Why Kundalini Energy Gets Blocked in the Throat or Chest

September 20, 2026

Background

Guru Sanju explains that Kundalini awakening is fundamentally connected with becoming an individual and gaining freedom of expression. She teaches that when a person continually suppresses what she or he genuinely feels, the energy can become blocked in the throat and chest regions. These blockages then appear through restricted expression, compromised breathing, contraction, posture, and an inability to live freely.

She connects the throat chakra with speaking truth and expressing the soul, while the heart chakra is connected with love, expansion, and doing what makes a person feel alive. Her approach combines truthful expression, self-love, natural surroundings, an open body posture, movement of the five pranas, and medical evaluation where physical symptoms are present. Ultimately, she teaches that freedom from these blockages requires courage, confidence, truthfulness, and a willingness to live life fully.

Freedom of Expression Is Central to Kundalini

Kundalini awakening happens mainly to make you an individual, and freedom of expression gives you the expression of freedom. If you are not utilizing this freedom, your energy is bound to become blocked in your throat chakra.

This means you are not speaking what you feel at the moment you feel it. Kundalini wants to take you out of the matrix. The matrix means the mind, and the matrix also means the world in which you live.

You do not have to physically leave the world to become free. You can use the resources of the world and remain practical on earth, but live according to your own conditions and your own terms.

Do Not Compromise the Expression of Your Soul

You should not compromise on the expression of your soul. Speak your words the way you want to speak, and speak when you feel what you feel.

If you feel angry, be angry completely. If you want to show your anger to someone because that person has done something to you, speak to that person in the same manner. If you feel someone is being an idiot, express that instead of compromising your soul’s intelligence.

If your parents are not intelligent enough to guide you properly and are misguiding you in life, you have the right to speak for your soul and your rights. The same applies to your spouse, friends, neighbors, boss, colleagues, surroundings, and anyone with whom you interact regularly.

Express Yourself in the Present Moment

When you begin expressing yourself truthfully, you can experience tremendous unblocking of the throat chakra. Most blockages happen because you do not express yourself in the present moment. You keep your expression pending for the future.

You keep waiting for something to happen later before you say what needs to be said. This has to stop immediately.

If you are not using your throat chakra to express your voice, you will live a very mediocre life. If you want to breathe well, your throat chakra has to be open because your breathing is highly affected when the throat chakra is closed.

The Throat and Chest Affect Your Breathing

I connect the throat chakra with the air passage and the esophagus. When this region is restricted, you take in less oxygen and exhale less carbon dioxide.

The chest can also become compressed because of blockage in the heart chakra. The heart chakra is connected with expressing love, expressing yourself as life, and expressing yourself as the soul.

This means doing the things you love to do, the things that make you feel great and expanded. When you do these things, you feel that your soul is expressing itself through life.

Self-Love Means Giving Yourself Priority

Healing yourself should be your first priority. Practice self-love. Self-love means giving yourself priority.

Become selfish in life. By selfish, I mean taking care of yourself without being bothered by what others in the matrix or the world think about it.

The problem is that when you begin taking better care of yourself, people may judge you and make you feel guilty about it. This is exactly what Kundalini does not want you to do. Kundalini wants you to live life in full glory and full freedom.

Open Your Throat and Chest Through Your Posture

Open your chest by being in an open space and feeling life completely. Stretch your arms, stretch your body, stretch your rib cage, maintain the curves of your spine, and bring yourself into an open position.

Bring your lower back inward while allowing your pelvis and buttocks outward. Let your belly remain outward so that the natural curves of the body are maintained. Keep the neck slightly inward and then allow it to move a little backward to open the throat region.

I use this position to open the throat chakra and chest. When you create this openness in your body, you can begin experiencing greater openness in life.

Allow the Five Pranas to Move

Slowly, Kundalini can begin moving instead of remaining blocked in your way of living. These are important factors in your Kundalini journey.

When I move from a contracted posture into this opening posture, physical releases can happen. I understand this as toxicity trapped in the nervous system and solar plexus beginning to move out through the opening of the body.

If I remain contracted for some time and then open my posture, the five pranas begin working. The five pranas are responsible for Kundalini movement. The same prana enters your system and takes the formation of different kinds of pranas, and this movement is important for Kundalini movement.

Rule Out Physical and Medical Conditions

If you have symptoms that you associate with a blocked throat chakra or blocked chest, get yourself diagnosed on the physical and medical level. There may be physical conditions, a neurosis condition, muscular tension, problems involving an organ, or another condition in your body that you are not yet aware of.

Get these conditions properly evaluated so that you can rule out other physical causes. Once those causes are addressed or ruled out, you can focus more clearly on moving Kundalini in the right way.

Opening the Throat Chakra Is a Rebellious Act

Opening the throat chakra is an extremely rebellious act. It requires a lot of confidence and courage on your part because you have to speak the truth.

Stop telling lies from today onward, and you may find that many people disappear from your life because the surroundings in which you have been living may be full of lies. This is what Kundalini wants to teach you.

Start speaking the truth as it is. Speak to the person as it is. Feel and express as it is. Take your freedom of expression.

Stop Lying to Yourself

If you want to live a pure life of Kundalini, you have to express yourself as life and begin speaking the truth. First of all, stop telling lies to yourself.

Do not hesitate to open your heart. If you want to love someone, allow yourself to love. If you are finding it difficult to love someone, go and hug trees, go into nature and love animals, and begin loving yourself.

Give yourself a treat. Eat something you love. Do these things regularly and continuously instead of continually suppressing what your heart and life force want.

Reach the Guru When You Cannot Unblock Yourself

If you are unable to do what I have shared in these teachings, then the final solution is the Guru. You have to reach the Guru and meet the Guru so that the Guru can work on you.

This becomes possible when you are ready to work on yourself. You have to invest a lot of your time, money, and energy in processing Kundalini and working with these chakra blockages.

Live Life Fully to Become Free

The throat chakra and chest region are major areas where Kundalini becomes blocked because these areas are affected when you do not live life fully. So live life fully, enjoy life fully, and be in nature.

I can vouch that when you start living this way, you can become free from your blockages. Freedom comes when you stop compromising your expression, open your heart and body, speak your truth, and allow Kundalini to express life through you.
