Essence
Aligns authentic expression with the courage to speak one's truth. It works through the Throat chakra (Vishuddha), the seat of authentic expression, clear speech, and the integrity of spoken truth. Under Mercury (Budha)'s influence, aligns the throat with authentic communication, supporting the courage to speak clearly and the mind's alignment with truthful expression. Reach for it when navigating communication, abundance, clarity.
