The Throat Charka (Vissuddha) seeks communication and clear expression.The Throat Chakra-is about finding peace. This Chakra helps brings our own truth into the world, and to aid us in communicating how we feel and think.

Feeding Your Throat Chakra-

The throat chakra is a transmitter of truth, freedom, and clarity. It is located in the throat and neck region of the body and extends

upward to include the lower region of the brain or cortex.

This area of the physical body holds the communication center, and the gateway to inner and outer worlds.

What does your Throat Chakra need so you can fully express who you are?

Speaking One's Truth

· Sea plants: sea weed, dulse flakes,

· Fruit: lemons, limes, grapefruit, kiwi, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc

· vegetables:

· Liquids: water, fruit juices, herbal teas

· Spices: salt, lemon grass

· Herb: Frankincense

· Flower: Morning glory

· Eat high quality, local, organic—think about the spiritual energy that is in what you eat—do you really want something that is hurting, not treated with love?

· soups - By eating foods like soups (earth-water elements fused together through fire), we encourage and honor our connection with the elemental nature of foods and our bodies.

Eating soups can open up the throat chakra area and create more ease in eating. Eating spoonfuls of soup compared to bites of food may help us to slow down and be more in the moment

· Ethnic food/new tastes- It exposes you to an abundance of tradition and culture. It broadens not only your food horizon, but helps you to step out of the box of your everyday living!
