Meaning
of Colours |
 |
Red
First Chakra: Located at the base of the spine
Is used to energise and stimulate. Affects the heart by
increasing pulse rate, and the muscles by increasing
their tension. Influences vitality, and increases body
temperature. Can be used to develop excitement and
sensuality.
Orange
Second Chakra: pelvis area
Being a color mixed from red and yellow, according to
chromotherapists orange stands for kind-heartedness and
warm-heartedness of an individual. Orange would
symbolise the rising sun, and make us alert and
cheerful. It is believed to affect both our bodies and
our minds. Astonishing results are ascribed to the use
of the color orange to treat mental illness,
depressions, discontent and pessimism. Orange could be
applied for the treatment of arteriosclerosis,
sclerenecephaly, cardio sclerosis, loss of appetite,
anaemia, anorexia and digestive system discomforts (e.g.,
flatulence, cramps). A person with an excess of orange
could express confusion, tiredness, and pessimism.
Yellow
Third Chakra: solar plexus - just above the belly button
Increases neuromuscular tone. Purifies blood, helps
digestion, and has a cleansing effect. Strongly
stimulates happiness, brings on a sense of security, as
well as a strong feeling of well-being.
Green
Fourth Chakra: heart
Regulates the pituitary gland, fights depression,
bulimia, and other pychosomatic conditions affecting the
gastric system. It is useful in calming the nervous
system, fights irritability, insomnia and can be used to
assist in recovery from nervous breakdowns.
Blue
Fifth Chakra: throat
Calming. Stimulates the parasympathetic system, reduces
blood pressure and calms both breathing and heart-rate.
It has anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing effects.

Indigo
Sixth Chakra: lower part of the forehead
Indigo is believed to be a cooling color that develops
psychic perception and intuition. It is applied in
health treatments for eyes, ears, nose, and mental
problems. It is also used in attempts to treat
addiction. Indigo is also ascribed to have sedative and
calming effects. Some chromotherapists say indigo may be
useful in controlling bleeding, and treating abscesses.
Sometimes the color violet also gets associated with
this chakra, depending upon the practitioner's training.
Violet
Seventh Chakra: top of the head
Practitioners name violet to be the color of the
emotions and it is considered to be a meditative color.
In color therapy and in particular in color acupuncture,
violet is applied for treating the lymphatic system and
the spleen. Violet is also used in attempts to soothe
organs, relax muscles, and calm the nervous system. A
person with an excess of this color could express
fanaticism and domination. The color white or magenta
can also be associated with this chakra, depending upon
the practitioner's training.
