Im translating from a Swedish site here 4 u:

The throat chakra..
IT IS THE GATE TO TIME AND SPACE...

Sanskritname Vishudda means "to purify" / To clean.
Vishudda is seen as the fifth chakra from below..

The fifth chakra is the throatchakra and it is united with the gland that regulates our energyresources.
The chakra has to do with the throat, the jaws, mouth, (dont know the name for the area where we swalllow) and our ears..

Both physically and psycic this chakra has to do with SOUND - therefore it is natural that the sense belonging to this chakra is to hear/listen, the sense that register sounds...

The throat chakra is the centre of expression, sounds and the capability to listen..
The throat chakra is just between the body and the head;
and often the head says one thing and the body and the emotions says another..

That is when when we end up in conflict with our self, and that is when the throat chakra determins
what will come to expression - the feeling or the reason...
(the "sense" haha as we call it, not our senses as in plural - interesting huh - my note)

Often the conflict between sense and our feelings are so big so we dont say anything at all,
then we block the energy very effectivly..
which will lead to stiff neck, pain in the throat, headache and how well we can process food
(dont remember the word, how much energy this gland in the throat is helping us balance out..)

Blockage in this chakra might lead to us finding life as dull and plain.. boring..
We cannot understand that others dont understand us.. our self..
You can often HEAR on others if their throat chakra is balanced or not,
the voice can be tense, high or relaxed and comfortable..

When there is a good activity in the throat chakra you can give expression to anything you feel,
and you find it easy to communicate with others..

The colour of the throat chakra is BLUE.

The place of the throat chakra symbolizes "the narrow road" -
from here, the individual path which demands us taking position, descisions;
which has to do with our TRUE LIFE MEANING...
Here our PERSONAL egos need for security and safety/controlneed is replaced with trust and conviction.
The higher self is given place/space.

The chakra has SIXTEEN crownleafs..
The symbolic animal is ELEPHANT..

As the petals of the throat chakra open...

You enter into the space of "your highest" truth and creativity.
The throat chakra is an instrument with which we communicate with
the angels, masters, guides, the spirit world and the physical world.
Its basic function is expression and communication...
at many levels and all the formats.

Thought forms, internal dialogues, verbal and non verbal expression, art,
desires, intentions...are all different forms of communication .

Communication brings the desired results.
Imbalance at the throat chakra creates distorted communication.
And distorted communication is the root cause of all the struggles in life.

Once this is understood, and some effort is directed towards
opening the throat chakra, you step into your personal power - your core truth.
Truth liberates... And it's Your Truth that sets you free.

DEFINITION:
Identified as the THROAT Chakra or Aura-center by Yoga, this energy-plexus encompasses essentially the Throat, Mouth, Tongue, Nostrils and Jaw areas, any or all of which can become 'sore' or traumatized by a crisis over ONE'S PERSONALITY AND HOW TO "WEAR" IT. Since the Throat is housed in the Neck, the bones and muscles of the Neck and Shoulders also respond to Throat-Chakra crises.

This Chakra connects the physical body to the famous ASTRAL PLANE.. connected with 'out of body experiences' and Soul Travel as well as such Astral skills as distant-healing and Hypnosis. The Astral Plane is 'occupied' by the Astral Body of Asian Metaphysics, which the ancient Egyptians called "the Khu" (which means "Shining One" and "glorious Intelligence.") According to the Egyptians, this "body" is an eternal part of our makeup, and can travel about, visiting others on earth as well as the gods in their heavens. The Astral Plane like the Khu is named for the "Shining" or STAR-LIKE LIGHT which is it's appearance to the eye.
