Blue Chakra

The blue chakra, or throat center, is located at the throat and its projection has a slight orientation downward. Its functional domain includes all aspects of expression, for blue is the center of expression for one's will. Thus it rules hormonal and metabolic activity through the thyroid and parathyroid glands, blood pressure through the carotid bodies, vocal expression through the larynx and muscles of the throat, tongue and jaw, and the motor and sensory nerve output/input to and from the arms and hands (so they too can function as organs of expression).

Damage in the blue chakra occurs when one's expression is blocked in some shape or form. "The gag order" with sexual abuse is a common example, and there are many other ways we have learned or been told to hold our tongues and not speak our truth. Blue is like the sky and the air and permeates almost everything, thus is very good at connecting and communicating. It is the deep blue color of the sky on a crisp, cold, clear winter day. Blue balances the red and is a higher octave of certain aspects of the red energy.

By looking at how the blue chakra manifests as a fourth level presence gives us understandings of its essence. People with blue in their fourth level will often be good writers, public speakers, musicians, artists, teachers and salespeople. They may manifest either side of the coin as either "chatter boxes" or very quiet. Blue is a very functional chakra to have present in one's fourth level given the way the world is and is more common than green or pink in the 4th level (but not by a lot).
