45 Powerful Throat Chakra Affirmations to Speak Your Truth

Sharing is caring!

If you’ve ever felt like your ability to express yourself authentically, to have your voice heard and to speak your truth confidently is something you struggle with, your throat chakra might be in need of some TLC.

The throat chakra (also known as the Vishuddha chakra) plays an important role in the area of honest communication and self-expression, so when this chakra is blocked or dysregulated, these areas take a hit.

Thankfully throat chakra affirmations are a powerful tool that can help restore this chakra into balance so that you can regain the ability to show up as your authentic self in the world.

Since embarking on a journey of energy healing many years ago, it has been clear to me that my throat chakra is one of my most stubborn chakras to work with…

My personal experience of early and repeated trauma, some of which resided in the area of communication and self-expression, means that this area is something that I’ve always struggled with.

For me this has consistently shown up as having my words or boundaries dismissed, feeling misunderstood, social anxiety, a crippling fear of public speaking, and many more symptoms of a blocked throat chakra that we’ll discuss later in this post.

I used to think this was a life sentence. But, despite this chakra being a stubborn one for me, I have seen progress in these areas through the necessary healing work, including the use of affirmations.

The truth is, our bodies are adaptable. And just because something has always been the case that doesn’t mean it always will be the case.

So if you think you may be struggling with a blocked throat chakra then know that this is not a life sentence. Through energy healing work and throat chakra affirmations you can restore balance to this area in time.

In this post I’m sharing with you 45 powerful throat chakra affirmations that can help you on this journey. I’ve selected these affirmations to help you release anything that is standing in your way of communicating with your fullest expression.

So whether you’re looking to become a more confident speaker, express your emotions more openly, or feel more able to show up as your authentic self, these affirmations can support you in getting there. Let’s dive in!

What is the throat chakra?

In yogic traditions, chakras are energy centres in the human body.

The word “chakra” itself roughly translates to “wheel” or “disc” in Sanskrit language, because these energy centres are often thought of as spinning wheels of light responsible for regulating prana (energy) throughout the body.

The throat chakra, known as the Vishuddha chakra in Sankskrit, is the fifth chakra in this seven chakra system.

It is thought to be the bridge between the lower chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus and heart) and the upper chakras (third eye and crown), connecting the physical aspects of our being with our more spiritual characteristics.

Throat chakra location and characteristics

The throat chakra is located at the base of the throat and is represented by a blue 16 petaled lotus flower.

It is primarily associated with communication skills, self-expression and creativity.

And when you have an open or balanced throat chakra, you will be able to express your thoughts, ideas and emotions with ease and confidence. You will feel able to live as your authentic self and let yourself be heard.

Not only this, but you will be able to hear others.

In other words, you will also be able to listen and hold space for other people to communicate their own authenticity, and show up with the empathy and compassion needed for effective communication in all of your relationships.

Signs of an imbalanced or blocked throat chakra

When there is a blockage or dysfunction in this chakra however, you will struggle in these areas.

You may feel unable to express yourself effectively, feel misunderstood, suffer from social anxiety, have fears of public speaking and even experience throat-related health issues…

These symptoms can vary depending on whether your throat chakra is UNDERactive or OVERactive.

Underactive throat chakra symptoms

You can think of symptoms of an underactive throat chakra as being characterised by lack in the areas of communication and self-expression ie. not enough energy flowing here.

Some signs you may be suffering from symptoms of an underactive throat chakra include:

• Difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions: struggling to put things into words or feeling like there is something physically blocking you from speaking these words out loud
• Difficulty saying “no”: struggling to set necessary boundaries and verbalise them with others
• Feeling unheard or ignored: your words “falling flat” or feeling like they are often dismissed or ignored
• Social anxiety and fear of public speaking: experiencing fear and anxiety when speaking in front of others and expressing yourself in group settings
• Struggling to be authentic: feeling like you mould yourself depending on who you are around, and not letting others see your authentic self
• Repressed creativity: thwarted creative expression and lack of creative ideas
• Difficulty listening to others: along with struggling to empathise with perspectives other than your own
• Throat and neck issues: physical symptoms in the throat/neck area such as sore throat, neck pain, thyroid gland imbalances, swollen glands or feeling of “frog in your throat”

Overactive throat chakra symptoms

You can think of symptoms of an overactive throat chakra as being characterised by excess in the areas of communication and self-expression ie. too much energy flowing here.

Some signs you may be suffering from symptoms of an overactive throat chakra include:

• Excessive talking: feeling uncomfortable with silence, dominating conversations, and not giving others a chance to speak
• The tendency to interrupt: butting in when others are speaking and talking over others to ensure your thoughts are heard and expressed
• Oversharing: talking about things that may be considered inappropriate and trauma dumping without considering others boundaries
• Talking for the sake of talking: gossiping or engaging in conversation you’re not actually interested in
• Talking to impress: seeking validation by telling stories or even exaggerating details and achievements to sound more “impressive”
• Difficulty listening: often because in conversation you are thinking about what you want to say
• Blunt or argumentative communication: communicating insensitively, often disguised as “brutal honesty”, arguing or debating for no real reason, and dismissing other people’s opinions
• Discomfort in the throat: sore throats and hoarseness, maybe due to talking or shouting

If any of these signs ring true for you (and especially if several apply), you might have a throat chakra imbalance that needs addressing.

