Each chakra is represented by a separate color. Chakras are the energy groups of the body. Similarly, colors are the different wavelengths of light. Therefore the colors of one's chakras are not constant but rather fluid as they change with their feelings, or, the amount of energy produced. The chakras are listed in their base colors below.
When looking at a person's chakras you generally begin at the bottom. Think of it like building a house. You want to build the foundation before adding walls, windows, or doors. If a person's root chakra is out of balance is makes it more difficult to balance the other six chakras.
Chakra 1: Root
The root chakra is situated near the tip of the spine. This chakra is perhaps the most important as it represents the foundation of a person.
When open: One will feel secure in their life. They will be present mentally in most situations.
When over active: These individuals are hesitant to change. They tend to be materialistic and money hungry.
When under active: People often feel insecure or nervous with their lives. They may feel unwanted or unaccepted.
Chakra 2: Sacral (Or Spleen)
This chakra relates to feelings, sexuality, and acceptance of others. It can be found near the center of the pelvis region in the lower abdomen.
