Throat Chakra Basics

Please remember there are many different ways and things to do to activate and balance your chakras. This is very basic information and I welcome more input here. I am learning, too! Please give yourself the opportunity to investigate online, or find a book, as this information here is very, very basic. But please don't be afraid of this! This could be invaluable to your physical and spiritual well-being.
 
This image was made with the intention to help your Throat Chakra, which is located at the throat, neck and shoulders. This is the first of the chakras traveling up your spine that deal with spiritual aspects of your person.

It could be orange light, an orange flower or lotus, this orange image, or whatever you come up with, just get the orange color there.

Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) has everything to do with finding the truth, being authentic, being creative, speaking your truth with kindness, listening... Physically, it governs the throat, thyroid, neck, mouth, tongue and other anatomical components in the neck region. Imbalances here show up as negative thought patterns, difficulties with saying no, self doubt, pain in the area, thyroid trouble...

This is one way of working and maintaining balance with your chakras, by closing your eyes, taking deep breaths in a relaxed, meditative state, and imagining specific colors placed over or in your body along the specific main chakras.Whether you imagine blue light, blue swirling vortex, put the blue color over the Throat Chakra while taking deep breaths, for as long as you feel you can or is necessary. Of course this depends on your time or environment constraints.

There are two more main chakras.
