The Chakras: The Fifth Chakra (The Throat Chakra)
The fifth chakra: Throat Chakra or Visuddha Chakra
When working with the throat chakra, work with communication, self-expression and creativity. Inner hearing, the power of choice, self-awareness, harmony, maximalism, dishonesty, and the inability to express emotions also belong here. Suppressed feelings, thoughts, unspoken words, wearing a mask, shallow chatter, open and honest communication are related to the throat chakra. If there are problems with the neck, nape of the neck, ears, bronchi, upper lungs, arms or thyroid gland, the throat chakra is responsible.

Sound therapy
The form of the music: music and singing rich in semitones, as well as sacred and meditative dances have an extremely invigorating effect on the neck chakra. Soothing New Age music enriched with echo effects is best suited for harmonizing and relaxing the fifth chakra. It brings relief and opens our inner hearing.
Vowel: the throat chakra is activated by the sound "é". It should be sung in the place of the "g" sound on the scale. If we move slowly from the sound "á" to the sound "i", after a while we will reach the sound "é". Just as the throat forms a connecting channel between the head and the body, so the "é" sound of the throat chakra connects the "á" and "i" sounds with each other, and leads the forces of these two sounds to the outside world. When singing the sound "é", we can observe how much force is required for this. The sound "é" activates the power of "expression" in our fifth chakra.
