The throat chakra is also the part of the chakras that are used for resonance.  This resonance is for both hearing and being.  It is associated with the sixteen petal lotus with how the aura is shaped.  The aura color of the throat chakra should be a pale blue when cleared.  Some will also see a silver and turquoise color aura that is associated with the throat chakra. 

If a Reiki instructor is working on your throat chakra, they will first place their hands by your collarbone and throat.  For females, this energy can be cleared by rotating left, and for males, the Reiki practitioner will rotate right.  Many say that this will not only affect the throat, but also the thyroid and parathyroid glands. 

Other Reiki practitioners may use Reiki toning when clearing the throat chakra.  The attunement, or mantra, that is used to clear the throat chakra is the ‘ham’ sound.  This allows for a vibration to change the energy flow in the communication center. 

Other Reiki healers may use gemstones in relation to the communication chakra.  The best gemstones that can be used include aquamarine, turquoise and chalcedony.  These gemstones can either be gently placed on the persons’ throat chakra, or they can be placed in different areas where a person rests, which will clear the blocking over a longer period of time.  Several practitioners may also use aromas to help with this clearing.  Sage and eucalyptus are known to be the best methods of clearing with the communication center.  These aromas will then move into the energy center of the throat and help in removing the blocks. 

When you are attempting to clear the throat center, it is said that four to five hours of sleep on either the right or left side, helps with the clearing.  It is also said that having visions of water and sky is a common practice and may also help with the clearing of this center.  When you clear the throat chakra using different attunements, it helps you to communicate better.  It will also help with a couple of the lower glands in relation to this.  Reiki methods that are used in order to clear the blocked energy in the throat chakra will allow for this portal to open to the rest of the body.
