Crystal The Crown: Located at the top of the head, this is the opening to the Universe, "That Which Is," the Creator or however you, personally, wish to speak about this. It is most easily held open through regular meditation and most easily closed by high mental activity. The optimal color is a crystalline white with purple flecks. Indigo The Cerebral Cortex: This is a newly emerging Chakra and it is located at the base of the skull. It has to do with the integration of all forms of information that we take in, including the written and spoken word, guidance, intuition, thought, and feeling. When fully active, it allows us to use and value all information available to us on an equal basis. Its normal color is indigo, an even blend of the colors of the Third Eye and Throat Chakras. Blue The Throat: This Chakra is found at the front center of the neck and reflects two elements: the formation shows a person's ability to communicate and the color shows a person's awareness of their inner truth. Together, they reflect a person's ability to communicate their inner truth. Turquoise The High Heart: Technically, this Chakra is associated with the Thymus and is located directly between the Heart and Throat Chakras. It reflects a person's understanding, acceptance and practice of the concepts of Universal Love and Compassion. To a lesser degree, it shows a person's ability and/or calling to healing/teaching work. It typically has a watermelon red center with a green ring around it. It looks much like a watermelon cut in half. When more fully developed, it has a turquoise glow around the outside. Green The Heart: This Chakra reflects a person's understanding of love, their ability to direct it toward and receive it from specific individuals, including himself or herself. It shows itself as being segmented. The ability to offer love to and receive love from the self is in the center with the same aspects, relative to others, as an outer ring. When completely healthy, the segments are hard to see. In this time, many people do not understand love well, largely because we have not been taught what it truly means. We are in a time of learning to understand what love is and can be in a new (or, perhaps, older) way. My guidance is that this will come as we understand universal love more fully and the green of the High Heart will be used to fill the Heart. In this way, directed love will become a derivative of universal love. Lime The Surrender or New "Action" Center: This is another of the emerging Chakras that is crucial to our evolution and is found right at the bottom of the sternum. It appears to be providing us with a new place to act from, nearer the Heart. It allows us to act from other than will or the self/identity, but without interfering with the work taking place within our Heart Chakra. It is an indicator Surrender of Self Will to the will of Creation. True commitment to our path and work assists in opening this Chakra further. Yellow The Solar Plexus: This Chakra reflects a person's sense of self, their identity and how one views these. Traditionally, it is the point from which we act and is the seat of personal will. It is located just below the rib cage and its normal color is yellow.
Orange The Vital or Emotional Center: This Chakra is our basis for feeling: it is the foundation of how we feel. Its associated and co-located with the primary nerve ganglion that comes out of the spine at a point about two inches below the navel. It can be found by following a line across the top of the hipbones to the center of the abdomen. Its normal color is orange. Red The Root: This Chakra reflects one's awareness of what survival means to oneself, or one's definition of survival. Its normal color is red and the easiest way to work with it is directly across the points of the hips.
