Chakra Colors
Each of the seven main Chakra Centers has their specific Chakra Color. As you know these are the colors of the rainbow and each has its’ own meanings and significance.
Red Chakra : Root Chakra
Red is a dynamic color and signifies passion, instinct and desire. It is closely linked to our blood and is often associated with anger or something making our ‘blood boil’!
As red is the color of the Root Chakra you can see how this ties in with the sexual center – not just the physical organs themselves but also how you feel about your sexuality and sexual health. This is our instinctive nature and the root is all about our physical health and stamina – our vitality – again this coincides perfectly with the color red and the attributes we give it.
Orange Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Orange is the color of the Sacral Chakra and its’ tone is mellowed from the stark vitality of red – it is more fluid in its nature. It symbolizes your emotions, their need to flow and be expressed. Also it is associated with creative ability and change, this lends itself not just to the physical act of creation or fertility but even to the amount of creative expression in our daily lives. This center is also about our magnetism – our ability to attract the things we want and like into our lives and also those things we tend to push away.
Yellow Chakra: Solar Plexus Chakra
Yellow links with our personal power center and can display how active( or not!) this center is. It is connected to our digestive system, assimilating the power and juice we need to survive from the foods we take in. This chakra can often be implicated in people who consistently multi task or take may projects on at any one time. It can signify a bright intellect, a bright spark with the energy to ignite others into action.
Green Chakra: Heart Chakra
Green denotes a caring and compassionate nature. It is linked to the natural cycles and rhythms of life. It is the natural color of healing and is organic in its associations to the great outdoors and Mother Nature herself. Usually people displaying green in the aura will ‘talk from the heart’ and can be quite expressive with their hand gestures whilst explaining and talking about the topics they enjoy.
Blue Chakra:Throat Chakra
Blue is the color of communication and expression. In spiritual circles it is often described as being related to being able to align with our ‘spiritual truth’ – understanding who we are and our purpose here. In its positive shades it is a color of honesty and integrity. It can reveal itself to be in some quite bizarre shapes at times – depending on whether the person is freely able to voice their opinions or wants and needs.
Indigo Chakra:Third Eye Chakra
Indigo or dark purple is the color of the third eye and purple shades are often associated with magical or mystical theories and realms. This is of course about your intuition, your psychic abilities as well as the deeper recesses of your mind and imagination. It is the link with the imagination that is so powerful. Not the idle imagination of fanciful dreams but the creative imagination to harness the power of your thoughts and subconscious mind to steer your life in the direction you truly want it to go in.
Violet Chakra:Crown Chakra
Once more this is a mystical color and is seen as a very spiritual color. This color conveys our ability to know our true purpose and to balance the spiritual self we know with the physical self we can see and touch. There is a certain wisdom and quiet knowing, acceptance that comes with this color in its’ positive aspect. In a not so positive aspect it could indicate someone has dissociated from the physical reality of everyday life.
This was just a brief insight into some of the meanings and associations of the Chakra Colors. It is an ever expanding topic and color can be effectively used in healing and balancing your Chakra energy and the Aura as a whole.
