Colour Influence is the first in a series where we look at colour in our life. Next we took a basic look at chakras.
Over the next few posts we’ll look at the 7 chakra colours as well as white and black. Each chakra colour has influence on a physical, emotional and mental level. We’ll also see how the colour is reflected in our clothes and décor. Starting at the Base Chakra with Colour RED
Today we’re looking at the colour ORANGE
The Sacral chakra is in the lower abdomen, about 2 inches below the navel, it’s colour is ORANGE.
This is our connection and ability to accept new experiences.
- Physically – This chakra animates the body supplying it with nutrients and loving warm physical contact with others. A healthy ORANGE chakra would reveal plenty of outgoing energy.
- Emotionally – ORANGE encourages joy, fun and pleasure. Positive qualities show courage, confidence and good communication. A negative response is fearful, shy and timid.
