I grew up in a “children should be seen and not heard” environment. Not good. As a result I’ve been fairly shy most of my life, fearing judgement for what I say or do. I was also plagued with sore throats as a child and into early adulthood. When I began studying the chakra system, I quickly learned that those sore throats were a result of my throat chakra being blocked. Energy was blocked there because I was afraid to speak up or speak my truth in fear that I would be humiliated or criticized. That blocked energy manifested itself as a fear of speaking my truth as well as sore throats. I urge you or anyone you know, especially children, who has recurring sore throats to think about whether or not you are they are afraid to speak up or speak their truth because those feelings may be blocking the throat chakra and causing sore throats. Once the throat chakra is cleared, it’s amazing how the sore throats and fear of speaking go away. How do you clear your throat chakra?
Well, here is where the beautiful mineral blue kyanite enters. Kyanite is the color of our throat chakra, blue. Minerals and gems that coincide with the colors of our chakras contain a very real and pure measurable energy force that works to heal and clear energy blockages in specific chakras. After researching several minerals and gems, I decided to buy a piece of blue kyanite to hold when I meditate, to keep on my nightstand when I sleep, and to sometimes carry with me depending on the situation in which I find myself in order to feel comfortable speaking.
Wanting to heal and clear my throat chakra, I started holding the kyanite in my hands and on my throat during my daily meditation. I also envisioned a brilliant sky blue lotus flower opening in my throat during part of my meditation. Finally, I made a point to repeat the phrase, “I speak and write my truth with dignity” several times throughout my meditation. (Your throat chakra also relates to writing).
I also keep the blue kyanite on my nightstand so that it is always there sending me healing vibrations every night, and I carry it with me if I know I’m going to be around aggressive or loud people who might cause me to feel uncomfortable speaking in their presence. If you are a public speaker, you might find it helpful to hold blue kyanite against your throat for a couple minutes as a means to clear stagnant energy before you go on stage. This practice may very well help you to give easy-flowing meaningful speeches or talks.
Have I had success with kyanite? Yes, most definitely. I had myself doused about six months ago (dousing is a process in which you find out which of your chakras are open, semi-open or closed) and my throat chakra was wide open, causing the pendulum to swing in wide circles in that area. I predicted that would be the case because I have felt a difference in how I communicate. Specifically, I have no problem saying “no” when I need to, whereas before I was the stereotypical “yes” person, over-extending myself. I’m also feeling the freedom that comes with not feeling obligated to constantly explain myself. I used to feel guilty about saying “no.” So, I would compensate by explaining why I said “no.” Now, a typical response might be, “No. I don’t have the time to volunteer at the school breakfast.” That’s it. No further explanation needed.
My success with kyanite was a three-step process that I find works well with almost all outcomes that you intend to manifest: First, set your intention. My intention was to free myself from not feeling comfortable speaking my truth. Next, be receptive and pay attention when guidance comes. My guidance came in the form of an article about gems and minerals that was delivered directly to my inbox which inspired me to learn more about kyanite. Then, put into action what you learn. So, the healing that I have received from kyanite was a combination of my intent, learning about and utilizing the vital energy given off by kyanite, and then putting into action what I felt and learned.
You can easily find blue kyanite at gem and mineral shows and on-line. It is fairly inexpensive. The piece in my picture cost about $12.00. You can also find lovely pendants made of it if you would like to wear it.
If you’re not feeling comfortable speaking or having trouble writing consider getting yourself a piece of blue kyanite. Give your attention to the kyanite and think about why you have it. Utilize the steps I outlined above. You just may be surprised at the results.
As alway my writing is my own based on personal experience and research, and the picture was taken in my home of the kyanite I bought at The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

I see your reward posted. Congratulations.
Never have trouble with throat or voice. My listening could be
improved. I need to be more like the wise old owl. "the more he heard, the less he spoke, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Ha

Thank you very much. Great quotation. I work on listening, truly listening and giving my undivided attention, too.
Thank you this is a really good post. Seems English is my second language sometimes a have this problem with expressing myself.
Wow! Thank you so much. You expressed yourself perfectly!
I am still learning.
We all are!
@weq <3 Great Article! Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us and for taking the time to explain the power of kyanite along with some of the ways in which we can put this medicine to use :) Resteemed.. Much Love as always! Namaste
Thank you. I appreciate your very kind reply.
Upvoted and resteemed this well written and insightful article. This definitely resonates with me today! Thank you for writing it!
Thank you so much.
I love kyanite. I have a couple of pieces. I love the texture of the rocks along with the color. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Yes, it is beautiful.
Excellent post!! I also love working with crystals for healing. Coincidentally, I picked up a piece of Kyanite a couple of months ago. I am recently encountering a speech impediment as an adult from opening up and healing a brain injury from childhood... it is starting to really affect my communication. Thanks so much for pointing out such a good use for this stone... I'm going to work with it as you describe. Thanks so much! Upvoted and following...
Thank you for your reply. The stones, gems, crystals and minerals can be powerful. When I first started learning about them, I kept thinking, "This is the stuff we should have learned in school." I am so glad that you are finding success in healing with crystals. I look forward to following to your post!
I love crystals so much... and I've found that they really really contribute to healing if you work with them. This morning I dug out my little blue kyanite to work with it - I'm carrying it as I speak, thinking of this article and my speech issues. Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind reply :)
Very interesting indeed ! This experience and feedback can help a lot of people....thanks for sharing ;-)
Thank you.
i think i need to put a few good sized chucks of sodalite on my computer desk to focus one as I write
My daughter and I have a collection of crystals, some we have actually found along river beds. One of my favourites is kyanite, and one of my fave kyanite pieces pieces is a rough sample, shaped like the wing of a crystal bird it also glitters along its axes.
Also, be careful handling rough kyanite as it is brittle and sharp and can cut you.
Hi there. I've been away, so that is why I am just replying to you now. Thank you for your response. Yes, kyanite is very brittle! Very cool that you found a piece shaped like the wing of a crystal bird. Going out and looking for crystals and stones and other treasure with children is fun and creates great memories. My kids are teens now, but they both still have that spark in them to look for treasure. We were recently at the beach (we live in Tucson, so going to the beach is rare for us) and my kids looked for shells and stones and crabs... Simple pleasures! Thank you, again.
