Chakras Colors
Therapy
Each of us posses seven spinning energy centers called chakras.
Each chakra has its own quality and quantity of energy depending
on how open or closed it is. Color therapy in a variety of
forms can be used to open blocked chakras.
Chakra 1: Muladhara
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine. This
chakra deals with human potential, primitive energy, basic
survival needs and our foundations. Red is the color associated
with this chakra. A significant lack of energy here can make
people weak and self-destructive.
Chakra 2: Svadhisthana
The second chakra is located just slightly below the navel,
or belly button. This chakra is the center of our sexual drive
and emotions. The color of this chakra is orange. A deficiency
of energy here may cause a person to be immobilized by fear,
burdened by guilt or distrustful.
Chakra 3: Manipura
The third chakra is located at the solar plexus and relates
to will, power, and social identification. This chakra's color
is yellow. A lack of energy here may result in depression
and confusion.
Chakra 4: Anahata
The fourth chakra is located over the heart and relates to
love, balance, compassion, and self expression. Green, and
sometimes pink, is the color of this chakra. Little energy
in this chakra may cause paranoia and indecision.
Chakra 5: Vishuddha
The fifth chakra is located at the throat and relates to communication,
creativity, and self identification. The color here is blue.
A blocked chakra here can cause a person to be devious and
manipulative.
Chakra 6: Ajna
The sixth chakra is located between the eyebrows at the third
eye position relating to mind, intuition, and heightened self
awareness. Violet is the color here. Insufficient amounts
of energy here can cause a person to be oversensitive and
afraid of success.
Chakra 7: Sahasrara
The seventh, or crown chakra, is located at the top of the
head and deals with the experience of self- realization, wisdom,
understanding, and enlightenment. Enlightenment is the culmination
of all the other chakras and thus is depicted by white. A
deficiency of energy here may cause a person to become catatonic.
The first three chakras are
concerned primarily with physical concerns, where as the last
three charkas are concerned with more spiritual matters. The
fourth, or the heart chakra, balances the physical and the
spiritual.
Color Therapy
Color therapy can take a variety of forms including light,
clothing and minerals. Colored light therapy may be as simple
as buying a colored light bulb from the hardware store. People
with an interest in theatre may extend the idea to flood lights
and a colored gel, a thick piece of plastic. Even the stained
glass windows of your local church can help you get the colored
light you are looking for.
Clothing can also effect a
person. To help alleviate depression, wear colors like orange,
yellow, or pink. Black is a color of mystery and should reflect
that mood. An erotic atmosphere can be created with red and
orange colors. To counteract nervousness, surround yourself
with blues and greens.
Minerals and jewelry can also
help enhance your mood. Lower chakra stones are best worn
as anklets, belt buckles, rings or bracelets. The fourth and
fifth chakra minerals are best worn as necklaces over the
heart or chokers around the throat. Sixth and seventh chakra
stones are best in earrings or hair pieces. The chakra stones
are generally the same color that is associated with the individual
chakras. The following is a partial list of chakra stones:
* Chakra 1: Red - red garnet,
black obsidian, smoky quartz
* Chakra 2: Orange - tiger's eye, carnelian
* Chakra 3: Yellow - citrine
* Chakra 4: Green - malachite, green jade, rose quartz
* Chakra 5: Blue - sodalite, azurite
* Chakra 6: Violet - lapis, flourite
* Chakra 7: White - amethyst, clear quartz
Select the chakra stones in
such a way to enhance your mood much the same way you would
select colors for your clothing.
