The process

Vishuddha (विशुद्ध) is the sanskrit name for the throat chakra which represents speech and purity; the endocrine system; and purification. When it’s open, one has the ability to turn negativity in to wisdom. It’s a chakra I find I need to work on opening.

Traditionally, Vishuddha is associated with the elephant; but as I search for my own personal meanings I thought I’d relate it to my favourite little creature: the bat. Bats use their voices in order to navigate the world and their wisdom comes from the directions they choose to fly. They can quickly correct a bad move and learn to not do it again. They’re smart, they’re quick, and they are pure.
