Chakra colours and healing stones

I have a set of healing stones as I had it in my mind to do something with them although in truth I have not really done anything!  I think I was drawn to the idea of using an object to help with focus.  The mind is a powerful thing and using the senses to focus it interests me.

Chakra colours and healing stones

When selecting chakra healing stones, colour-coding can help. Here’s a chart highlighting the major chakras colours and their corresponding stones:

In pairing a gemstone with an energy center, you can match the stone colour with its corresponding chakra to increase coherence and add power to the stone. For example, green and pink stones tend to harmonize with the heart. Note that some gemstones have healing properties pertaining to more than one energy center.

Even though stone colour matters, your personal connection to the gemstone and how it resonates with you contribute to increasing its power. Your favourite healing crystal is a tool you can use to focus healing energy to a specific area of the body.

9 Chakra colours?

Even though the traditional representation of the chakra system revolves around a breakdown of 7 energy centers, there are occasional references in energy healing practices to upper centers of energy resulting in a 9 chakra or 12 chakra system. The 8th and 9th chakras rely on higher frequencies and levels or energy that becomes more and more subtle.

The 9 chakra colors are as follows:

Red – First chakra

Orange – Second chakra

Yellow – Third chakra

Green – Fourth chakra

Blue (indigo) – Fifth chakra

Purple (sapphire blue) – Sixth chakra

White (or purple) – Seventh chakra

Gold – Eight chakra

Platinum – Ninth chakra

Working with colours is a great way to balance the chakras. At the most obvious level, one can match a colour with its associated with the energy center to support or activate its flow. For example, you may use red to stimulate root chakra energy and support grounding and overall vitality; orange to target the second energy center; yellow for the third, etc.

Colours in the human body

While matching colours can be a useful approach to stimulate the function of a specific chakra, one could also apply colours across the body in order to target different bodily functions and energy centers.

Here’s a chart of colours and body associations based on modern healing methods:

Red – Bones, bone marrow
Orange – Glands, Adrenals
Yellow (golden yellow)- Nervous system
Green – Lungs, lung tissues
Blue – Etheric body, optimal bodily functions
Purple – Fascia, skin
White – Body, mind and Spirit

The traditional chakra system distinguishes 7 main colours associated with each energy center. Yet, healing with colours opens up a whole new range of options. It allows us to shift from a static representation of the chakra system to a dynamic interplay of tints we can use to better support the energy flow in the body.

Finally, colour therapy provides additional resources to stimulate a desired emotional or physiological response during a meditation on the chakras, in your living environment, or healing work.
