The
throat chakra
plays an essential role in communication, creativity, and self-expression.


When thereβs an imbalance in this chakra, you may notice you have a harder time communicating effectively.Β This includes both speaking
and listening
.


If your throat chakra
is blocked
or unbalanced, you may be fearful about speaking your personal truth, have a harder time expressing your thoughts, feel anxious about speaking/communicating, and experience outbursts of emotion
or even the opposite: extreme quiet or refusal to speak
.
Emotionally, those with the throat chakra
imbalance may be highly critical of themselves and others.
Physically, symptoms may manifest as a raspy throat, chronic sore throat, mouth ulcers, gum disease, laryngitis, and thyroid challenges.
