The throat chakra, also known as Vishuddha, is the fifth primary chakra located in the neck area. This chakra is associated with communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak truthfully and authentically. When this chakra is balanced and open, we can easily express ourselves and communicate with others. However, when it is blocked, we may experience difficulty in speaking our truth, fear of speaking in public, and a general feeling of being misunderstood.
