The Role of the Throat Chakra = Metabolism + Energy Balancing

This article shares a simple technique that you can use to give a boost to your metabolism and harmonize your throat chakra AND all of the energies it is managing. It is based on the teachings of Donna Eden, a gifted healer, seer, and the author’s most influential teacher of energy medicine healing.

The fifth, or Throat, Chakra is perhaps the most misunderstood chakra. Located in the throat, it is the connection between our sense of who we are inside, and how we represent ourselves out in the world. But this chakra represents so much more! It also is the bridge between our lower chakras, where we play out most of our daily “human” experiences, and our two upper “spiritual” chakras (in the sense of the energies that move through them) – our third eye and the crown chakra. In very simple terms, the Throat Chakra brings out your inner truth.

If the Throat Chakra is blocked or out of balance, you will see some of the following signs: difficulty expressing yourself; difficulty integrating spiritual experiences; poor learning ability; habitual lying; or fear, doubt and uncertainty. You can balance, unblock, and harmonize this critical chakra if you understand how energy flows through it and how you can influence that flow. First, let’s see how the Throat Chakra governs energy flows from the other chakras.

The Throat Chakra governs metabolism, which takes place at all levels down to events that take place in the cells. Beyond metabolizing food, this chakra also serves as the primary engine of metabolism for assimilating information (in the form of truth energy) from the body’s other six chakras. The Throat Chakra metabolizes a specific type of truth from each of the seven chakras so that it can be assimilated into information and built into a new synthesis. The value of having all of this occur in one place is that the truths of all seven chakras can be incorporated into the new synthesis.

This process of metabolism within the Throat Chakra can be described in terms of the commonly discussed notion of “yin” and “yang.” Metabolism—necessary for all life—is the unceasing transformation of matter into energy (catabolism, a yin process) and energy into matter (anabolism, a yang process). Ideally, there is a harmony between catabolic and anabolic processes, a yin-yang balance.
