Colourful Chakras

Our chakras are represented by a colour. You may have a favourite colour and I have often wondered if this is influenced unconsciously by either a need to be more stronger in a Chakra or a reflection that you are stronger in that particular Chakra. For instance my favourite colour is yellow.  Now is that signifying that I want more personal power or that I have a strong will? It is all very fascinating to me and each person will read this in a very different way. Who knows it may make you look at yourself and other people differently.

Chakra Colors

Chakra colours are typically broken down into seven and follow the order of the colours of the rainbow. Let’s look at the chakra colours in order, from red to purple and white, and explore their meanings and attributes when used with chakra healing techniques and healing stones.

The 7 primary chakras colours

In order, the colours of the seven primary chakras are:
Red – First chakra
Orange – Second chakra
Yellow – Third chakra
Green – Fourth chakra
Blue (sapphire blue or turquoise) – Fifth chakra
Purple (or deep indigo) – Sixth chakra
White (sometimes purplish white) – Seventh chakra

Each colour reflects a type of vibration or frequency radiating through the chakras. This classic colour chart is based on yogic traditions, as well as contemporary healing schools of thought. Although the exact colour of each energy center may vary, there is a general agreement about a rainbow-coloured representation of the chakra system.
