During a holiday, I had the pleasure of getting a henna tattoo, a beautiful and intricate art form that sparked curiosity among my friends. As they admired the patterns adorning my skin, many of them began to ask about the significance of henna and what it represents. This prompted me to delve deeper into its meaning, traditions, and the cultural richness behind this timeless practice, which I am eager to share with you now.
The Sanskrit vowels respond to the vibration of the nadi:
am, ám, im, ím, um, rm, lm, lm, em, aim, om, aum, am, ah.
I invite you to listen to it in one of my videos: ‘Atma Sapphire’
Vishudha is the laryngeal or throat chakra, it is also called Daath. The presiding deity of this chakra is Sadasiva and the goddess Shakini. This chakra is located above Sushumna, at the level of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Along with the sexual chakra, it is one of the fertile energy centers of our body, since the sexual chakra is responsible for biological fertility and the throat chakra for creative or artistic fertility. Of course, it is related to the vocal cords, the voice, speech, the symbols of language, the quintessential human medium of expression. It is also related to the shoulders, arms, and hands, the elements commonly used to produce, work, and create.
It is one of the most important energy centers, related to our ability to make decisions and be responsible for them. A balanced person knows they cannot blame others for their mistakes and accepts responsibility for their own choices.
Our relationship with language and creativity is each individual’s responsibility, and of course depends on the evolution of our consciousness. A person with healthy Vishudha development will avoid being manipulated by others, as they will be fully aware of their freedom when accepting other people’s words or gestures. Just as the passage of food through the throat is a voluntary act—we choose what we eat—each person is responsible for what they accept and what they give in terms of communication and creation, and the resulting karma. Speech is a medium of emotional and mental content, and allows for exchanges of giving and receiving.
Just as someone deprived of food for several days is likely to eat anything without considering whether it’s safe, those who are hungry for affection will accept or make any word or gesture as long as they’ve been considered by others. This extreme vulnerability puts them at risk of aggression or manipulation and reflects an imbalance in the chakra. People with blockages in this chakra experience difficulties with empathy, vocal cords, emotional conflicts—such as shyness or excessive introversion—or mental conflicts—difficulty structuring their thoughts and translating them into words—which can cause isolation and antisocial behavior. One of my teachers used to say that it’s much more important to be “kosher” with what one says than with what one ingests. That is, if instead of a blockage there’s a violent manifestation of the energy associated with this chakra, the person may be used to aggressive, harsh words. We must deliberately avoid slander, lies, backbiting, and criticism fueled by envy, jealousy, or resentment, which are corrupt and unpleasant materials that soil both the sender and the recipient.
Furthermore, one of the virtues of this chakra’s energy is the ability to communicate; physically, gesturally, or bodily, through intuition, or even telepathically. When we express goodwill, love and peace, empathy and solidarity, these are gifts we give to ourselves and to others. Working with this chakra encourages us to practice luminous, useful, and positive communication, and to have greater discipline and understanding about what we give and receive from others. It reminds us that we are not alone, that words are a vehicle and a link with others. It allows us to communicate and listen to needs and responses, to learn to “put ourselves in another’s shoes,” and to strengthen empathy.
It is through words and our creativity in general that we explain to ourselves what is happening, and with this we construct ideas and values to structure our lives. The greater the balance in Vishudha, the greater the harmony in our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives.
