Throat Chakra @ 384 / 768 Hz. Opening Symptoms.
The throat chakra – Vishuddha in Sanskrit – is the energy centre located in the neck, directly behind the oesophagus.
Its position is between the chakras of the head – the third eye and crown chakras – and the rest of the body provides a passage of energy linking the physical, emotional and spiritual centres of the body.
When we have a closed or tight throat chakra, we can experience difficulties in expressing ourselves effectively in social situations.
We may also have trouble with public speaking, presentations and other situations where the attention of others is on our voice.
We should, if we are experiencing problems with a closed or tight throat chakra, use chakra healing techniques to open our throat chakra.
But how can we tell that our throat chakra is opening?
Ease Of Communication
When our throat chakra opens, we find that communicating with others becomes a much, much easier task.
For introverts, this might mean a dissipation of the tiring energies that build up in even the most enjoyable social interactions.
For extroverts, this might mean a renewed enjoyment of speaking with others.
When communicating comes easily, our lives are made more comfortable and more fulfilling. Seeing this change may hint that your throat chakra is opening
Renewed Confidence
Related to this, we can experience a boost of self-confidence when we open our throat chakra.
Control over our voice is always the first step to becoming a self-possessed, free person.
Even the most isolated people in the world use their voice to take control of themselves – this is why we use mantras and chants when we meditate. Our voice is important to us.
So when we regain the ability to control our voice in the world, we restore the self-esteem that allows us to go about our lives with confidence.
There are also a number of physical signs we can look out for that signal an opening of the throat chakra. Some are listed below:
Relief of aches and pains, particularly in the neck and throat region. A stiff neck or constant feeling of a lump in the throat might suddenly and unexpectedly disappear.
Relief of internal throat problems, such as hoarseness, laryngitis and throat infections. The throat chakra opening might also remedy a persistent cough.
Relief of dental issues, such as dental pain or mouth ulcers. Opening the throat chakra spreads positive energy through the mouth as well as the throat, providing relief from toothache and other problems.
Relief from persistent headaches, including migraines and cluster headaches. Though we should visit a doctor if we experience too many headaches, most cases are related to a closed throat chakra and can be at least in part relieved by opening it up.

Do You Have a Deficient or Excessive Throat Chakra Blockage?
Did you know that there are actually two types of chakra imbalances?
While a deficient throat chakra is passive or energetically “numb,” an excessive throat chakra is energetically aggressive or manic. Here’s a breakdown of the difference between the two:
Deficient = lifeless, sluggish, passive, blocked, inwards (not enough energy flows in).
Excessive = lively, agitated, reactive, aggressive, outwards (too much energy flows in).
Therefore, if you have a deficient throat chakra, you will be more prone to issues such as shyness, inability to express your thoughts, and secrecy. On the other hand, if you have an excessive throat chakra you will be prone to stubbornness, hostile communication, and a tendency to be socially overbearing.
The question is, what type of imbalance do you have? It’s also possible to fall somewhere in the middle.
Throat Chakra Healing Practices.
Use a powerful mantra.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Mantras are composed of sacred words or sounds that help you to access higher states of consciousness. There are many ancient mantras out there to choose from such as “Om,” “Ham-Sa,” “Om Mani Padme Hum,” “I am,” and so forth. Many people also choose to chant the name of their chosen god or goddess such as “Shiva,” “Kali,” “Hecate,” “Osiris,” “Neptune,” etc. You might even like to create your own mantra.
Hum or chant “HAM”.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
This sound matches the vibration of the throat chakra. Try drawing out the letters into sounds, such as “hhhhhaaaaaammmmmm.” You might also like to listen to binaural beats (a form of music healing therapy) which helps to activate and clear all the chakras through alternating sound waves.
Start journaling your thoughts.
Best suited to: deficient blockages
If you are struggling with verbalizing your thoughts and feelings, try to record them in a private journal. I like to use online programs such as Evernote to record my thoughts and feelings. Make a daily practice of recording how you feel, and don’t worry about things such as grammar or sentence structure. Let your thoughts and feelings flow freely through your pen or keyboard.
Listen carefully.
Best suited to: excessive blockages
If your throat chakra is receiving an excessive amount of energy, you may struggle with dominating conversations and ignoring other people. This habit may get you into a lot of trouble with your friends, family members, partner or colleagues. In order to break the habit, practice breathing into your belly (as mentioned in point 6) and listening carefully to what the other person is saying. Remember to observe their body language – sometimes a person’s words don’t match the energy they’re transmitting.
Screaming and laughing catharsis.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Catharsis is a powerful energy releasing technique which will help you purify your throat chakra. A lot of stagnant energy tends to build in our bodies when we can’t communicate clearly. Release your frustration through laughing or screaming. For example, watch a funny video or, if you have an intense throat chakra blockage, scream into your pillow. When practiced regularly, both of these practices will help you to feel more confident expressing yourself in a healthy way.
Clear blocks with yoga.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Balance your throat chakra by doing yoga stretches such as the fish, lion, and plow pose. You might also like to try simply rolling your neck around gently to stimulate blood flow.
Sing to yourself.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Singing is a beautiful way to gently open the throat chakra. If you feel self-conscious, sing to yourself quietly away from other people. You might even like to listen to music or watch a movie that makes you want to sing.
Do a throat chakra visualization.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Imagine a throbbing or swirling ball of luminescent blue light in your throat chakra area. Feel the ball of blue energy dissolving all blockages or aggressive flows of energy within you.
Spend time in silence.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
As counterintuitive as it may seem, spending time in silence can help you tune into your subtle inner voice. By allowing your inner voice to emerge, you will strengthen your throat chakra. Yogis often take vows of silence to help them communicate more freely with higher consciousness.
Practice being assertive.
Best suited to: deficient blockages
When you learn how to say “no” and speak up about your needs, you feel empowered. Assertiveness is a throat chakra skill that anyone can learn, no matter how timid you feel. Read more about being quietly assertive.
Finally, you might like to use affirmations such as “I express myself with confidence,” “I speak my truth openly and freely,” “I honor my opinion,” and “I speak lovingly,” to help you access your inner power.
Sound healing.
Best suited to: deficient and excessive blockages
Sound healing therapy is perfectly suited to purifying the throat chakra. Instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks influence us on a cellular level due to the special vibrations they transmit.
Final Advice.
After reading all this information, you might be wondering what you should do next.
I recommend picking a handful of activities from the list above that you’re naturally drawn to. Make sure you identify whether you have a deficient or excessive chakra blockage (or a mixture), and choose accordingly. Experiment with each healing modality for a couple of weeks and observe how you feel.
