Colour Coordinating: A Chakra Guide

Colour Coordinating: A Chakra Guide

“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” [Oscar Wilde]

Colours are a form of communication that can instantly set the tone just by glancing at it - whether it’s depicting your mood, conveying emotions, invoking physiological reactions, or inspiring people to get up and do something, when we harness the right color-emotion it leaves a strong effect.

I was once told by a shamanic healer that when doing self-work, when you're wanting to channel all of your focus into one zone (or one chakra area) that you want to improve, you should also match the tones of clothing you wear to match said color that depicts that chakra. By wearing certain hues, you'll be reminded of exactly what you want to work on, which channels a sense of empowerment, emanating excitement of that healing process.

If we can align our emotions with a particular colour, it’s easier for us to remember what it represents to us. For example, if our heart chakra is the one we want to adjust or heal heartache, grief, or emotional trauma, wearing shades of pink or green to represent love and compassion can aid our mindfulness.

Quick Chakra Guide:

ROOT - grounding, stability, physical needs, security, survival, manifestation, material world (*keep in mind, when we are not grounded and secure in our Root chakra, we don't have the foundation to support our work with any other chakra -- this is important!)

SACRAL - emotions, relationships, sexuality, self worth, creativity, empathy

SOLAR PLEXUS - personal power, willpower, energy, metabolism, effectiveness, self esteem, social identity, happiness (this is how you interact with the world - the sunlit personality that exudes from you and is presented outward)

HEART - love, understanding, trust, hope, openness, compassion, balance, forgiveness (the source of the most powerful healing energy there is: love)

THROAT - communication, sound, vibration, self expression, listening, speaking, writing, truth

THIRD EYE - psychic ability, channeling, telepathy, astral travel, visions, connection to higher self

CROWN - universal consciousness, all knowing, cosmic connection, enlightenment

Certain colours are said to bring certain emotions. In using certain crystals in jewelry, meditation, or keeping particular stones by your bedside or simply in your pocket, you can then instantly associate each stone with what you're feeling. In order to help for quick referencing, I needed to figure out which crystal to pick up to best suit what area on the Chakra Guide I wanted to improve at any given time.

I’ve laid out my list for which colours represent which energy, effects and feelings below and then coordinated them with how they are associated with each crystal and chakra. I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me!
