It is fifth center of consciousness or plexus in the order of seven chakras and is also called “Throat Plexus”. This center is located at the throat and is associated with thyroid gland, lungs and respiratory system. There are sixteen nerves interconnected with each other to form a plexus with a circle inside and is associated with expression of truth as we know it in our heart. Expressing can be in the form of communicating what one wants and what one feels, or it can be an artistic expression as an artist painting, a dancer dancing, a musician playing music, using a form for expressing and bringing to the outside what is within. Expressing is related to receiving, as in, “Ask and ye shall receive.” Its element is sound and governs communication, expression of thoughts and feelings and the plexus that forms controls neck, throat, jaw, voice, trachea, bronchial system, upper lungs, esophagus and arms.
Abundance, therefore, is associated with this chakra, as is the aspect of unconditional receiving, necessary to accept the abundance of the Universe. This is the first level of consciousness in which one perceives directly another level of intelligence, and experiences one’s interaction with this other intelligence.
Main characteristic of such person is they are communicative and are gifted with emotional intelligence. Before they express their idea’s they clarify things within themselves. They have courage to stand by their opinions and they give true expressions to their ideas. They are likely to be gifted singers and actors and can excel in areas of academia and the sciences. They are never afraid of exposing their weaknesses and strength. The truth is their highest goal.
The energy that flows through this center makes a person loyal, trustworthy, affectionate, caring, tactful and calm whereas an imbalance in this center can make one unfaithful, self righteous, untrustworthy and cold. Some diseases and conditions associated with the Throat Chakra are thyroid, anorexia, asthma, bronchitis, hearing problems, tinnitus, mouth ulcers, sore throats and tonsillitis.
Spiritual characteristic of such person is they belong to faculty of higher discrimination. Realization coming into their consciousness through this center is from the higher level of knowledge. This center is also known as center of nectar and poison. The nectar is transcendental fluid or called “The Dew of Heaven”. An inactive center sends this fluid downwards without any impediment to be consumed in the fire of Manipur Chakra resulting in decay, degeneration and death of body tissues. When this center is awakened, the divine fluid is retained and utilized by the body tissues becoming nectar of immortality thus giving rise to youthfulness and regeneration of body.
This center is called Vishudha chakra for the reason that at this level, negative or poisonous aspect of existence get integrated with total being and become powerless. Their badness falls away and they get absorbed and transformed into a state of bliss. They become pure.

INSPIRATIONAL POETRY
कल जो गुजरा उसॆ भुलाके तो देख
आज के साथ जिन्दगी जी के तो देख
खुशगवांर होंगे हर आनेवाले पल
वक्त के साथ कदम मिलाके तो देख
----------------------------------------
ख्वाईशॊंमॆ जॊर हो तो आसमां की ऊंचाईभी कम है
कदमोमे हौसला हो तो काटोंभरे रास्तेभी कम है
इरादोमें ताकत हो तो मुश्किलों भरी मन्ज़िलभी कम है
खुदपे भरोसा हो तो इम्तिहानोका काफ़ीला भी कम है
-----------------------------------------
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज राहोंमे काटें है कल वह फ़ुलोसें भरा होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज ज़िन्दगी वीरान है कल सावनसे भरा होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज कदम कमजोर है कल ज़माना पिछे होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज सरपे धुप है कल प्यारका साया होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज ज़माना दुशमन है कल सारा आलम साथ होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज खुशीयाँ रूठी है कल कामयाबीका जष्न होगा
एक दिन ऐसा होगा कल आजसे बेहतर होगा
आज आशाऎं जगी है कल हर सपना सच होगा
आज के साथ जिन्दगी जी के तो देख
खुशगवांर होंगे हर आनेवाले पल
वक्त के साथ कदम मिलाके तो देख

ANAHAT CHAKRA THE SEAT OF LOVE
It is fourth Chakra in line of seven Chakra or plexus and resides at the centre of all of them. It is a point where twelve nerves conjoin together to form a plexus. It is also a balance point between the world of physical matter and the world of spiritual energies. It is located between left and right chest, above navel and below throat and the plexus that forms controls upper chest, lungs, heart, ribs, breasts, abdominal diaphragm, thymus glands and circulatory system etc.
Energy that flows through this Chakra is energy of love, compassion, kindness and the reverse of it hate, jealousy and hatred. This occurs due to unbalanced emotions that reverse the nature of energy. Unbalanced chakra also gives rise to low self esteem, unable to forgive others or self, over possessiveness, lack of empathy, over dependency on others, miserness, bitterness and indifference etc. Where as balanced chakra brings emotions of compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love for others.
Main characteristic of such personality is they are warm, loving, tolerant and compassionate towards others. Their hearts and hands are open to all and are true to themselves. They have ability to make world around them a better place to live and make contributions to the professions they are in. The energy of peace which they have in their heart brings calming and comforting effect on others. They have power of accepting people as they are.
In fact this chakra is a kind of a knot between physical world and spiritual world till it is awakened. Awakening of this chakra is a kind of freedom to escape from preordained fate and to determine one’s own destiny and freewill. It is completely beyond empirical dimensions. It is kind of wish fulfilling tree but is solely dependent on one’s consciousness rather than any external feeling of faith. Initially all negative feeling like pessimism towards life, fears etc that are trapped in this chakra start surfacing first. One has to be alert not to allow them to take complete control over his mind. They are just mental tendencies and fantasies of mind. Its awakening brings refined emotions which are characterized by feeling of universality and unlimited love for all beings.
Out of twelve nerves one nerve connects to heart and ancient yogis believed that that was an actual center of spiritual consciousness, called "the lotus of the heart," situated between the abdomen and the thorax, which could be revealed in deep meditation. In spiritualism it is called lotus seat of Atman or Brahma or Godhead or universal consciousness, the real seer unknown to us. They claimed that it had the form of a Lotus and that it shone with an inner light. It was said to be "beyond sorrow," since those who saw it were filled with an extraordinary sense of peace and joy.
Assuming our body as city of Brahman, there is the heart and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized. Even so large as the universe outside is the universe within the lotus of the heart. Within it are heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, the lightning and all the stars. Whatever is in the macrocosm is in this microcosm also.
Though old age comes to the body, the lotus of the heart does not grow old. It does not die with the death of the body. The lotus of the heart, where Brahman resides in all his glory is the true city of Brahman. Brahman, dwelling therein, is untouched by any deed, ageless, deathless, free from grief, free from hunger and from thirst. Brahman is passionless and indivisible. He is pure. He is the light of all lights. His desires are right desires, and his desires are fulfilled. If the body is thought of as a busy and noisy city then in the middle of this city, there is a little shrine, and that, within this shrine, the Atman, our real nature, is present. No matter what is going on in the streets outside, we can always enter that shrine and worship. It is always open.
Upon awakening of this chakra an aspirant can hear the sound of AUM like humming of a bird. Our scientists have proved that no sound can occur without collision or impact. However occurrence of sound AUM heard at this chakra is produced without any collision or impact. It is because of this phenomenon, this chakra is called “An-Ahat” or chakra that produces AUM without any impact. OM is almost certainly the most ancient word for God that has come down to us through the ages. It has universal sense, implying no special deity. It is the most sacred word of all. But what really matters is that we should appreciate the power of the “Word” in our spiritual life; and this appreciation can come only through practical experience.
