Why Do Chakras Have Colours?

Chakras are associated with energy, so each one carries a unique frequency and wavelength. The colour assigned to every chakra is specifically chosen to match the vibration of that particular energy center. Colour, in a nutshell, is energy vibrating at certain speeds.

Lower vibrations produce warmer colors like reds and oranges, while higher vibrations produce cooler colours like blues and indigo. At the highest vibration, the two ends of the colour spectrum meet together and produce violet.

According to research different vibrations are known to affect our physiology, such as mood, heart rate, and alertness, to name a few. Lower vibration hues, like red, seem to raise heart rate and instill excitement. Higher vibration hues, however, seem to have a contrasting effect — lowering the heart rate and promoting calmness. Of course, we see lots of colours all the time, so colour psychology doesn’t mean that every colour we see will affect us. Instead, it’s really all about your focus.

Simply put, when you focus on a specific colour, or it’s overwhelmingly in your field of vision, it affects your brain and in turn, can influence your energy vibrations. When you apply this to chakras and colours, each of the seven energy centers vibrates at a certain frequency, producing a certain colour and ultimately affecting your mind, body, and spirit in one way or another.

Here is a quick description of each CHAKRA. As you read, see if you can tune into each one.

Use this as an opportunity to mentally check in with each chakra, sense its location, and feel its energy. The descriptions will help you learn what feelings spring from each one. Be mindful of those feelings and where they come from. Consider what feels free or easy about each emotion, and what feels more difficult for you right now.

Root Chakra – Muladhara (RED) ~ Root Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

The first of the chakras, your root chakra is located at the base of your spine (tailbone). It represents your central foundation. It’s related to grounding, survival, primal energy, and security. Chakra healing here may help you feel strong and safe. Close your eyes and imagine the strength that lies here.

Sacral Chakra – Svadhisthana (ORANGE) ~ Sacral Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

This second chakra is connected with sexuality, pleasure, creativity, and relationships. It's located along your spine in your lower abdomen, at the womb or sacrum, and may overlap the root chakra. It’s associated with sexual energy and reproductive health. If you’re a creative person, check in with this chakra often to make sure it doesn’t feel blocked. Feel creativity flowing from this area.

Solar Plexus – Manipura (YELLOW) ~ Solar Plexus Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

Our third chakra lies along your spine and above the navel, in the upper abdomen and in the stomach area. It’s said to be responsible for the “butterfly in stomach feeling” or the “gut feeling.” This chakra has to do with inner strength, self-control, vitality, and assertiveness. A healthy solar plexus may help you set boundaries and voice your needs. Chakra healing of the solar plexus may help you reclaim your power and act on behalf of what you want. If you feel like you have “guts” or “moxy,” you may be strong here.

Heart Chakra – Anahata (GREEN) ~ Heart Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

Of course, the heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. It’s what’s said to hurt when your heart aches from grief and loss. It’s associated with love, along with compassion, forgiveness and self-esteem. Balance in the heart chakra is related to a feeling of being centered. Chakra healing of the heart chakra may help you feel a sense of love without emotional pain; feeling more open to giving and receiving affection, trusting others, and feeling joy and gratitude.

Throat Chakra – Visuddha (BLUE) ~ Throat Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

Your throat chakra is located in your throat and is associated with communication skills or communication problems. It makes sense that this fifth chakra is connected with expression, communication and speech. When balanced, you may feel more free to be truthful, express your feelings in words, as well as listening to others do the same. Blockages or traumatic life events may energetically “strangle” your voice and leave you feeling incapable or unworthy of that expression. Chakra healing may help you regain the ability and desire to ring out your own truth. People who have been in abusive relationships or grew up in unhealthy households may have to develop a connection to their throat chakra later in life. This is what we call “finding our voice.”

Third Eye Chakra – Ajna (INDIGO) ~ Third Eye Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

This is the sixth chakra, located at the third-eye location in between your eyebrows and above the top of the nose bridge. It’s associated with intuition, vision, insight, and psychic awareness or ESP (extrasensory perception). If blocked or traumatized, you may find yourself overly vigilant in trying to see every possible bad outcome, or perceive every threat. Your visual field may narrow or be hyper focused on one thing at a time. Chakra healing in this area could help you be more relaxed, helping intuition and perception to come to you, rather than stressing about looking for it.

Crown Chakra – Sahasrara (VIOLET) ~ Crown Chakra Healing Kit | BellaZen

Your crown chakra is located at the “crown” of the skull. Its connection point is associated with higher consciousness, higher power or inspiration, This is your most spiritual chakra. If you feel disconnected from others, from deity, or from the universe, there could be something blocking this. Chakra healing can help you re-establish your sense of connectedness and spirituality.
