Speak your truth. The throat chakra includes throat, tongue, ears, and neck. The color is blue and the element is sound or space.
Interestingly, the throat chakra is coordinated with the developmental stage of early adolescence as we learn to speak up for ourselves. The challenge is this stage can be confronted with lies both obvious and subtle from loved ones, authority figures, and peers. It takes a discerning practice to sift through the information received to understand the truth.
The Sanskrit meaning for the throat chakra is "cleanse the poison", understanding not everything heard and spoken is truth. The ABC (awareness, body, choice) of somatic healing continues to be a useful tool to decipher the frequencies and information filtered through our body.
