Vishuddhi chakra, the home of speech, is associated with all forms of creative expression as well as with nurturance, since the throat is the gateway for both food and speech. Sandy explores the various aspects of this chakra—the active and cognitive senses associated with it, why its symbol has 16 petals, how it is related to the element of space, its connection to the endocrine glands in the throat area, and how imbalances in the energy of this chakra manifest in our lives. She also suggests specific pranayama, asana, and other practices for working with this chakra.