You might also find that you resonate with signs from both the underactive and overactive throat chakra symptoms lists, and that’s because throat chakra imbalances can cause your energy to flit between flowing too little and flowing too much.

The throat chakra has been my most stubborn energy centre to heal, and I know myself that I often oscillate between having an underactive throat chakra and having an overactive throat chakra.

The goal in balancing the throat chakra is to have not too much or too little energy in this area, eventually levelling to a place that feels “just right”.

And thankfully practices designed to balance the throat chakra remain much the same whether the chakra is currently underactive or overactive. 

Such practices may include throat chakra targeted meditations, breathwork, practising effective communication, singing, chanting, throat chakra yoga poses, and of course throat chakra affirmations.

Disclaimer: please remember that while throat chakra energy work is generally safe and well tolerated, it is still important to seek medical advice in the case of any physical or mental symptoms to rule out any medical causes that may also need addressing.

The power of positive affirmations for chakra healing

So now that you know the signs of a throat chakra imbalance, why should you use affirmations for chakra healing?

Affirmations are positive statements that are repeated to help us connect to a certain energy that we want to embody. Chakra affirmations are specifically tailored to each of the seven chakras to help you connect to that particular chakra’s energy.

Affirmations remain one of my favourite methods for chakra healing because they have powerful influence over our energy, which can bring our chakras back into balance.

One of the ways in which they do this is through the power of neuroplasticity ie. our brain’s ability to adapt and rewire based on repeated or significant activity.

On this basis, the more we engage with and embody the energy associated with chakra affirmations, the more readily we can reprogram our subconscious mind, embody this energy naturally, thus bringing our chakras back into balance.

With the theory of the Law of Attraction, this also means that the more we engage with and embody a certain energy, the more of that energy we will attract. Therefore, by practising throat chakra affirmations we can invite in throat chakra healing energy which will bring our system more into balance.

And one of my favourite things about affirmations is that they’re so easy to use and incorporate into your regular routine. With very little effort (but with repeated use), you can get truly astounding results.

Other practices like yoga for chakra healing are powerful beyond any doubt, but they require much more effort and dedication, which can be a barrier for someone in the depths of a rut or very imbalanced chakra system.

How to practise throat chakra affirmations

By now you may have already identified some signs of a throat chakra imbalance in yourself, and are looking for ways to practise throat chakra affirmations to balance this energy. And of course you’re in the right place.

As I mentioned before, throat chakra affirmations (or any chakra healing affirmations in general) are super simple to add to your routine, which is one of the reasons I love them so much for chakra healing.

As a general rule of thumb, follow these tips for powerful results using your throat chakra affirmations:

1. Choose affirmations that resonate

The first step in getting powerful results with throat chakra affirmations is to work with affirmations that resonate.

Don’t feel like you have to use all the throat chakra affirmations in this list. In fact, I would actually recommend working with 1-3 affirmations at a time, that apply to the specific energy you want to work on embodying.

This is because real results from affirmations rely on you truly feeling and embodying the energy that comes from them. In order to do this, the affirmations have to resonate.

So take some time reading through the throat chakra affirmations in this post to really see which ones land for you. Then write these down to continue working with on your healing journey.

2. Repeat with conviction

As I just mentioned, feeling into your affirmations is key, especially when it comes to chakra healing.

So when repeating your affirmations you really want to make sure you are saying the words as if you believe them to be true in the here and now. In other words, act as if you already embody this energy.

Practising in front of a mirror and saying the words out loud is the best way to help you to speak your affirmations with more confidence, but you can also say them in your head if you prefer. Just make sure your inner voice is also one of conviction.

3. Use visualisation

Visualisation is an important step in truly embodying the energy of your throat chakra affirmations.

As you read your affirmations, visualise a blue light radiating from your throat/neck area. As you repeat each affirmation, see if you can imagine this blue light expanding and becoming stronger.

You may also choose to visualise anything that helps you embody the energy of your chosen affirmation more strongly.

For example, you might imagine yourself speaking confidently on a stage.

It is also helpful to feel into your body as you do this. See if you can connect to how the words feel into your body, pay attention to your body language and adopt a posture that is self-assured.

4. Practise daily

The key to working with any affirmations is to practise regularly. 

Try to make practising throat chakra affirmations a part of your daily routine while you are working on throat chakra healing. This repetition is what will allow for changes to occur in your energy system.

My advice would be to incorporate them into your morning routine at the very least, when you are most receptive to shifting energetic states.

You might also choose to keep throat chakra affirmations around your space or on your digital devices as frequent reminders to embody this energy in your daily life.
