About the throat chakra

AKA Vishuddha chakra

The fifth chakra is the throat chakra, also known as the Vishuddha chakra. It is located along the spine at the level of your collarbone, governs the throat and neck area of the body, and is considered one the "main chakras".


The throat chakra is the energy center associated with your ability to communicate and to express – and accept – the truth. It gives a voice to the heart chakra, acting as a bridge between your heart (heart chakra) and your mind (third eye chakra and crown chakra) and allows for authentic self expression. The throat chakra is represented by the color blue and is associated with the element of Ether or Sound.

Throat chakra healing

If your throat chakra is imbalanced, it's important to work to bring it back into alignment, because a clear throat chakra is one that allows for clear, honest communication and authentic expression of self, as it creates an open link between heart and mind.


Working with throat chakra stones will help the proper amount of energy flow through your throat chakra. Throat chakra healing can bring harmony to an under- or overactive throat chakra, and may help with physical ailments associated with the throat.


Many throat chakra stones are reminiscent of the throat chakra with their blue color, a color of peace, clarity, and communication. The vibrations of these healing crystals assist in strengthening self expression, communication skills, and encourage clarity.


To use throat chakra stones, place the crystal on your upper chest, near your throat area, while meditating. Keep your throat chakra stones close throughout the day to bring a continuous flow of energy to this center of personal power and spiritual connection.

Healing crystals for the throat chakra


Amazonite

Calm • Harmony • Truth

With a name that hails from the Amazon River in Brazil, this blue stone has been an important part of cultures of old, including ancient Jews, ancient Egyptians (it’s found everywhere from King Tut’s tomb to the Egyptian Book of the Dead), and the perhaps-mythical-maybe-not ancient Amazonian warrior tribe.


Amazonite is believed to be a powerful amulet, tempering aggression, soothing anxiety, and bringing the truth to any situation.


Lapis Lazuli

Truth • Peace • Wisdom

A blue stone of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, Middle Eastern royalty, and European nobility, Lapis Lazuli has a long history of prominence and importance, with use dating back to over 5000 years ago. Lapis Lazuli has been used as ornaments and decoration, powdered for medicine and eye makeup, and even as an antidote for snakebites.


Believed to bring out the inner "king" or "queen" in all of us, use Lapis Lazuli to connect with your own higher consciousness. It also acts to encourage honesty when speaking and writing and is a powerful stone for stimulating creativity.


Sodalite

Truth • Insight • Meditation

Named for its high content of sodium, Sodalite is a blue stone that forms in igneous rock. It's special for its blue color, as blue is not a common color for rocks and minerals, and often includes white veins of Calcite. But be careful – it's often confused with Lapis Lazuli.


Sodalite is one of the most popular throat chakra stones, but it has correspondences with both the Throat chakra and Third Eye chakra. Blue Sodalite is one of the best crystals for evoking honest communication and assisting in public speaking. It connects the wisdom of your third eye chakra with your throat chakra, making it supportive of thought processes and mental wellbeing, as well as connecting with and developing a connection to intuition and psychic gifts, as well as to enhance creativity.


Tanzanite

Heal • Intuition • Compassion

Displaying a brilliant color blue or blue-violet, Tanzanite is a trichroic crystal. This means it can appear as any of three colors depending on the angle from which it is viewed. It is rarer than a diamond. Tanzanite is only found in an area of approximately 3 square miles at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Scientists believe it is highly unlikely that they will ever be found elsewhere due to the extraordinary geological circumstances that led to their formation.


Tanzanite is associated with the throat chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra as a healing crystal that opens the pathways between heart and mind. For assisting the throat chakra, Tanzanite makes it easier to speak your heart's truth and grow stronger in self-awareness and self expression.


Turquoise

Expansion • Unity • Expression

Turquoise has been used in everything from jewelry to decorative objects to weapons since 5000 BC, making it one of the oldest stones used by humans. It is an unmistakable green or blue stone come from its copper and iron content. Dark veins of the matrix rock it formed in or around are also common.


Turquoise is a beautiful stone associated with wholeness and manifestation, promoting overall well-being. It stimulates and harmonizes the throat chakra to make sharing your inner wisdom and truth seem effortless.


Blue Kyanite

Alignment • Peace • Connection

As a high vibration stone, Blue Kyanite is associated with the Third Eye Chakra and has been said to encourage psychic gifts and even telepathy when used with another person. Its name comes from the Greek word "Kyanos" meaning blue – a fitting name as this light blue stone occurs in a wide range of hues from translucent, light blue to a deep sapphire like color.


If you're looking to do some inner work or fortify a relationship, these are the blue stones for you! This powerful blue stone is great for having hard conversations, helping bring conflicting energies into harmony.


Blue Calcite

Intuition • Clarity • Peace

Calcite is made of calcium carbonate and is one of the most common minerals on earth. It is a soft mineral that occurs in massive or rhombohedral form. Blue Calcite is less common than some other colors and is found mainly in Mexico and South Africa. Some specimens from Pakistan have white and brown Aragonite inclusions; these are called Caribbean Blue Calcite.


Blue Calcite is a soothing blue crystal associated with the throat chakra. It works to bring about emotional balance, as well as block negative energy, while working to enhance your ability to express ideas.

It was first documented in 1922, but its location was lost for 75 years shortly after until one devoted rock hound, Paul Obenich, spent 45 days hunting for it along the coast of Madagascar and discovered it at the base of a cliff, only accessible by boat.


Energetically, Ocean Jasper encourages you to go with the flow and reveals insights into your emotions. As a throat chakra stone, this works to improve communication, bringing an urge to speak freely.

The Best Crystals for Each Chakra

When choosing chakra stones to work with you'll want to look for crystals that have the same energetic quality as the chakra when it is balanced. For example, if you wanted to work with crystal healing for your first chakra or Root Chakra, you would look for stones that are known to remove negative energy and possess grounding properties.


Each of the seven chakras also has a corresponding color. So you might start with finding a chakra stone that also has this hue. For example, many Crown Chakra crystals are clear or white as this chakra is represented by the color white.

How to Use Crystals for Chakra Healing

Chakra healing stones work by resonating with the energy of specific chakras, helping to restore balance and flow. Each chakra is associated with a specific color and energy frequency, and certain stones are believed to correspond with each chakra.


For example, amethyst is associated with the crown chakra, while citrine is linked to the solar plexus chakra. By placing these stones on or near the corresponding chakra during meditation or energy healing sessions, they can help to clear blockages and restore balance.
