How to Heal With Colour
Incorporating colour can greatly enhance many self-healing practices. Colour is more than just what we see; it has unique wavelengths that affect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By matching each chakra‘s colour with its related aura layer, you connect with the natural spectrum found in a rainbow. This guide will help you understand how to connect with each colour, the reasons behind its effectiveness, and practical advice for adding colour meditation to your everyday routine.
The Seven Chakra Colours Explained
- Red: Root Chakra – Base of spine – Grounding, stability, survival
- Orange: Sacral Chakra – Lower abdomen – Creativity, pleasure, sexuality
- Yellow: Solar Plexus Chakra – Upper abdomen – Personal power, confidence
- Green: Heart Chakra – Center of chest – Love, compassion, forgiveness
- Blue: Throat Chakra – Throat area – Communication, truth
- Indigo: Third Eye Chakra – Between eyebrows – Intuition, insight
- Violet: Crown Chakra – Top of head – Spiritual connection, enlightenment
These colours reflect the traditional rainbow order from red to violet, emphasizing that the universe’s energy is already structured for us.
White Light: The All-Encompassing Option
White light includes all colours of the spectrum, making it a useful resource when you need overall balance. Whether you’re relieving age-related discomfort or looking for a neutral reset, white light can enhance the chakra colour scheme.
