If your Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra is blocked you may feel insecure, but also weak and not able to voice your emotions. This imbalance may also emerge as a dread of speaking in public or even freely discussing personal matters with individuals you know. Alternatively, you might talk in a low voice that is difficult to hear.
A blocked Vishuddha chakra may cause you to be hesitant or unable to speak out in order to protect yourself, convey your views, or communicate your choices. When confronted with uncomfortable talks, you may choose to remain silent rather than speak out. While the Throat chakra is connected with being hushed, an imbalance in the other way may be indicated by an excessive urge to speak or ramble on without a clear goal.
The person does not feel fully confident, nor does he or she have the right words to express and articulate effectively what it truly means to express. When this chakra is blocked, it is difficult to make the right choices and have a clear life path direction to follow.

They will often forget to tell you something important, and they cannot find the words to express their emotions. They would not find the words to express their feelings and emotions.

You have the power and capability to change what is not working if you choose. This chakra is unlocked by total acceptance of your uniqueness and expressing your creativity.
Build your courage to say what you think. Be confident in your ability to contribute meaningfully to the discourse. Spend time each day while being aware of your own thoughts and emotions so that you may effectively communicate them to others. Individuals who are afraid to talk because they do not believe their contribution is valuable should not be concerned. What is essential or desirable to one person may not be to another, and what is significant to one person may be more important to another.
Communication involves a lot of listening. Only when the other person develops confidence that you understand him, will he be ready to understand you. Most of the times we are so anxious to convey our point or afraid of not being heard, that we do not ultimately listen. Ironically, such behaviour makes it all the more likely we won’t be heard. Be mindful in every conversation and try to understand what the other person is trying to convey to you.
