Colours in Reiki and the Magic of Chakras

The Enchanted Spectrum: Colours in Reiki and the Magic of Chakras

Once upon a time, in a world where energy flowed like rivers and colours danced in the air, there existed a mystical practice known as Reiki. This ancient art of healing harnessed the power of the universe to bring balance and harmony to all who sought its wisdom. But what made Reiki truly enchanting were the vibrant colours that accompanied it, each one holding a special place in the heart of this magical practice.

In the land of Reiki, colours were not just hues to be seen with the eyes; they were the very essence of energy itself. Each colour resonated with a specific frequency, and together, they formed a rainbow bridge that connected the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms. These colours were the guardians of the seven chakras, the energy centers within our bodies that spun like wheels of light.

Let us embark on a journey through this enchanted spectrum and discover the meanings of the 7 chakra colours:

    1. Red - The Root Chakra (Muladhara): At the base of the spine lies the Root Chakra, glowing with the fiery red of the earth. This colour symbolizes safety, grounding, and survival. It is the foundation upon which we build our lives, providing stability and strength.

    2. Orange - The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Just below the navel, the Sacral Chakra radiates with the warm orange of a setting sun. This colour represents creativity, joy, and passion. It is the wellspring of our emotions and the source of our creative energy.

    3. Yellow - The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Above the navel, the Solar Plexus Chakra shines with the brilliant yellow of the midday sun. This colour embodies confidence, personal power, and self-esteem. It is the seat of our willpower and the fire that fuels our ambitions.

    4. Green - The Heart Chakra (Anahata): In the center of the chest, the Heart Chakra glows with the soothing green of a lush forest. This colour signifies love, compassion, and healing. It is the bridge between the physical and spiritual, connecting us to others and to the world around us.

    5. Blue - The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): At the throat, the Throat Chakra radiates with the serene blue of a clear sky. This colour represents communication, self-expression, and truth. It is the voice of our inner wisdom and the channel through which we share our thoughts and feelings.

    6. Indigo - The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): In the center of the forehead, the Third Eye Chakra glows with the deep indigo of a starry night. This colour symbolizes intuition, insight, and inner wisdom. It is the gateway to our higher consciousness and the realm of dreams and visions.

    7. Violet - The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): At the top of the head, the Crown Chakra shines with the ethereal violet of a twilight sky. This colour represents spirituality, enlightenment, and divine connection. It is the portal to the infinite, where we merge with the universal energy.


When we visualize these colours during Reiki, something magical happens within our bodies. The energy centers begin to align, and the flow of life force energy is restored. Each colour bathes its corresponding chakra in healing light, dissolving blockages and bringing balance to our entire being. The red of the Root Chakra grounds us, the orange of the Sacral Chakra ignites our creativity, the yellow of the Solar Plexus Chakra empowers us, the green of the Heart Chakra fills us with love, the blue of the Throat Chakra opens our communication, the indigo of the Third Eye Chakra sharpens our intuition, and the violet of the Crown Chakra connects us to the divine.

In this enchanted world of Reiki, colours are not just seen; they are felt, experienced, and lived. They are the threads that weave the tapestry of our existence, guiding us on our journey to wholeness and peace. So, let us embrace the magic of colours and allow them to illuminate our path, for in their radiant glow, we find the true essence of healing and harmony.

In our Let it go with Reiki sessions, we embrace the magic of colour therapy to enhance the healing experience. Our unique chakra room lighting assists in visualizing and channeling the vibrant colours of our energy centers bringing forth a higher connection and deeper healing. Each colour resonates with a specific energy center, and by focusing on these colours, we can dissolve blockages, restore balance, and elevate our personal vibration.

One of our clients, Josephine, shared her experience with colour therapy during a Reiki session in a client testimonial. We are humbled and thankful for this share: 

“I was initially skeptical about the impact of colours on my energy healing journey. However, during my Reiki session, I felt an incredible shift. As the practitioner guided me through the visualization of each chakra colour, I could feel the energy flowing more freely. The red of the Root Chakra grounded me, the green of the Heart Chakra filled me with love, and the violet of the Crown Chakra connected me to a higher consciousness. It was a transformative experience that left me feeling balanced, rejuvenated, and at peace. The fact that Calah knew before I arrived which colour to shine in the room to benefit my state of overwhelm was amazing.” Jo Callum, Burlington, Ontario
