I want to know and remember more about the colours that we are. The chakras, the energies our body, our mind, our emotions they all have colours don't they?
I just read a book where it says meditating on the chakras and their colurs helps to clean them and work more in accordance with the universal energies. Starting in the first chakra to the upper chakras the colurs will be red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo and violet. Does anybody have personal experience with this?
When I am frightened, threatend and angry this has something to do with the first chakra. Today I had the experience and felt the connection better. Then I remembered about the meditation. In the meditation one is advised to concentrate on the first chakra, try to imagine it turning in red. When I tried this I had a resistance. I thought if I concentrate on the first chakra will this not make these feelings stronger? Then I thought to myself: The most important thing here is bringing balance. This means bringing this chakra in more accordance with the other chakras and universal energies and as long as my desire is this it cannot be wrong to focus on this chakra. I think fear, angriness etc. are not a result or a blame of this chakra but a sign that it is not working properly. Maybe there is no reason to fear but the chakra is not balanced so working on that chakra cannot be wrong. Maybe this will bring peace and safety. In all my work I am trying to be open, honest and innocent about my desire to discover more about who I am. In fact I really don't know what I am doing and would be glad if anybody has experiences to share.
I don't feel that you will be harmed in any way by concentrating on any or all chakras. There are many, many books on the subject, and I can't say that I've made a lengthy study of chakras specifically, although I have a few such books in my library.
However in my studies of gemstones, which are carriers of various light rays, I've learned that the body can be open to more healing as the light rays are strengthened.
It has been my experience that anything upon which I focus, is strengthened. Therefore if I focus on a specific chakra, it will become strengthened.
My sensing of the red chakra, also called the root or base chakra, is not so much that it relates to anger, but that it grounds us to the earth. When our root chakra is open, we feel a sense of security and belonging. The red chakra focuses on our basic needs such as food and water, shelter and clothing - that sort of thing.
It would be true that if you are feeling anger, you would also feel threatened and that it would feel as though your basic needs aren't being met, and therefore you may feel or sense something in the root chakra area.
Focusing on the red chakra to RESOLVE anger however, will not really help you resolve the issue, because the chakra is an external vortex that has substance, energy, color etc. Any problem one is having with a chakra is an indication of an inner, non-physical condition that will not be resolved by focusing on the external object called 'chakra'.
It's like putting some ointment and a bandage on the skin over a tumor. It may cover up the condition, but it doesn't resolve it.
Focusing on the chakras and increasing their vibrancy is not going to hurt anyone, and there could be a good argument for doing this, in order to increase the strength of bringing healing color rays into the body.
But will it bring peace and safety to me if I concentrate on the chakras? No, because it is an external condition indicating an internal issue that I am creating.
Peace and safety are brought about by a change of mind. Not by putting a bandage over a tumor. The tumor is caused by something non-physical within me, my choice for fear, which results in me manifesting in the physical, a tumor. The fear I have which is manifesting as the tumor is not located in the root chakra, it's located in my belief in lack, my belief in an unsafe universe, and my belief that I am separate from everything.
Change the belief, change the mind, and the manifestation of the tumor dissolves, as does the anger, and the red chakra (as well as all the others) is brightened and strengthened.
One has to go to the cause always. The chakras, along with the rest of the physical universes, are simply an effect.
This is a very good subject and I'm glad you brought it up. Much love, Chris
"This means bringing this chakra in more accordance with the other chakras and universal energies and as long as my desire is this it cannot be wrong to focus on this chakra."
You're right, it is not wrong to focus on this chakra or any other. But as long as we're talking about "bringing into more accordance", it might be helpful to heed these words, from Jeshua in The Way of Mastery:
"The Way of the Heart is not a way of gaining power. It is not a way in which you will finally be able to make the world be what you want it to be. Rather, it is that pathway in which you learn to transcend and to dissolve from your consciousness every perception, every thought, which is out of alignment with what is true. The thought of death is out of alignment. The thought of fear is out of alignment. The thought of guilt is out of alignment.
