A balanced throat chakra:
The throat chakra in balance allows us to speak and be heard. We can listen to others and respond well. Our individuality is fully expressed, as is our truth. We have the ability to accurately communicate the truth of our experience, to witness and meet another’s truth, and to approach life creatively and effectively.
