Chakras and Color

The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and they are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development of our self-consciousness. They are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions.

Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side.

Chakra Clearing: A chakra is like a whirling vortex of energy. Think of it as an invisible, rechargeable battery. It is charged and recharged through contact with the stream of cosmic energy in the air.

The human energy field or Aura is an energetic, multidimensional field that surrounds, penetrates, and makes up the human body. It has rivers of energy called meridians that nourish every organ and cell in our body. These rivers are supplied by vortexes of energy called Chakras. These Chakras, in turn, collect energy from the Universal Life Force and Energy Field that is all around us. When blocks accumulate in the Chakras, a disruption in the flow of energy results and disrupts the harmony in the energy field which may eventually cause dis-ease as well as emotional and mental disorders in the physical body. Through healing and regular Chakra clearing, the energy field is cleared of blocks, while the Chakras are blanched and vibrating perfectly, therefore creating a new level of awareness.

Often blockages occur habitually as the result of negative or incomplete belief systems. The effects of our habits, feelings, beliefs, thoughts, fears and desires can be found in our chakras!
It is vital to the energetic health of the patient that the upward flow of energy through the chakra system, and the flow of energy into and through each chakra, be maintained. If you have sensed that a chakra is blocked—that the energy stops its normal flow at that chakra—it is possible to restore the healthy upward energy flow. Clearing the Chakras allows old emotions, energies stored in our energetic system to be released and then new positive experiences and emotions may take their place. When your chakras are healthy and flowing your life will be in better balance and harmony.

The First Chakra…Is associated with being rooted in the earth. A sense of belonging. Spiritual growth and a deep connection to nature. This chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our beings.

The Second Chakra…Is associated with intimacy. Healthy loving relationships. Pure and deep sexual union with your partner. The unconscious mind starts to reveal itself… giving you clues as to what subconscious programming needs to be replaced to help you function at a higher level of consciousness. This chakra often offers us the opportunity to lessen our "control issues" and find a balance in our lives, teaching us to recognize that acceptance and rejection are not the only options in our relationships.

The Third Chakra…is associated with the gaining of Self determination. A feeling of purpose starts to rise. You start to gain insight into your destiny. Your “will power” becomes unshakeable. You will start to manifest your goals much more easily. This is the area which defines our "self-esteem."

The Fourth Chakra… is associated with Universal compassion. Unconditional Love. A feeling of limitlessness…. everyone will notice the difference… you will be more loving. This love center of our human energy system is often the focus in bringing about a healing.

The Fifth Chakra… is associated with Creativity. Communication with others is greatly enhanced. Self expression is much more of a flow. Your speech is more clearer, flowing more confidently… in a nutshell, you will be so much more confident. This chakra is our will center. The healthfulness of the fifth chakra is in relation to how honestly one expresses himself/herself.

The Sixth Chakra…is associated with a much more developed intuition. You will start to have a clear vision of your own spiritual path. A feeling of advanced knowing will start to overcome you, interspersed with a lofty feeling of transcendence…. You will gain insight into the destiny of mankind. It is our avenue to wisdom - learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective. Our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions is in connection with the healthfulness of this chakra.

The Seventh Chakra… is associated with a sense of completion. A sense of mysticism, Self realization and frequent flashes of “Enlightenment”. This is the state in which others will be drawn to you, seeking spiritual guidance and healing… you will be magnetically attractive. We use the seventh chakra as a tool to communicate with our spiritual nature.
