Chakra Insight

This morning during a yoga class, we were focusing on the chakras and the colors associated with them.

The three lower chakras are all associated with basic drives and physical issues.
As we started with deep red in the root chakra, I was picturing the smoldering hot temperatures it takes to glow red, and associating that with the red hot issues of sex, money and power.

A little farther up the spiritual evolution scale, the next chakra is orange; a more refined, hotter temperature.

The yellow of the next higher chakra can be created with still hotter temperatures.

Sometimes the heart chakra is associated with pink. Pink is a mixture of white light (very hot) and a touch of red. It denotes that the heart is at the top of the lower chakras, with a nod to its roots. The heart is also associated with green, which is the bottom of the upper chakras.

The upper chakras are associated with senses and higher, more spiritual issues.
I realized that the colors associated with those can no longer be created from heat. You get them by differentiating white light (like with a prism).


The insight tells me that the lower chakras are built on fire and heat. When they are working well, we achieve a white enough light for the upper chakras to differentiate into spiritual energy.
