The 7 major chakras are energy centres that connect your spiritual body to your physical body and are like a whirling vortex of energy, they are your powerhouse of energy that governs your physical body.

Other ways to restore balance in the Throat chakra
Truth! To bring balance to your Throat chakra can be as simple as learning to speak your truth. This doesn’t have to be out loud to people until you are ready to do so, but instead practice speaking your truth in private. Simply the act of speaking will raise your vibration. Always speak your truth with love. Do not speak in anger or retaliation as this is speaking in fear and lowers your vibration. Instead take advice from Buddha who said, before speaking ask yourself “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?” … Think before you speak!
