SYMPTOMS
In the physical sense this chakra is associated with the shoulders, arms, hands, with the ears, nose, teeth, mouth and neck. A blocked chakra inclines you to be inconsistent, to lack self-expression and appear unreliable.
If there is an imbalance in the throat chakra, there may be an imbalance in your voice itself which may sound scratchy, dry or forced. You may also be considered somewhat “wishy-washy” depending upon who is speaking to you at the moment.
These types of people leave themselves open to being easily manipulated since they do not stand firmly on any issue one way or the other.
The flip side of this may also be true, which will manifest itself in you being very manipulative, and trying to sway others to your side for your own obvious gain. This may manifest itself in you also being very domineering and distant from others emotionally.
Even irritation toward others and the voicing of that irritation causes imbalance within all of the chakras, because the throat is the command center through which our creative forces flow to all life.
