The Fifth Chakra: Throat Chakra
In this chakra, an open throat chakra sounds like talking, speaking what is true, manifesting, rituals, prophesy, and expression of emotions. It could also take on something like writing poems. If you like poetry, try out translated poems of Rumi or Hafiz. You'll find their poetry deep, beautiful, simple, and sometimes downright humorous!
Laughter and singing are great ways to open the throat.
Yoga pose: Try Matsyandrasana (aka Fish Pose)
http://www.yogajournal.com/posese/786 Just make sure to not crunch your neck, and if you need to, start with the chin tucked towards the chest, lowering the head slowly. Remember, your head weighs a lot in contrast to the "string of pearls" representing your spine. Dangling 14 - 18 pounds off that string should be done gently and carefully. At home, you can try using a soft folded blanket for support under the neck, so you can stay in a more supported, or restorative, fish pose.
