CHAKRA

THROAT

The throat chakra is the fifth chakra, and it tells us: ``I SPEAK``. Its note is G, and its sound KAM. It is associated with communication and expression of the self. The throat chakra's role is to help us move beyond judgement to access discernment. Its element is the ether and therefore it sees to the proper circulation between the physical chakras in the lower body and the metaphysical chakras, by giving us the ability to listen, transcribe and choose.
