WHEN UNBALANCED:
When blocked a person may find themselves shy, insecure and socially anxious in groups, unable to express themselves or listen well. When overactive a person may speak aggressively or without thought, interrupting or speaking over others, needing to dominate conversation, have the last word or a need to be right. Could also present as trust issues.
WHEN BALANCED:
A balanced throat chakra leaves us free from the fear of judgement, and free from the need of approval from others. One whose throat chakra is balanced possesses the confidence to express their thoughts and feelings with clarity. Communicating easily and authentically flows naturally. You ARE the gentle power that speaks your inner truth and listens carefully to all the beautiful sounds of the universe.
