Before looking at the 5th chakra, please be sure to read the What are the Chakras and how do I align them? article to get familiar with what the chakras are.
The fifth chakra is called the Throat chakra. The color of it is blue. This chakra is concerned with communication, truth and one’s personal voice. Each of these will be discussed at a deeper level for further innerstanding.
Communication is not only what we say. What we do not say is also a part of communication. What we say and the way we say it affects our throat chakra. The intent used when saying it matters as well. How we accept communication from others (verbal and non verbal) is another part of communication. How we react to things we do not like as well as how we react to things that we do like or are in agreement with also affect the this chakra. How effective we are at expressing our feelings and thoughts, as well as how effectively we listen to others when they express their thoughts and feelings has a lot to do with the throat chakra.
Another element associated with the throat is truth. How comfortable one is with their truth as well the truth of others, whether it agrees or agrees with their own. How closely one is connected to their truth is very important with this and every chakra.
One’s personal voice is the last main element of the throat chakra. This aspect deals with the communication from within, how one speaks to their self in their own head and how this voice translates to the outside world. To be in tune and to honor your personal voice is a quality all should develop while on this spiritual journey of life.

One can also do their best to speak up when necessary and keep quiet when necessary. mastering the art of knowing when to speak as well as how to and when not to speak and how not to go about doing it are essential. Approaching every situation from a standpoint of compassion, innerstanding and love.

Therefore, they each help with communication, nonetheless, they each carry their own special abilities as well. For example, larimar, blue calcite and aqua aura quartz will all help with communication. Furthermore, larimar can also help one with anxiety and road rage while blue calcite can help one create lucid dreams and aqua aura quartz can help one communicate with the angelic realms.
