A
Healthy Life With Chakra Color Therapy
by Jonathan Benjem
The enlightened people have always advocated finding inner peace
through internal energy reservoir. In other words, you can improve
your life without any external aid, and by concentrating on improving
the functioning of seven primary energy centers (chakras) within the
body. 'Balancing' the movement of these spinning energy vortexes
(primary charkas) is the key to improving your life in all aspects -
physical, emotional, and spiritual.
All the seven chakras have a color associated with them, which helps
in synchronizing the movement of the respective Chakra. The use of
colors in your efforts to strike a balance between their movements is
referred to as Chakra Color Therapy.
A brief description of the primary chakras and their associated colors
is enunciated below:
1. The Base Chakra (Muladhara) is situated at the coccyx (base of the
spine). This first chakra is associated with our very basic survival
needs, courage, and vitality. The color associated with this chakra is
Red. The attributes of Red color for the body includes vitality and
energy provider on all levels.
2. The Sacral Chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below the
navel. This chakra is associated with our sexual drive and emotions.
The associated color is Orange, which is known for its qualities of
success, self-confidence, and independence of thoughts.
3. The Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, is located just above the
navel. This chakra is associated with will, identity, and power. The
associated color is Yellow, which is known for its qualities of
self-worthiness, clarity of thought, and intellect.
4. The Heart Chakra, or Anahata, is located in the center of the
chest. This chakra is associated with love, compassion, and
self-expression. The associated color is Green, which is known for its
qualities of intimacy and forgiveness.
5. The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in the throat area.
This chakra is associated with expression and communication. The
associated color is Blue, which is known for its qualities of clarity
in communicating the feelings with others, self-identification, and
creativity.
6. The Brow Chakra (or Ajna), situated between the brows on the
forehead, is associated with perception, intuition, and imagination.
Indigo is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the
body with qualities, like visualization, understanding, and clear
vision.
7. The Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara, is located on top of the head. This
chakra is associated with wisdom and enlightenment. The associated
color is Violet, which is known for its qualities of self-knowledge
and spiritual awareness.
Quite simply, Chakra Color Therapy refers to simple exercises that use
the relevant colors to correct the movement of imbalanced chakras.
But, before you employ Chakra Color Therapy to treat the imbalance,
it's vital to know which chakra or chakras is/are affected in the
body.
The next step is Color Breathing. This is simple exercise of
relaxation with all the seven (colored) cloth swatches besides you.
After identifying the disturbed chakra by going through the events of
the day, take the colored cloth swatch, and lay them on the body part
associated with the affected chakra. Close your eyes, take deep
breaths, and visualize the color being absorbed by the chakra. The
constant practice of this process for 5-10 minutes should be enough
for the balancing of the affected Chakra. If more than one Chakra is
out of balance, repeat the process for the imbalanced Chakras.
Chakra Color Therapy is a healthy option for maintenance of chakra
balance. For daily maintenance, just lie down and repeat the above
process by placing the relevant colored swatches on the relevant body
parts. 5-10 minutes should be sufficient to recharge your chakras and
correct the imbalanced ones to give you a better life free of
physical, emotional or spiritual ailment.
