Quintessence is defined as “the fifth and highest element in ancient and medieval philosophy that permeates all nature and is the substance composing the celestial bodies.” It is also said to be “the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form.” Thus bringing us to the throat chakra, traditionally referred to as Vishuddha. This energy center is connected to the ability and openness within your being to speak your truth in its purest form.
When imbalanced, you may notice blocks (physical or energetic) to effective communication.
The throat chakra, when in balance, allows you to express your creativity, speak words of love and compassion, and share your resonance with others.
