do so isn’t there. Other signs are a knot in your throat or hitch in your voice, the dread of public speaking, or speaking so low it’s difficult to hear you.

  • Highly self-critical
  • Impede the flow of ideas & thoughts your share with the world
  • Feel as though you are critically picky of yourself or others
  • Manifesting as condescending, arrogant, or rude

Underactive

  • Timidity
  • Introversion
  • Insecurities

  2. Dharjya – Patience

  3. Kshama – Forgiveness

  4. Nyaya – Justice

  5. Nirapeksha – Impartiality

  6. Niraskata – Detachment

  7. Tapasya – Meditation and Spiritual Powers

  8. Aparchitta – Invincibility

  9. Danasheel – Beneficience, Bestower of all wealth in the world and nature.

  10. Saundarjyamaya – Beauty Incarnate

  11. Nrityajna – Best of Dancers

  12. Sangitajna – Best of Singers

  13. Neetibadi – Embodiment of Honesty

  14. Satyabadi – Truth Itself

  15. Sarvagnata – Perfect master of all arts, such as poetry, drama, painting etc.

It looks like these are the basic Hindu values. Learning each of them earns a petal in the chakra.
