| THE FIFTH CHAKRA Throat Chakra Location: Meaning: Function: Element: Color: Sanskrit Name: The Fifth Chakra is the sixth cervical vertebra. This is the posture of the neck. Some of the areas that it supplies are the neck, esophagus, mouth, portions of the lower jaw, shoulders, tonsils, and the neck lymph glands. It has a few fibers that go to the heart and carotid arteries. This zone, if misaligned, may cause severe emotional disorders. Many fears and insecurities can be corrected with proper body alignment and diet. THE FIFTH RAY The Fifth Ray is the "Healing" ray and is blue. This throat Chakra is the one that slows things up for the healing process. I find many "upset" people complain of a "lump in the throat". These people need the calming color of blue and a correct dietary regime. We go to the blue fruits and juices - blueberries, blackberries, plums, damson s, and blue grapes. If the person is depressed, splashes of red and yellow can be combined with the blue for stimulation. But for a very "up" person, blue is the best color to have around.
