Learn what colors support the chakras


Colors can have impact on our body's energies. They can help to clear negative emotions and energy and restore balance. Each color is associated with a different energy center, or chakra, in the body. Here is some information about each color and the chakra it can effect.

Red
Red is a vibrant color that stimulates the body. Too much red can overexcite and even cause anger. People with high blood pressure or anxiety may wish to avoid wearing too much red. This color can be used therapeutically for energy conditions associated with low blood pressure, inactivity, and impotence.

Yellow
Yellow is associated with the solar plexus chakra. An imbalance in the solar plexus can manifest as fear, apprehension, introversion or power issues, which this color can help to balance.
Yellow is associated with the intellect and mental processes. It can be used therapeutically for people with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis due to its vibrational link to calcium metabolism. In addition to the metabolic system, the solar plexus affects the digestive system and is related to the eyes.

Orange
Orange can stimulate the respiratory and nervous systems and bring joy, making it useful for depression or melancholy. It is associated with the sacral chakra, so it can benefit the kidneys and urinary systems. The sacral chakra is also related to the adrenal glands, so orange can help to balance adrenal depletion or exhaustion resulting from chronic stress or overwork.

Green
Green is a color that can help bring balance to the body and help purify and cleanse. It is related to the heart chakra, so it can help with issues stemming from too much or too little self-love or rejection.

Turqoise
Turquoise is associated with the throat chakra and is responsible for strengthening the immune system against disease. It is also involved in improving communication. Turqoise can have an anti-inflammatory effect. It calms and strengthens the voice, and can help to improve verbal expression.

Blue
Blue is a very calming and sedating color. Blue is related to the brow chakra. It can help to balance energy when there is high blood pressure, migraine, asthma, anxiety and skin irritation. It is a protective color that helps to protect you during challenging times by strengthening intuition and insight.

Purple
Purple is associated with spirituality, being linked to the crown chakra. It can help when personal transformation is desired, and can also help to bring self-respect and inner wisdom, which is a vital aspect of self-healing.
