Situated at the base of the skull and physiologically related to the Pharyngeal Plexus, the throat Chakra is concerned with expression, voicing thoughts, feelings, emotions, poems, invocations, rituals, speeches, and prophecies. This is where we express ourselves or where expression gets blocked. This Chakra relates to how we communicate verbally with others, through speech or song.

Chinese healers pay particular attention to the voice and relate it to their five element system.  The groaning voice which is associated with Water and fear, the weeping voice to Metal,  grief and suffering, the singing voice which is Earth and sympathy and empathy, the shouting voice which is Wood and anger and frustration, and the laughing voice which is Fire and joy and happiness.

Besides our appearance our voices are what are most remembered by others. The voice evokes an image which is often more true, than the way we look or our body language at the time due to us hiding our true feelings so as not to make eye contact. The voice has tremendous power, to heal, to hurt, to invoke images in others for good or bad. We can all be seduced by a rich deep voice and repelled by a whining one. Our voices also express power, mythology claims that the stone megaliths of Stonehenge were raised by chanting alone. As witches we raise the cone of power in circle through chant and dance.

The throat Chakra is related to the colour blue and light blue is used for this Chakra.
