Every person has seven chakras, of which the fifth chakra is called the throat chakra. The fifth chakra physically affects your throat, mouth and ears. It also affects hormones produced by your thyroid, which in turn are important for your metabolism. Your fifth chakra is also important in expressing your emotions. You can balance your fifth chakra with activities that use language or explore your creativity.
Where is your fifth chakra located?
Your fifth chakra is located at the level of your throat. That is why your fifth chakra is also called the throat chakra. To be a little more precise, your fifth chakra is located in the crook of your neck.
How does your fifth chakra influence your body?
Each chakra affects a number of specific body parts. Your fifth chakra affects your throat, mouth, teeth, jaw and ears. If your fifth chakra flows too much or too little, you may notice this in a sore throat, voice problems, neck problems, tooth or jaw problems or deafness. This does not apply the other way around: if you experience one of these complaints, the cause does not necessarily have to lie with your fifth chakra.
How does your fifth chakra influence your hormonal system?
Each chakra also influences a specific (endocrine) gland that secretes a certain hormone. The gland affected by your fifth chakra is your thyroid glands. The hormones produced by the thyroid gland (also called T3 and T4) play an important role in the metabolism and growth of children. The hormones ensure that cells are stimulated to use more energy.
How does your fifth chakra influence your emotions?
Your fifth chakra is the chakra when it comes to expressing emotions. Sound we make comes from our throat. And many sounds are an expression of emotion. We sing in joy, sigh in sorrow, growl in anger, and shout in pain. Someone with an underdeveloped fifth chakra may have difficulty having a conversation or making a phone call, for example. Someone with an overdeveloped fifth chakra always wants to be the center of attention and uses their voice as a weapon.
What can you do yourself?
Someone with a well-functioning fifth chakra can express their emotions well. It makes you an open, honest and honest person. Any activities that use language can help you balance your fifth chakra. Consider, for example, reading novels, writing poems or learning a new language. Activities where you use your voice can also help, such as singing. And it is also important to express your emotions. If you find it difficult to talk about it, you can also do so by painting, drawing or writing. Find your own creativity and show who you are!