"The thought of eternal life is IN alignment. The thought of perfect fearlessness is IN alignment. The thought of peace is IN alignment. The realization of innocence is IN alignment. The thoughts of joy and of forgiveness are IN alignment and reflect the Truth that is true always.
"For although you are given complete free will to create as you choose, the soul begins to learn that what brings it the highest joy, the highest peace, and the highest bliss imaginable is that which flows from the Mind of God through the mind of the channel, the soul, and expresses itself in the field of experience."
Our happiness Burake, our peace and safety, is found in choosing to restore our perfect alignment with our own Teacher within, which is the Teacher of Love, of Peace, of Harmony, of Joy. It's by aligning with this that healing takes place. Only love heals.
No amount of concentration on a chakra will teach me in 100 years what the feeling of 10 seconds of being in a state of pure appreciation and love will teach me. That FEELING of joy produced by choosing love, is our guidepost to our home.
Here is another view. I often use color when doing healing work. As much as I am aware of the chakras I enter the individuals aura, using crystals, and assign colors to the emotional energies a person may be struggling with. This way they can back up from the reaction, and enter their own place of self empowerment, and healing. As one person said its very hard to be angry with the color green when the emotional pain of loss breaks open your heart. Color therapy has been around for a long time.
Color Therapy
Always take what rings true for you...then make it yours as you know best how to heal, and grow within you. Colors retain energy within imagery.
Assigning colors is about emotionally giving you some distance from your reactions, and the confusion, or pain you feel. This is extremely important for someone who has faced trauma, memories without closure, disease, abuse, and so on. When one gets too close to the pain, they feed the pain, and the wounds stay open. They loose focus as to what they are trying to do inside them.
Say you have a painful memory of loss. When you assign a color...You take on the energy imprint of the color as a tool to assist your own growing, and healing awareness.
Green is about growing, Healing, embracing the experience from the larger picture, and about stretching beyond the limits you feel trapped in.
Yellow is about illumination, opening, awakening, and blue is about cleansing, harmony, relations to the all, movement, and rebirth.
Red is about intensity, insight, intent, fire, and purple is about the sacredness inside us, who we are, what we see when we face our whole self knowing we are only here for the experiences, lessons, and growing. We are here to shift our present awareness.
Example; when you assign Green to the feelings of loss you walk in the growing understanding of why, you walk in forgiveness, hope, and knowing everything is personal, and nothing is personal. We are not here to be attached, but to awaken to a new depth, and understanding for us, and for the greater whole.
Move through the colors as desired but give yourself time to color the rainbow inside you. We need not live forever in the storms, but have the ability to rejoice in the changes that help us accomplish that which we are here for. As you broaden this concept you can include understandings, and healing in others as well as in past lives that still hold onto a residual unfinished energy.
This is where the original story of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow comes from. The act of experiencing our own alchemy by turning what we live…into pure gold. In this way we live in our own lack, or abundance as we so choose. What we focus on grows.
Thank you for your messages friends. It is to me that I feel simply chaotic these days. I cannot tell you where it comes from. I feel angry and afraid and highly sensitive with apparently no reason. I simply try to understand the reasons and work on them. For this I somehow need to calm down I believe. My mind is running from one fear to another from one judgement to another. I am simply trying to have a clear head to be able to work on my inner world. I believe that the mind can be used to come to a better understanding about who we are. All te thoughts that P'taah offers go also over our mind, don't they? That's why it sounded to me very interesting what aireal said. I want to use my ability to think,observe,analyse and accept in a more effective way. I think we cannot do it without he mind. When for example I sometimes find myself judging a person I suddenly say to myself, OK but I behave sometimes also like that. This thought comes through the mind and it is for sure a healing (accepting that the other person is not to be judged and getting united again on this way). So thanks again.
