Throat Chakra Healing Smoothie
The Throat Chakra relates to speaking our truth, communication, and self-expression. If you feel you have a hard time saying no to others, standing up for yourself, and speaking your truth or expressing your emotions you may have a blocked throat chakra. Blue foods will help with self-expression. In addition to eating certain blue foods, to balance this chakra simply speak up and say what your heart is urging you to say! You’ll find that any throat issue will miraculously start to go away as you align yourself with your truths.
