The 7 Chakra Colors and Their Meaning
For those who know of energy healing and spirituality, the concept of Chakras may be quite familiar. However, for those of you just starting on your energy healing journey, this concept might be completely foreign. Let’s take a closer look at the 7 Chakra Colors and their meaning.
The human body has 7 Chakras starting from the base of the spine to the top of the head. These Chakras are the powerhouses of energy and keep us active, vibrant, and healthy.
Chakras are wheels of light that distribute life energy to all the parts and the glands of the body equally. This life energy is also called “Qi,” (pronounced as Chi) and governs our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
When there is a disturbance in the energy distribution due to any misaligned or closed Chakras, you are prone to develop severe illnesses and diseases. In such a case, you are likely to find yourself weak, distracted, and lost. However, learning about the 7 chakra colors and their meaning can help you clear your energy blocks and regain your optimal health and calmness.
Understanding the 7 Chakra Colors
“Every Chakra is associated with a different color to establish a connection between the mental and the physical state of the human body.”
Colors are a universal language that is easy to understand. They often represent and symbolize things and concepts. For clarity and ease, all 7 Chakras are shown using the colors of the Rainbow (every color in the spectrum vibrates at a certain frequency.)
The Chakras connect to those respective colors and create specific vibrations at physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. The 7 Chakras and their corresponding colors are as follows.
- The Muladhara or the Root Chakra is the color Red
- The Svadhisthana or the Sacral Chakra is the color Orange
- The Manipura or the Solar Plexus Chakra is the color Yellow
- The Anahata or the Heart Chakra is the color Green
- The Visuddha or the Throat Chakra is the color Blue
- The Ajna Chakra or the Third Eye Chakra is the color Indigo
- The Sahasrara Chakra or the Crown Chakra is the color Violet
Remembering the Rainbow colors (ROYGBIV) is the simplest way to memorize Chakra colors.
So, these are the Chakras and the colors that link to them.
