Yes, I know I’ve been pretty quiet these past few months. I’ve been using my ‘voice’ rebuilding a new and improved website. While most likely still a month away, this is just an early warning. If you pop on the site and it says not available, know that it will be shortly, the change will be happening. And not to worry, your user accounts and orders will be transferred. You will need to create a new password on your first login. but hopefully it will be smooth sailing in the transition.
When thinking of the Throat Chakra, I think most of us assume it’s natural use is that of speaking, but it is so much more. Good communication actually has two parts. It is not only speaking, it is also listening. In speaking our truth, we allow everything from our other chakras to be known!
Sometimes that can come out in how we write or create art (2nd and 3rd Chakras), how we give love and care (4th and 7th Chakras), where we gain insights (6th Chakra), or how we make our home safe and grounding, (the 1st Chakra). If we are not happy with what is coming out, yes the 5th Chakra could use some work BUT we also need to get to the real issues in other areas.
Blue Aragonite, while it was always a pretty one to me, I never took the time to explore all it had to offer – which is A LOT! Gosh, do I say that about them all? hahahaha
This little gem has helped me the past few months to incorporate new ways of doing things dispelling what I thought were limitations. Keep in mind that I AM a Taurus, so that does not always come easy. While there has been a bit of back and forth, forward progress did happen.
5th or Throat Chakra
Color of light blue
Sanskrit: Vishuddha
While Blue Aragonite can help at the Heart, Throat and Brow Chakras, I have found it seems most suited at the Throat. It seems to really help us to clearly express ourselves with kindness and compassion. Since this Chakra is the voice of our body, it also assists in expressing the energies of our other Chakras.
The Crystal System…
Blue Aragonite is part of the Orthorhombic Crystal system. It’s coloring is a pale blue leaning to almost turquoise. It is formed from physical and biological processes in fresh water or marine environments. It is a fairly transparent, slightly brittle rocky friend and is rated at a 3.5 to 4 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. The surfaces of pearl and mother-of-pearl is actually a layer of Aragonite from mollusks and other related invertebrates.
While Aragonite can be found in several colors, the blue shades are generally found in Morocco, Nambia, Australia and in the U.S. The Aragonite name has come from its discovery location of Aragon Province of Spain.
