Throat Chakra Organs
by Kathleen Karlsen, Author of Vocal Medicine
The throat chakra organs are the power center for the body and spirit. There is a legend that goes as follows: when the human body was being created, God was trying to figure out where to put the power center so that His creations would not misuse this energy. So the power center was hidden in plain sight in the throat. Here we would qualify energy for blessing or bane with every word spoken. Thus, the throat is our greatest vulnerability and greatest strength.

Organs of the Body & the Throat Chakra
The physical organs associated with the throat chakra are the following:
- thyroid gland
- vocal chords
- trachea and esophagus
Throat Chakra Organs: Thyroid Gland
When I first began chanting, I had been on thyroid medication for over twenty years. Healing my thyroid took conscious effort on many levels…. Go to the Throat Chakra Symbol article to watch a video of the full story!
Throat Chakra Organs: Vocal Chords
The key voice apparatus is the area in the larynx called the vocal chords. The vocal chords are ligaments shaped like a “V”. These ligaments vibrate when we speak or sing. The vocal chords are about as long as the lines that would be required to draw a triangle on the front of a penny. The vocal chords also vibrate about the depth of the penny. On the psychological level, “losing your voice” may result from refusing to communicate, feelings powerless, or pushing yourself beyond your capacity.
Throat Chakra Organs: Trachea and Esophagus
The trachea is also called the windpipe. This tubular passage is the airway connecting the mouth with the lungs. The trachea is a combination of cartilage, muscles and elastic tissue. The esophagus is a collapsible, muscular tube behind the trachea. The esophagus transports food to the stomach. This is the organ that helps us to swallow our food. Problems with the esophagus can be related to “swallowing” grief, anger or hurt. Acid reflux (also known as “heartburn”) is a common disorder that affects the esophagus. Some studies suggest that more than 15 million Americans experience heartburn symptoms every day.
