The heart chakra which you learned about yesterday is the bridge to the upper chakras. When the first four chakras are in balance, it creates a bridge into the higher or spiritual chakras. Let’s jump into the fifth chakra!

Chant Mantra
Write down your values and speak them out-loud to yourself.
Create a boundaries worksheet - On a piece of paper, draw a circle, inside this circle write down the things, activities, work and people in your life that sustain and heighten your vibration. Next - outside the circle write all of the things, activities, work and people that would be an invitation only, into your inner circle. This helps you create healthy boundaries so that you can speak your truth and say no when you need to say no and yes when you are ready to say yes.
Drink spearmint or peppermint tea.
Use peppermint or spearmint essential oils on your throat to help nourish the throat chakra.
