When Throat Chakra is Blocked

Chakra’s are evolving energy sources within the subtle body. As such, they can be deficient (closed/blocked) or excessive (open). When a Chakra is deficient, not enough energy is flowing. This could express itself as feeling tired, sluggish, or listless. When too much energy is flowing, you might feel aggression, agitation and even project these feelings onto others. Here are some things to look for when Crown Chakra is out of balance.

Being verbally aggressive and hurtful towards yourself and others

Difficulty listening to what others are saying. Also interrupting people when they speak.

Struggle to put thoughts into words and have difficulty expressing your true nature, thoughts and opinions.

Feeling anxious, shy or upset during conversations with others.

Very over-opinionated, have a tendency to lie often and gossip frequently (too open). On the flip side, if your Chakra is too closed you have difficulty finding your voice and expressing any opinion at all.

Fear criticism and judgement. This can inhibit your abilities to be yourself around other people.
