The key to balancing specific chakras is to focus on two things: the area of the body it relates to and the color it represents. The throat chakra is represented by the color turquoise. It’s the fifth chakra and is located at the base of the throat. Its Sanskrit name, Visdhuddha literally translates to purity and bridges the heart to the upper energy centers. Restoring balance to this chakra also regulates the thyroid gland allows fluidity of speech and ideas, clears creative blocks and creates a harmonious atmosphere to help you resolve tension between you and your loved ones or any other important relationship in your life.

So, what exactly does that look like? We’ve put together several suggestions to help guide you on your chakra-balancing journey. This includes practicing specific yoga poses to reset your alignment, mantras to bring awareness, crystals to channel high vibrations, scents to stimulate positive energy and even activities to harmonize throat chakra energy.

Your body absorbs the essence of what you put into it, so eating foods that are close to the color frequency of your throat chakra are greats way to balance from the inside out. Look for foods that are bright blue in color, such as blueberries and blackberries. Also enjoy foods such as apples, pears, oranges, peaches and plums. This is because they are considered “intuitive” food that clearly communicate when they’re at their peak, meaning once they are ripe, they fall right off the tree.

I feel safe to express myself.”
