I intended to do crystal tips for the throat ages ago because the throat is highlighted for the whole of 2019. Now the year is almost half gone, so I thought I’d better find a few tips for clearing throat chakra issues before the year disappears completely. Things may be coming up now because we have the combined (and very powerful) energy of Saturn and Pluto working together to bring about a massive clearing of all our systems – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Absolutely nothing is exempt!
To clear a blocked throat chakra – place a sodalite on each side of the throat and use lapis lazuli on the chakra to cleanse it. Keep the crystals in place for as long as you feel you need to. Or you can simply use a Lapis on the throat on its own. It will still work… just a little differently without the sodalite. You’ll know what is best for you!
Layout to help the throat – Keep the crystals in place for as long as you feel you need to.
- Single terminated clear quartz at the brow chakra – point upwards
- lapis lazuli at the throat
- smoky quartz at the solar plexus
To strengthen your voice – use carnelian at the throat chakra and if possible wear it as a necklace so the energy is available continually to clear the vortex.
Another useful stone to work with is chrysocolla. This stone brings the throat and heart chakras into balance because it carries both the blue and green rays. Its key phrase is sacred sound and it is the expression of the heart through the throat. So, this makes it an enormously powerful stone for any kind of clearing work. You can use it on each chakra individually, or if you have two pieces, use it on both chakras at the same time.
Also, always remember that the throat chakra is more than just the chakra of verbal communication, it is a channel for the expression of all the energy you hold in your entire system – chakras, the aura and the subtle bodies. It acts as a pathway for all the things you think and feel to come up and out. Both negative and positive energy will pass up and down your chakra system, ending up at the throat, and it will just stay there until you release it… in many ways, of course.
It’s never just about speaking. The throat chakra is about full self-expression, and that can come in any form e.g. if you are musical, it will clear through when you sing or write or listen to music. Don’t ever let yourself be limited by the idea that this work is only about the voice. If you are a caring person, and caring is important part of who you truly are at a fundamental level, you won’t always be expressing this particular aspect of yourself with your voice. You won’t be speaking about it. You will be getting on and doing it, won’t you?
You need to allow yourself to become aware of every part of you and how this needs to find some kind of expression in your life. There are many aspects of the real authentic you which do not need the voice and it’s about discovering new ways to show the world who you really are and what you are truly capable of… and this chakra is all about being unafraid to do that….. in every conceivable way!! So, if anything is stuck in that throat chakra, you need to clear it, so more of you can come out to play!
To help you do this, you can either work with the crystals shown above or use any blue crystal that appeals to you because that is the frequency held in your chakra system by the throat. And, use your crystals with the very clear intention that you want to find new and exciting ways to communicate – and that is communicate with yourself, communicate others, communicate your ideas and beliefs, communicate on a deep emotional level by finding safe and appropriate ways to express how you feel more clearly.
And, if you feel you need to be in a calm space before you can even think of doing any of this – work with aquamarine. It emits the frequency of peace, so it will help you remain calm while you work your way through all the blockages that come up. Its energy will also help you release the negativity in a gentle way rather than a traumatic way. It is a beautiful stone. It is also a stone associated with water, so it will initiate flow, especially within your emotions, and enhance the whole clearing process.
Lastly, one stone which works well with the throat is turquoise, mainly because the key word associated with it is wholeness. And, since the throat chakra is the way we express every single part of us, well, this is just the perfect energy to place in this charka. You can meditate with it to become aware of:
- blockages in the throat
- blockages elsewhere in the chakra system or the subtle bodies that are affecting the throat
- things you need to change in the way you communicate
- ways you limit your self-expression
- ways you can bring the quality of wholeness into your life
- ways to communicate more easily and freely
Of course, those bullet points are only the beginning. Everyone needs to become whole in their own unique way. But, they may give you a few ideas that you can work with on your own journey towards wholeness. It’s the same journey all of us are one… every single day of our lives.
Bright Blessings!
