Use Color Therapy To Heal Your Chakras

Using color therapy to heal or unblock the chakras is a very effective way to restore balance to your entire being.

The chakras can influence your physical health, the functioning of your reproductive system, energy levels, and emotional balance. It can also affect speaking your truth, clear thinking, spiritual well-being and intuitive awareness. It is therefore important to keep your chakras in good balance and operating at their full potential.

Because each chakra rules a different area of the mind, heart and body, it is easy to spot when one of them is out of balance. For example, if you constantly have health or immune system issues, you may have an imbalance in your root chakra. Or, if you find yourself having trouble speaking up or saying how you really feel, your throat chakra might need some color therapy.

The seven chakra energy centers each resonate with one of the seven colors found in a rainbow or prism. Each chakra is located in a specific area of the body, and influence our energy flow as follows:

Root Chakra

Located at the bottom of your spine it resonates with the color red. Its physical health aspects include the lower body (legs, feet), the groin, male and female genital areas, and the root or base of the spine.

Creation Chakra

Located in your pelvic region it resonates with the color orange. It affects creative aspects and the physical health of the pelvic area, the reproductive glands, hips and lower back.

Power Chakra

Located in your mid-section or stomach area it resonates with the color yellow. It regulates life force and power aspects, and the physical health of the stomach and middle organs of the body, as well as the middle back.

Heart Chakra

Located in the area of your heart and chest it resonates with the color green. It determines emotional aspects, and the physical health of the heart, breasts, lungs, and upper back.

Will Chakra

Located in your throat region it resonates with light blue. It controls free will, choice and expression and the physical health of the neck, throat, mouth and nose.

Intellectual Chakra

Located in your forehead area it resonates with the color indigo. It manages mental health aspects, thought, and intellect, and the physical health of the brain, eyes and forehead.

Crown Chakra

Because this Chakra is located just above the head, it is not connected to any physical part of the body. It resonates with the color purple. It regulates spiritual growth, awareness, intuition, the third eye, connection to the Universe and the developing soul.

Color is a power which directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings ~ Wassily Kandinsky

When you encounter energy blockages, or stagnant energy flow in a certain chakra, you can use the color associated with that area to heal or improve the situation. For example, if you are experiencing blocks in your Creative Chakra, you will need to surround yourself with orange, its associated color. You can do this by eating more orange foods, adding orange candles, pillows or decorative items to your environment and wearing gemstones of this color, such as citrine or Mexican garnets.

Similarly, if you want to heighten your intellect, make indigo the color of the day, and if you are ready to expand your spirituality, purple is the ideal choice!

Once you’ve located the chakra that needs a boost, select the color that rules it. Then surround yourself with this color and meditate with stones and gems of that same color, placing them on the area that needs help. You’ll also want to wear clothing of this color, eat more foods of the associated hue and buy flowers or candles that match the color of that particular chakra.

Once all your chakras are clear and balanced, you’ll notice right away that you feel more energetic, more alert, aware and ready to face the world!
