Chakra Colours & Meanings


Last eve Tom & I went to an evening Meditation at our Yoga Studio, it was amazing. The energy flowing through the room was so cool. I didn't realise until last night that my root chakra (which is a very important Chakra!) was quite blocked because of sheer neglect of being in tune with my body this week. I could physically feel myself reactivating it as I payed attention to the location, colour & grounding of this important Chakra. I'd like to take some time to list the Chakra's & their colour meanings for those of you who are interested in keeping your Chakra's in better health like me 

1.Root Chakra
The Red Root Chakra relates to self awareness. It is the area of survival and stability and your place on this earth.  The colour red provides the power from the earth and gives energy on all levels. It connects us to our physical body. Everything that is to be commenced needs the life vitality of red. 
Healthy Root Chakra: Courageous, confident, humanistic, strong-willed, spontaneous, honest, and extroverted.
Blocked Root Chakra: Insecurity, self-pitying, aggressive & fearful
Body Issues:Constipation, diarrhea, piles, colitis, Crohn's disease, cold fingers and toes, frequency of urination, hypertension (high blood pressure), kidney stones, impotence, hip problems, legs and feet. PINK can also be used here when a more gentle energy is required.
