Fifth Chakra
Vishuddha "Pure"

The fifth chakra is about faith in others and our own higher Self. It gives us the ability to follow the guidance of our Self, to submit to the will and guidance of the Cosmic Consciousness. We overcome the fear of losing our physical satisfactions and gratifications. It is the gateway of the dissolution of the individual self with the Source. The purification center of choice where the sacred truth is Surrender Personal Will to Divine Will.
