7 Chakra Colors and Their Powerful Meanings

 

Chakra Colors at Colors 4 Health



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.

When we use our intuition as a guide, it's easy to  discover parts of us that need attention and re-balancing.



The links below lead to posts that demonstrate specific chakra colors, and ways to use them such as eating foods that are that color, wearing clothing in that color, and decorating your home or office with them.

Healing and Recovery through Self-compassion




I've been grieving, since my son died at the end of last year. This is Part 2 in my Healing Series. 

Often heartache clouds thinking, and I have little energy to do much more than care for myself. 




Slowly I'm finding it's best for overall health to attend support group meetings, reach out to others, journal, pray, meditate, and honor my feelings. 

I'm discovering these and other nurturing practices give me courage to live in the uncertainty of what comes next.  

Many mornings I have to coax myself out of bed, yet I make time to walk in nature, do yoga, or read an inspiring book.

I also have committed to do whatever else is in my power to do, so I can feel less anxious and overwhelmed.

I pray for the power to come to terms with this tragic loss... step by step.





By synchronicity, I read Kristin Neff's book, Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind only two months ago. Kristin Neff, PhD, is an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She is known for her work on self-compassion. 

Her writing resonated with me and at that point, I was motivated to make my word for the year "kindness."

Both as a health and lifestyle writer and mother, I share reasons why I put self-compassion in the forefront of my day to support me as I mourn.


Reasons to Use Self-compassion for Healing and Recovery
Part 2


Self-compassion helps us identify our suffering and reminds us to take gentle care of ourselves, especially at these times.


Self-compassion strengthens our determination to accept and approve of our “whole selves,” including mistakes, shortcomings, dark side, and assets.

Self-compassion furthers healing, and even works on wounds and stressors we may not be able to cope with by conventional means.

Self-compassion helps us fashion a meaningful path away from illness, negativity, setbacks and helps us be resilient and able to move on.

Self-compassion reminds us that every human being is precious, deserving of care no matter what our circumstances.

Self-compassion enriches cells in our brain and body. This behavior enhances physical, mental, spiritual, and interpersonal activities we use to support ourselves. 

Self-compassion accentuates feel-good energy.

"My self-compassion mantra is to treat myself tenderly no matter what! 

You can use it to too. Let the power of self-compassion nurture you as you recover from grief and loss." Nancy Andres






A self-compassionate perspective helps us heal and recover 

If you are at loose ends, struggle with negative self-talk, compare yourself unfavorably to others, or treat yourself critically, why not choose instead to be self-compassionate? 


Test it out for yourself and let us know what happens when you do.
