Healing the throat chakra allows us to be able to communicate through speaking, writing, or other creative outlets. Speaking our truth allows the throat chakra to open up. When we are silent or when we lie, it becomes blocked. Communication is a two-way street. We not only have to speak our truth opening and kindly, but we have to be willing to listen to others when they speak. People often only listen to respond when those who are talking want to feel heard as well.
