Vishuddha chakra is sometimes called bharati sthana (the “center of speech”) because of its location in the throat region and its function related to communication.
Vishuddha, the “purification center,” is the fifth energy center, located above the hollow of the neck. Its name refers to its quality of purifying and harmonizing polar energies. It attunes with the Ether element and the energies of space and time. It bestows quick and deep intelligence, the highest aesthetic and symbolic vision, and spiritual intuition. It is the center of purity, harmony, peace, superior ideals, refinement, and elevation.
Vishuddha chakra is also widely called “the center of nectar” because “poisons” (i.e., physical and psychological impurities) are alchemized into nectar at this level. It is the furnace in which all good and bad experiences are transformed into purity and bliss. Everything becomes nectar, blissful. As Paramahamsa Yogananda said, “It doesn’t matter what happens to you but what you do with what happens to you.”
