Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. The chakras of humans are wheels of energy. Life force energy flows in and out through the chakras. Each chakra has an area of life that its energy affects particularly. If a chakra is closed down or out of balance, life in that area will be affected. Open, strong and balanced chakras make all areas of our life better.

These points represent our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. When these points are healthy and in balance, then we are the equivalent.

In order to balance your energy points with color you first must access if your energy center points are balanced or unbalanced. Based on the physical, mental, emotional attitudes causing the unbalance, you can access the most prominent color needed. This is why Holistic Healing seeks the metaphysical cause behind the physical problem.

An under active chakra is usually one in which the energy is blocked or congested. The energy does not flow freely through the physical system. If a chakra is congested, blocked or under active, we lack the energy to perform our daily functions. An application of color can help to stimulate the chakra into a balanced state.

An overactive chakra is one in which over stimulation occurs. There is too much energy being drawn in and out of the center, aggravating a specific condition. An application of the complementary or opposite color is used.

The general rule for the chakra: If the chakra is under active, an application of its basic color is used. If the chakra is overactive, then the application of the complementary or opposite color is used.
