Best foods for the throat chakra
Written by Delilah Bisase, RD
The throat chakra (in Sanskrit ‘vishuddha’) is our fifth chakra and it’s all about honesty, communication, authenticity, and self identity. The energy of this chakra is masculine and is heavily centered around the way we show up in the world, and how we communicate our life purpose and passion to the people around us. Think of it this way. Pretend your dream is to be a nurse. The solar plexus chakra is what makes you take the action steps to manifest your nursing career, actions such as applying for nursing school and nursing jobs. In terms of communication, the throat chakra is what makes you proudly represent yourself as a nurse. A healthy throat chakra will make you say “Hey world! Look at me, I’m an awesome nurse and you can trust me with your health!”
Energetic blockages in the throat chakra manifest in poor communication, dishonesty, gossip, deceitfulness, fear of public speaking, poor listening skills, talking over or frequently interrupting others, and feeling misunderstood by others. Going back to our nurse example, a blocked throat chakra would make you feel too ashamed, timid, and afraid to ever tell anyone that you’re a nurse. When the energy in the throat chakra is unblocked and healthy, you speak your truth loud and proud!
Here is a list of the best foods to feed your throat chakra
Tree fruits
The energy of tree fruits resonate with the authenticity of the throat chakra. Tree fruits don’t fall off the tree until they’re absolutely ready. That is of course, unless a human intervenes. Otherwise when human intervention doesn’t get in the way, they part from the tree branch at the divine time that is right for them, and it doesn’t get more authentic than that.
