Color Visualization Chakra Exercise
Each chakra corresponds to its like vibration in the color spectrum. “Color
therapy” can be used to stimulate the chakras via physical projection of color and
light. But more importantly, we can use the power of visualization to stimulate the
various chakras. Physically, the areas of the chakras are associated with complex
nerve bundles or plexus’, and the location of special endocrine glands.
First we have the root chakra, the area below the gonads; its color is red.
Next is the second chakra, located behind the area about two inches below the
navel (towards the spine); its color is orange.
The third chakra is the Solar
Plexus;
located behind the area below the cartilage of the breast bone (but in front of
the
spine); its color is golden yellow.
Next we have the fourth or heart chakra (you
can
guess its location); its color is green.
Then we have the fifth chakra,
sometimes
called the thyroid or throat chakra; its color is blue.
Centered at the
pituitary gland
located behind the middle of the forehead, is the sixth chakra, also called the
third
eye or ajna; its color is purple.
Finally we come to the crown chakra or “thousand
petaled lotus”. Sometimes called the Seat of the Soul, it centers at the pineal
gland in the middle of the head; its color is violet-white.
From the poles of the root chakra and the crown chakra, energy flows and
surrounds you in a form akin to a magnetic field.
DOING IT:
Sit with your spine erect. Visualize colored light energy at each chakra
starting with the root chakra and flowing upwards in the order as was just given
in
the previous paragraph. Dwell on each chakra for at least one breath cycle (inhale
and exhale), longer if you can visualize the colors better. When you are done
with
the crown chakra, begin again at the root chakra. Keep repeating this for twenty
minutes or as long as you have time for.
