The seven chakras and their colours
| Chakra | Location | Colour | Reflection question it stands for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root | Base of spine | Red | Do I feel safe and provided for? |
| Sacral | Lower abdomen | Orange | Am I enjoying anything? Creating anything? |
| Solar plexus | Upper abdomen | Yellow | Do I feel capable and in charge of my life? |
| Heart | Centre of chest | Green | Am I letting people close? Am I grieving? |
| Throat | Throat | Blue | Am I saying what I mean? |
| Third eye | Between the brows | Indigo | Am I paying attention to what I notice? |
| Crown | Top of head | Violet | Does my life feel connected to something larger? |
Read that way, “my throat chakra is blocked” means “I have not been speaking up”, which is a real thing to notice and a real thing to change. Read as anatomy, it becomes a reason to pay for balancing sessions that cannot balance anything. Understanding chakra healing covers what those sessions involve.
How the aura is said to follow
In the joined system, the aura is the field the chakras produce: bright and clear when they “spin freely”, dim or muddy when they are blocked. So an aura reader who sees green around you would say your heart chakra is open. In practice the reader is reading your mood and manner and translating it into the vocabulary, which is why aura colours track how you seem rather than anything measurable. The colours themselves (orange for emotional flow, red for physical vitality, yellow for clear thinking, green for love, blue for expression, indigo for vision, violet for purpose) are the same set used for the chakras.
What is worth keeping
- The reflection questions. They are a decent weekly check-in.
- The advice that usually accompanies chakra work: sleep, movement, breathing, time outside. It works for ordinary reasons.
- The vocabulary, if you like it, as a way of talking about how you and others come across.
- Paid “balancing”, “clearing” or “repair” of chakras or aura. There is nothing to repair; see how removal scams work.
- Using “blocked chakra” as an explanation for symptoms a doctor should see.

“Oh sure, let’s all just meditate away our problems while spinning our chakras like they’re top toys! Next thing you know, they’ll be marketing ‘Chakra Spin Classes’ at the local gym!”
This article provides an interesting overview of chakras and auras, highlighting their distinct roles in our energy systems. It’s fascinating how our emotions can affect these energy fields and, in turn, our overall well-being.
“Chakra cleansing sounds great until you realize your bank account is blocked too! If only meditation could fix my finances as easily as it fixes my chakras! Who knew enlightenment was so costly?”
“Fascinating stuff here! But isn’t it worth mentioning that many spiritual practices lack empirical support? Understanding these concepts is fun, but let’s not forget the importance of critical thinking in exploring spirituality.”
While I appreciate the intention behind this article, I find the notion that emotions directly affect our chakras quite debatable. Isn’t it more likely that our feelings are influenced by external factors rather than some mystical energy centers?
I really enjoyed this article! It breaks down the differences between chakras and auras in a simple way. The explanations of each chakra and its location are clear and informative. I feel more enlightened already!
Honestly, this whole concept seems like pseudoscience to me. Chakras and auras? It sounds more like mystical nonsense than anything credible. There’s no scientific evidence backing these claims, so why should we believe any of it?
“I’m intrigued by how to read auras but still have questions about practicality. How do we utilize this knowledge in daily life? Can anyone really see these energy fields or is it just wishful thinking?”
“Great question! While some claim to see auras, many use intuition to gauge emotions based on body language and energy levels—no superpowers required! But hey, wouldn’t it be cool if we did have them?”
