If a psychic is having problems with this Chakra, she/he is probably having problems with “reception”. This area also tells you when you should be speaking up and you aren't...through a sore throat or laryngitis.

When this Center is awakened:

• The individual will become aware of increased telepathic abilities.
  
• The knowledge of Universal Laws comes in
  
• It will have the ability to transmit thought waves to other Centers.
  
• Increased ability to express and communicate the “truth” of things as the really are...unique and distinctive.
  
• A strong desire to relate to relate to others the awarenesses and growth processes that are being experienced. (The relating of these experiences may result in the loss of old friends who find it impossible to relate to the “new you”. By the same token, many new friends will come into your vibration.

When the Throat Chakra awakens, the Clairaudient (clear-hearing) faculty comes into play. You may hear voices, music and other sounds. When the Chakra is completely awakened, it allows the person to be Clairaudient as far as the Etheric and Astral Planes are concerned.

When the color Lavender comes into the Throat Chakra, the Voice of the Soul is communicating with the individual.

Those who experience a balanced Throat Chakra energy will be observed as being entered, living in the now, a good speaker, prolific, and able to meditate and easily understand spiritual teachings as they are resented.

Those who experience an excessive Throat Chakra energy will be observed as being arrogant, dogmatic, self-righteous, addictive and will talk too much.

Those who experience a deficient Throat Chakra energy will be observed as being scared, timid, weak, unreliable, devious and inconsistent.

The Thyroid Gland, situated above the line of the shoulders, is instrumental as the site of the Power of Voice or the Will. Its hormonal activity is responsible for either the laxity found in not having the will power to avoid food, for example, or for inspiring activity in worthwhile ventures.

If the Throat Chakra is not in balance, some of the dis-eases that may be experienced are:

• Sore throat
  
• Stiff neck
  
• Cold-flu
  
• Thyroid problems
  
• Hearing problems
