According
to the Hindu culture, this chakra is described as having a white color with 16
purple or smoke-colored petals. Within the pericarp is a sky-blue downward
pointing triangle containing a circular white region like the full moon. This
represents the element of Akashi or aether.
Vishuddha
has 16 purple petals upon which are written the 16 Sanskrit vowels in golden;
अ a आ ā इ i ई ī उ u ऊ ū ऋ ṛ ॠ ṝ
ऌ ḷ ॡ
ḹ ए e ऐ ai ओ o औ au अः ḥ अं ṃ
NB:
Some vowels listed above do not strictly correspond to the grammatical
definition of a Sanskrit vowel, specifically ॡ
ḹ, अः
ḥ, and अं
ṃ. See Sanskrit Phonology for details.
The
petals correspond to the vrittis of the mantra Ong [Aum], the Sama-mantras, the
mantras Hung, Phat, Washat, Swadha, Swaha, and Namak, the nectar Amrita, and
the seven musical tones.
The
bija mantra (seed sound) is the syllable हं
haṃ, and is written in white upon the
chakra.
Vishuddha
is positioned at the neck region, near the spine, with its Kshetram or
superficial activation point in the pit of the throat. Hence, it is also known
as the throat chakra
Located
between the shoulder blades. Vitalizes the lungs and voice. Communicates
the concrete thoughts received from the Solar Plexus.
The Throat Chakra is associated with the parts
of the consciousness concerned with expressing and receiving. Expressing can be
in the form of communicating what one wants and what one feels, or it can be
artistic expression, as an artist painting, a dancer dancing, a musician
playing music, using a form for expressing and bringing to the outside what was
within. Expression is related to receiving, as, "Ask, and ye shall receive."
The
throat chakra is associated with abundance, and with the state of consciousness
called, "grace," where it seems that what you want for you is also
what God wants for you. Accepting what the abundant universe offers you
requires a sense of unconditionally receiving.
This
chakra is also associated with listening to one's intuition, and flowing in a
particular way where it seems that the Universe supports you in all that you
do. It is the first level of consciousness from which one perceives another
level of intelligence functioning, and one's interaction with this other level
of intelligence.
Parts
of the body associated with this chakra include the throat, shoulders, and arms
and hands. and the thyroid gland.
The
sense of hearing is associated with this chakra, and the element of ether, the
most subtle physical element, corresponding to what we find in deep space. The
ether is the crossover between the physical and the spiritual dimensions.
Someone looking at the world through this chakra watches the manifestation of
their goals. The Will Arm represents manifesting what you want, and the Feeling
Arm represents manifesting what makes you happy. Hopefully, the two point to
the same thing.
This
fifth chakra deals with the power of the spoken word. Discernment, discretion
and compassion coincide with purified spiritual thoughts. The beautiful sound
of creation of your voice harmonizes with the Divine creating a wondrous flow
of music to the heartstrings of the people around you.
When
this chakra is clean one feels complete unshakable peace. Strength in one's
higher divine self. When two people mix these energies from their throat chakra
they will talk together actively and intensely. If one tries to dominate then
the color turns dark. Dark ogres or power symbols will appear as mentioned
previously in the Solar Plexus Chakra. When there is no desire to dominate the
most beautiful blue color appears (as seen from the higher realms). Within this
color symbols of strength and solidarity appear, like a beautiful sword.
There
is humor when there are no negative forces at work. It is one of the most
important of God's qualities...humor. A good joke may be a good idea when the
conversation becomes a bit unpleasant. We all know that humor is disarming.

three YIN or female energy chakras of the body. You can inflict pain or
kindness with the voice. What is more important to know is the voice represents
our "Intent". We will decree a thing and it will be so. Therein lies the
mystery of manifestation. As Louise Hay states in "You Can Heal Your
Life", ..."where thoughts go, energy flows." Our life
experiences comes directly from our thoughts, then speaking it, then our
actions. Inherent within every intention and desire is the mechanics for it's
fulfillment. The voice had great organizing power.
