Chakra Color Variations and Their Meaning

 

Variations in chakra color can indicate a person's present state of health and spiritual wellness.

When the color of a chakra is a clear, appealing variation of the basic color, it's probably fairly healthy.

Discolorations, especially muddy or gray shades or markings, can indicate imbalance, blockage, or pollution/adulteration (e.g. from thought forms, unprocessed emotions, illness, drugs, addiction, depression, etc.). Streaking or weakness of color can also indicate problems.

However, flecks of other colors in a chakra whose color is otherwise rich, pure, and strong do not indicate a problem.

If you sense that one of your chakras needs some support, you might spend some time sending it a clear tint of its appropriate color.

Here are some possible interpretations of chakra color variations. Keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and that every person must be interpreted on a case-by-case basis. (In the chart, "unclear" means gray, blotchy, muddy, streaked, or any other distortion from a pure, clear color.)

The Solar Plexus Chakra and Yellow

 

(Please see the pdf for the diagrams)

 

Yellow: The color of the Solar Plexus chakra, also known as Manipura. This chakra is located in the stomach area and is linked to organs &muscular system in that area.

The Solar Plexus chakra is representative of vitality and will. When this chakra is open, it acts to empower a person and help them find their personal strength. It will help turn dreams and goals into reality.

Gemstones that will aid the Solar Plexus chakra include amber, topaz, citrine, yellow calcite, yellow jasper.

 

The Solar Plexus Chakra and Yellow

Located below the ribs, the solar plexus chakra is the monitor of the majority of the digestive system; the stomach, small intestine, spleen, liver and pancreas. Problems in these organs like gall stones, liver disease, diabetes and pancreatitis are rooted in the solar plexus chakra. Yellow being the color of self-worth, inner personality and ego, its energy defines the way we feel about ourselves, and consequently others’ perception of us. An imbalance of yellow energy can lower self-esteem, increase analytical thinking and lead to cynical or pessimistic thinking. Those blessed with yellow are optimistic, cheerful and confident.

 

 

Yellow chakra color meanings:
The third, solar plexus chakra. Moving out of the prime center of raw matter, having joined with polarity we now come into a seat of personal power and awareness. Yellow is the dawning of a new perception. As the sun is the center of our galaxy, the third chakra is a golden energetic orb of centralized force. It can feed us, sustain us, teach us, and magnify our (already magnificently intense) ancillary energies. Yellow is the beacon held under a magnifying glass. What we submit for contemplation is amplified by the solar plexus chakra. This is because we have entered the dawn of specialized perception. When yellow gently strokes its fingertips across your awareness, it's prompting focus. Focus into the core of inner being, inner intelligence. This yellowy core asks us to honor the fullness of who we are.

 

Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra contains fiery, transformative energy that radiates the essence of the self to the outside world, harmonizing the inner and outer environments. A healthy solar plexus chakra will manifest as a brilliant expression of personal power accompanied by balanced energy flow and clear perceptions of life situations.

 

 

Chakra Color: Yellow

Health Associations:

Responsible for the transformative functions of the body, including the digestive organs: esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestines, liver, and gallbladder. Oversees the "energy exchange" of the body through the generation of ATP, the body’s physical currency of energy, which is supplied by cell structures known as mitochondria (often referred to as "powerhouses of the cell").

Solar Plexus Chakra Healing Foods: Carbohydrates (complex), fiber, whole grains, legumes, yellow-colored foods (yellow sweet peppers, yellow lentils, corn, etc.)

  

3 - Navel chakra

The Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. When it is open, you feel in control and you have sufficient self esteem.

When the Navel chakra is under-active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. You're probably timid and don't get what you want.

If this chakra is over-active, you are domineering and probably even aggressive.

  

 Open the Navel Chakra

Put your hands before your stomach, slightly below your solar plexus. Let the fingers join at the tops, all pointing away from you. Cross the thumbs. It is important to straighten the fingers.
Concentrate on the Navel chakra located on the spine, a bit above the level of the navel.
Chant the sound RAM.
