Chakras are ancient energy centres located in every human body. Every human has these seven energy centres that stretch from just above your head to the base of the trunk of your body. These are direct pipelines to the Eternal, the cosmic, the Creator, the I Am. The word Chakra comes from the word used for these energy centres in the ancient language of Sanskrit. It meant ‘wheels of light’, and often, in meditation and viewed with your spiritual senses, you will see them as whirling circles of light. What colour they are, what direction they are turning, these are very unique to each person. They can also change from time to time depending on emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health. The seven Chakras can be used to determine a person’s health, and which one is out of alignment can affect the physical body.

The normal, accepted colours for these Chakras are likely to change depending on what is going on with you and your body. To regain a Chakras ‘normal’ colour you may need to direct a completely different colour to it. Meditate and lower your focus to the energy centre. Let whatever colour you feel it needs flow into the Chakra. Do this in turn to each Chakra. Also make note of what the Chakra looks like. Is it a spinning wheel? Is is a mathematic shape? Is it moving? What colour is it at the start? What colour is it when you finished? Aiming white light from the Universe/God/Creator is the best to start with.
