_______
Energy is always flowing and this is a known fact. It has been proven by quantum mechanics that energy is associated with all matter and is always in a constant motion even when matter is at rest.
Ancient teachings also suggest that we all have something called the energy body where energy is in constant motion and it flows through energy channels called nadis or meridians. Energy flow is vitally important. It dictates our health, happiness , emotional and spiritual well being etc. Hence by reading a person’s energy level , we can get to know how happy or healthy they actually are.
Then how do our chakras come into play?
Just like we have organs in our physical body, chakras are major points in the energy body where there is a large inflow and outflow of energy. These are basically like whirlpools of energy in our energy body. Hence , it suffices to say that by reading these chakras, we can actually read our energy level in the energy body. [Energy Body is one of the subtlebodies that we have. To know more about the other bodies we have, you can read this blog – What is an Aura ]
When any chakra in the etheric body has excess energy flowing through it, it is said to be overactive and when less energy flows through a chakra, it is underactive. When just the right amount of energy flows through a chakra , it is said to be balanced and it is strong.
This is the reason that understanding the functions of each chakra and healing these chakras are important because by healing these major energy points, we can heal the energy body and subsequently the physical body.
Let us now understand what are the psychological functions associated with each chakra and how each chakra relates to our personality. In this blog we will discuss seven major chakras and how they influence our personality.

When the throat chakra is balanced, a person is able to speak his personal truth with ease and is able to convey it in a right way. However, when a person cant express what is truly happening due to fear of someone’s rejection, conflict , misunderstanding etc., they block this chakra and it is difficult to open this chakra again. They are afraid they can’t handle the feeling of rejection, conflict, misunderstanding, or disharmony and avoid expression . In this case, it is better to acknowledge these feelings and express them , as then it becomes easier to handle.
When in doubt, before communication we can ask ourselves these three questions
- Whether what you are going to say it is true
- Whether what you are going is kind
- Whether what you are going to say is necessary
If you are not able to express something due to underlying fear or criticism, we can always express ourselves by writing in our journal, through art or some form of creative expression.
People with strong throat chakras are usually good inspirational speakers, singers, writers or anyone involved in the creative arts. They also like to innovate things and think outside the box. They also love their freedom so much. So they are mostly entrepreneurs or someone who manage their own work. They want to change the world through their visions. They are visionaries .
