I’ve always found healing stones to be so interesting. I’ve never owned one but I love learning about the different stones and their properties!
So interesting: thyroid, respiratory system, teeth, vocal chords — I believe I have a thyroid condition, struggled with asthma, have beautiful (but weak teeth) and took voice lessons but struggle because of the crazy tension I carry in my throat. Never once thought about caring for my chakra. So excited to try some of this!
So glad it was useful to you:)
Wooow. I have always heard about healing stones till you threw more light on it and made me understand and know more.
Thanks Rawlings
I’ve never tried healing stones. I guess I’m not a believer, but I would try them to see if they work for me.
Interesting. I have heard of chakras before but never throat chakras, so this was new to me.
This was very interesting. Was wondering how this would work or help with someone who has had throat cancer. Been through radiation treatments.
Give it a try…it may bring you some positive energy
I’ve heard a lot of great things about healing stones. This is more information than I knew about them. Very interesting!

I used to be interested to learn about Chakras and all the energies related to it but life got busy and I sort of forgot about it. It’s nice to know about the Throat Chakra.
