What I loved the most about her website, are these excerpts:

What Are Chakras?

“It’s amazing how much of our current day-to-day lives are affected by beliefs and traditions from thousands of years ago. Chakras, a concept from the beginning of Hinduism (from around 1500 and 500 BC) are a very important aspect or Tantra of Hinduism.

Chakra, meaning “wheel” in Sanskrit, refers to the wheels within us that are made of energy. Everybody has even these wheels that align along our spines. Each wheel is associated with a different color, organs, elements, gemstones, and emotions. These chakra wheels have been referred to as having important effects on our spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental health.” – Kate Curry, www.darngoodyarn.com

The Function of The Blue Chakra

"The blue chakra, Vishuddhi, is the throat chakra that is found in the dead center of your throat. This chakra is responsible for our ability to communicate, listen and effectively use our creative energy. Vishuddhi also helps connect your communications, openness, truth, self-expression, and ideas to help you become a more effective and empathetic communicator.

The throat chakra has an effect on:

• Jaws

• Teeth

• Throat

• Mouth Glands

• Neck

• Ears

The Vishuddhi chakra is also associated with gemstones:

• Turquoise

• Aquamarine

• Blue Opal

• Blue Howlite

• Chrysocolla "

- An excerpt from Kate Curry's blog on, www.darngoodyarn.com.

The Blue Chakra deals with the area of the throat. With regards to the chakras, the darker the color becomes, the more unclean that area is, in the body, the greater the need for that area of the body needs to be cleaned or "cleared", as they say in the New Age Philosophy.

Concerning the throat area, as that wheel of color is a particular shade of blue.

A healthy throat is a throat exhibiting the color of turquoise as seen above in the "Vishuddha throat chakra" display on www.colorexplained.

People exhibiting a youthful chakra have no inhibitions when it comes to living their truth and hearing the truth. They say what is on their heart and mind and respect other's opinions. They accept facts for what they are and use it towards their own understanding of their world and of the world they are living in.

If you were to ask them: " What color is the sky?"

They would answer: "Blue."

Symptoms of a healthy throat would be having a clear throat obsolete of every infection of any kind. They would also be able to sing better than any bird.

The color of an unhealthy throat would look like this:

People exhibiting unhealthy throat symptoms would portray as though their lives were better than others, when their lives are not. They tend to lie, cheat, and steal and choose to live "double lives". Walking around in public with the opposite sex, and in private, entertaining themselves with the same sex.

For instance, if their true nature was being "gay". They would live out loud as if they were "straight". Desiring the "Husband and Wife" Theory along with the "Picket Fence" Dream.

In this area of the throat [chakra], symptoms would range from as little as a sore throat to meningococcal meningitis.

If you were to ask them: What color is the sky?

They would answer: "Why do you ask? I don't know, maybe purple, orange, or gray...?"

While shrugging their shoulders and raising their hands up as if to say that they, "don't know".

Well, if you don't know, just say that you "don't know". Right?!!!

But people with bad throat [chakras], never will.

So here's the poem:

A HAIKU CALLED BLUE

Why Lie, Tell The Truth

When You Live Out Loud, Be Proud

Be True, Brave the Blue
