About the throat chakra
Vishuddha sits at the throat, and its element is ether, or space: the openness through which sound travels. It is the most sound-shaped of all the centres, the place where breath becomes voice.
Its themes are expression and truth: saying what you mean, and meaning what you say. Practitioners are quick to add that the throat is also the centre of listening, since honest speech and real attention to others belong together.
Working with it through sound
Voice is the natural instrument here. Humming or chanting along with a tone, feeling the vibration in the throat, is one of the oldest ways of working with this centre.
Which frequency is the throat chakra?
In the Solfeggio chakra map, 741 Hz is the throat's tone, associated with expression, clarity and clearing.
