Meaning & origin
Vishuddha
Also known as: Throat chakra; fifth chakra; Vishudha
Vishuddha is the throat chakra of communication, truthful expression, listening, and clarity.
About this symbol
Vishuddha is represented by a blue sixteen-petaled lotus with a circle and downward triangle. Associated with the throat and the element of space or ether, it symbolizes clear speech, attentive listening, and alignment between words and inner truth. The emblem supports themes of communication, voice, and creative expression. Esoteric reading: modern yogic and occult systems use this sign as a meditation mandala for attuning the corresponding subtle-energy center and contemplating its qualities. It is a spiritual map for practice, not an anatomical diagram.
