Chakra -- Colors and Purposes

The colors and purposes of the seven major chakras:     
  1.  The Root Chakra – located at the base of the spine in the perineum area, this chakra is red in color symbolizing energy and physical. It is the chakra closest to the earth and easily draws red, earth-energy into the body for strength and stamina. It is through the chakra that we find grounding and balance. The Root Chakra is primarily concerned with the basics in life -- food, shelter and clothing -- and all the other ingredients in life that focus on the survival of humanity, such as procreation and family.
  2.  The Sacral Chakra – located in the sacral area of the body (resting between the pelvic bones and above the pubic bone but below the navel) is orange in color and represents the pleasures, creativity, and enjoyment of life. It is the chakra of choices and preferences. It is significant that this chakra is between the red root chakra and the yellow solar plexus chakra as the colors red and yellow produces the color orange. On a spiritual level this blending of colors signifies that a balance must exist between the root issues (family, work, and survival) and the solar plexus issues (the summation of who we are) to find enjoyment and success in life.
  3.  The Solar Plexus Chakra – located in the area above the navel and under the breast bone is yellow in color like the sun. The solar plexus chakra is concerned with deeply understanding our true natures and that we are physical beings. It is about being OK with ourselves. When we are OK with ourselves, we can easily find the perfect work and love which enables us to find our life path.
  4.  The Heart Chakra – located in the area of the physical heart is green in color. It is concerned with growth -- spiritual, emotional, and physical -- as well as love. Understanding love is our primary goal. We must love and accept ourselves, love others, and love God/Divine mind before we can see and love the Divine in others. The heart chakra is seeing oneness in all things.
  5. The Throat Chakra – located in the hollow of the throat or on the male Adam’s apple is sky blue in color. This chakra is concerned with truth – speaking the truth and hearing the truth. When we realize we are multi-dimensional beings (body, mind, and soul) we begin to live in integrity, the state of being complete or undivided, whole.
  6. The Third-Eye Chakra – located on the brow between the two natural eyes is dark blue or lapis lazuli in color. The third-eye chakra is concerned with seeing and knowing what benefits us to attain our life path and goals.
  7.  The Crown Chakra – located on the crown of the head is either amethyst or crystal in color or a combination of both. It is our connection to Divine mind and is the way we communicate with God/Universe. It is our means of downloading information that is essential to living the life of our dreams and mastering our goals.

There are many other chakras located throughout the body and around the body. It has been estimated that there are 49 that can be named and located; however, anyone wanting to know more about chakras should first start with the seven major chakras and master the understanding behind each one.

Stay tuned for more next week!

Love and light,
Chariss

Crossing Over to the Other Side

Not many of us have received instructions on how to die. For that matter, not many of us have been instructed on how to live either. I dare to say that 99% of those reading this post have never heard any teaching or message on death and dying other than the five stages of grief from Psychology 101 [1] . Denial and isolation Anger   Bargaining   Depression Acceptance The idea of death and dying is filled with fear of punishment as compensation for how we lived this life. We have been told that we can expect either eternal damnation or a great mansion in the sky as our reward for the life we lead in the here and now of this existence. The basis of these teaching comes from religious doctrine and superstitious beliefs and are as varied as religions themselves. The reason we accept these beliefs is because we have forgotten who we are. Before we came into the womb we knew who we were. We were in touch with the light of the Universe, God’s light. We understood we were ...

Dabbling in Magic -- Blocking Universal Flow

So, you like to dabble in magic? Magic is more that illusions. It involves the practice of Wicca, witchcraft, or alchemy in an attempt to enchant or transform a person or situation. Is the practice of these methods conducive to your personal and spiritual growth? If we took a poll of today’s cultural beliefs about the use of these practices, we might find many conflicting answers. This post will help clarify these common terms used today. Magic Magic is commonly referred to as conjuring tricks and illusions such as the magic used by Houdini, Criss Angel, and David Blain – to name only a small number of the current famous magicians -- but it also refers to a the use of a supposed supernatural power to make something happen that would not likely happen without the use of conjuring. Magic is used to make someone or something change. This type of magic can be seen in love potions and love spells. The practitioner of magic believes that their power is greater than others and that their...

Working with Chakras

Image
Working with chakras might seem either unimportant or too complicated but it is a very important part of your spiritual growth. Working with chakras helps us to understand the physical and spiritual connection available to us. It is a realization of heaven on earth, “as it is above so it is below.” How do we start? The first and foremost part of working with your chakras is to be aware of their color and placement. (See the diagram below.) Now, sit quietly in a place where you will not be disturbed or distracted and visualize your own chakras just as those in the diagram above. Focus your attention on each one until you can sense its color and warmth. In the next few weeks, take one chakra at a time starting with the root chakra and concentrate on it, meditate on it. Allow it to open your understanding about its purpose in your life. Take mental notes or write the information in a journal. Then move on to the next chakra until you have reached the crown. For more information on ...
