The crown of the head is where the Seventh and White or Violet Chakra energy center sits, and it is about enlightenment, spirituality, and one’s higher purpose. #7: Crown Chakra – PURPLE (sometimes WHITE) When I see purple during Reiki, meditation, or other energy work, I’m still not sure if that purple aura is associated with this chakra or the next one up, so I tend to interpret a combination of the two, as I almost always witness energetic healing happening in clients when purple appears. The mantra that goes with it could be “I see clearly,” as this healing color is about freedom from illusions. It is associated with a blue-violet-purple hue. Located on the forehead, the Sixth or Indigo Chakra is about intuition. A blue aura is often associated with someone skilled at speaking honestly and being heard. This healing color is about freedom from lies, and effecting change via voice. The Fifth or Blue Chakra energy center is in your throat, and is about speaking truthfully and powerfully. We often think of the opposite of love as being hate, but in fact it’s more sadness and fear of loss which block free heart connection. What’s interesting to me is that what blocks this chakra is grief. When you see a green aura, it’s associated with this fourth chakra. Located in your chest center, by your heart, the Fourth or Green Chakra is about giving and receiving love. The yellow chakra meaning connects with its Sanskrit name, Manipura, which correlates with the sun - like bold, bright power! The mantra for it could be “I am accepted,” as this healing color and chakra is about freedom from shame, and being happy expressing your full self. The Third or Yellow Chakra is located above your bellybutton in the center of the torso, and this energy center is about about confidence, personal power, self-love, self-expression, and personality. See my story about the orange chakra meaning, which explains a story from a Reiki client who had a strong orange aura with a clear message about her path. The Wong Janice explains that a mantra for it would be, “I am free,” because it is about being healed from guilt. The Second or Orange Chakra is below the bellybutton, and is about sensuality, pleasure, and creativity. (As a teacher, I immediately think of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which upon reflection, shockingly mirror the chakras.) See my article about seeing a red aura from this chakra to learn more about its meaning. It is about freedom from fear, and is the foundational piece to us functioning well. The energy center of the First Chakra or Red Chakra is at the base of the spine (by the tailbone), and is about feeling safe and grounded. (This background information will be essential for the upcoming theory about why we might see these healing colors while mediating.) My chakra colors and meanings chart. Below is an elaboration, assisted by the excellent course on Insight Timer by The Wong Janice. Now it’s time to learn about the color and meaning associated with each of the chakras in the body. How to Pronounce “Chakra”īefore we start learning about the meaning of each energy center, let’s first clarify how to pronounce “chakra.” The Sanskrit pronunciation is: “ chaa-kruh.” The first sound is “CH” like “Choose,” not “SH” like “Shoes.” I realized during my research for this article that I’ve been pronouncing the word incorrectly all these years! Chakra Colors and Meanings The move in rainbow order starting with the First Chakra (Red) at the base of the spine, and moving upward to the crown of the head for the Seventh Chakra (Violet or White). My illustration above attempts to show each. What are chakras? In the Hindu and Buddhist concept of “chakras,” the seven energy centers in our body are each associated with a color, physical location, and specific feeling and function. Either way, read on for useful information. Perhaps you also see chakra colors, or maybe you’re just curious about how learning about chakras in general can help healing, chakra balancing, and wellbeing. My name is Lillie, and I am a Reiki practitioner who has had extensive experience with seeing colors during meditation and energy work. This article gives an overview of the 7 chakras or energy centers in the body (plus an additional chakra outside the body), and it also takes the discussion one step further to ask the question: How does visualizing or seeing the colors associated with each chakra facilitate healing?
