Red is the hue of the root chakra (the first chakra); it represents protection, survival, anchoring, and feeding from the Earth’s energy. Remember that in chakra healing treatments, red may signify physical inflammation.
Orange is the hue of the sacral chakra (the second chakra); it holds connotations related to emotions, creativity, and sexuality, and it is connected with water and movement.
Yellow is the hue of the solar plexus chakra (the third chakra), and it represents cerebral processes, intelligence, personal strength, and will.
Green is the hue of the heart chakra (the fourth chakra); it is associated with love, relationships, integration, and compassion.
Blue is the hue of the throat chakra (the fifth chakra); it represents self-expression, truthful expression, creative expression, communication, flawless shape, and patterns.
Indigo is the hue of the sixth chakra (third eye chakra); it promotes intuition, extrasensory awareness, and inner knowledge.
Purple is the hue of the seventh chakra (crown chakra); it is connected with the universe, spiritual connection, and consciousness.
Chakra colors carry the same vibrational frequencies of light and energy linked with each energy center (chakra) hence they tune up the function of the chakras they come in contact with. The colors of someone’s energy field is most likely related to the activity of one or more chakras combined. When observing the whole auric field of a person, the observed hues and colors represent the activity of these energy centers and their frequency of vibration.
The electromagnetic field encircling the body might be seen as the aura. Its colors represent the energy spinning through the chakras and may be linked to the status of different physical processes, emotions, and other psycho-spiritual factors, thus showing that by using different colors these processes and energies can be healed and balanced.
Sunlight plays a vital role in color healing therapy for the chakras. This is because we can only perceive colors through the light that passes across them, defining the hues our eyes can see and hence choosing the right colors. Also, the energies carried by the colors are discharged into our bodies and chakras through the sunlight traversing them. Thus, it is basically the combination of the sun and the color of the object that heals chakras.
The primary seven chakras are found from the base of the human spine to the top of the skull. They are energy wheels that flow through the body. They are a vital source of unseen energy in our bodies. Every day, the chakras keep us energetic, alive, and bright. Therefore, there is an array of 7 chakra colors connected with each of these whirling vortexes.
Each chakra color has its own vibrational frequency, which you can tap into, work with, and use to help strengthen the chakra’s associated energy. As a result, because color is also vibration, you will be influencing your body’s chakra centers, which vibrate at the same frequency as their colors.
Each of the 7 chakras has a corresponding color, so once you know which chakra is weakened, you can use its corresponding color to heal and balance the imbalanced energy center.
Below are some keywords to help you identify the right color:
RED = Passion, Strength, Determination
ORANGE = Optimism, Extroverted, Social
YELLOW = Joy, Happiness, Intellect
GREEN = Freshness, Health, New beginnings
BLUE = Relaxer, Tranquility, Harmony
INDIGO = Integrity, Sincerity, Dignity
PURPLE = Good Judgment, Royalty, Spirituality
The energy circuit of the chakras traverses the entire spine, from the Muladhara chakra to the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head. We can say that the lower chakras are denser and the higher ones are lighter because each chakra has its own energy density associated with a particular color. Similar to a spiral, the weight decreases as we ascend, and the progression of colors from the darkest tones at the base to lighter and brighter tones at the top follows the same pattern.
Additionally, white is associated with the Crown or Sahasrara chakra. Thus, the progression of colors from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to indigo to purple is natural. The different colors follow a natural upward flow from lower to higher density, which corresponds to the different chakras.
The most common method for chakra balancing through color is visualization, or meditation in a specific hue. This is done over the area of the body where the color’s associated chakra is located. For example, to meditate on the color blue, imagine your throat being filled with it, as this is where the Vishuddha chakra is located. Holding attention and awareness to this energy center while imagining it all colored by the color associated with it is an effective way to bring the chakra into balance.
External exposure to a specific color balances and heals the chakra associated with that color. Walking through a forest, for example, can help to balance the Heart chakra. Wearing red clothing helps to balance the Root chakra. Bathing in multicolored salts helps to balance the body’s chakras. Yellow home décor, for example, stimulates the Manipura chakra.
One of the most effective ways to restore harmony to the chakras, which are energy centers located all over the body, is to use crystals of varying colors to place in the appropriate chakras. Eating foods or drinking natural fruit juices with the colors that correspond to the chakras that are out of balance helps to bring them back into alignment.
- Wearing clothes of the chakra color.
- Consuming chakra-colored foods and beverages.
- Surrounding yourself by landscape-colored natural places.
- Expose your crystals to direct sunlight whenever possible.
- Observe the art, objects, and paintings of various colors around you.
- Stylize your home with colorful décor, such as LED lights.
- Concentrate on the colors that are most appealing to you.
Choose a certain hue in meditation to resolve any emotional or physical difficulty. Before beginning your meditation, you should evaluate your mental and physical states. Do you have a relationship problem that is causing you concern? Concentrate on red and the root chakra. Do you have difficulty speaking for yourself? Concentrate on the blue hue and your throat chakra. If you are experiencing physical weakness in any part of your body, concentrate on the hue and chakra associated with that ailment.
- In a quiet environment, sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
- Take several deep, purifying breaths.
- Start taking calm, even breaths.
- Imagine a golden light above your head and bring it all the way down your body to your toes.
- Let the light to illumine your entire self.
- When you feel totally calm, continue focusing on the color associated with each chakra. Focus on the elements of your red root chakra while you envision the color red, beginning with your red root chakra. Continue concentrating your attention on each hue and chakra until you reach the crown chakra.
- Take a few more cleansing, deep breaths to conclude your meditation.
- Before you emerge from your meditation state, envision your entire self bathed in golden light.
