When we see or envision the seven major chakra colors, our mind, body, and spirit interacts with their vibrational energy. Colors work at the cellular level to renew vitality, foster relaxation, and create balance and ease.
Chakra means "wheel" in Sanskrit and ancient Hindus/yogis described them as our personal energy field.
See the picture above. It represents the general area of the 7 main chakras in our physical body from root chakra (red, at the bottom or base) to the crown chakra (purple at the crown).
These centers represent etheric energy and are called chi, life force, or prana/breath. Check out this video to learn more about etheric energy, a force present in all physical matter as well as all space in the universe.
Our chakras are interrelated, and have a powerful influence over our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
If our chakras are integrated (aligned), life force or chi is able to flow freely through these areas. We feel alive and present in our body and mind from moment to moment, yet open to receiving energy from the highest realms of Spirit.
If our thinking is disrupted by energy blocks, we feel lackluster or stuck, and sense pain or dis-ease (anxiety or nervousness) in mind or body. This is an opportune time to experiment using the colors of the chakras to improve wellness.
Try to envision, meditate on, or look at each color. Notice places in body, mind, or spirit where life force energy feels sluggish, blocked, or missing.

Chakra is a term I knew but never knew what exactly it meant - this post was very helpful! Was initially drawn to yellow so that's good to know!
ReplyDeleteLove to know what colors people are drawn to Katherine. It could mean something about your personality and/or what you need more of today to align your chakras. Contemplate it and if you can, let me know what you feel it is. Warm regards, Nancy Andres
