Colors for Vishuddha Chakra
Several factors can contribute to the disruption of energy to our chakra centers. The Vishuddha Chakra is the fifth chakra and represents one’s ability to communicate and authentically express themselves without fear or anxiety.
Imbalances in this chakra can manifest in a variety of ways. For some it may appear
as fear or anxiety in speech, difficulty in expressing their feelings, inability to communicate with others etc. On the other hand, the chakra may also be overactive wherein a person is often loud and disruptive when others are talking.
The color of the Vishuddha chakra is blue which is often used to represent communication and empathy. The use of this color can help bring about balance
in the energy of the chakra as well as evoke these emotions in a person.
Having a balanced Vishuddha Chakra is important to develop and maintain authentic relationships with oneself and others. When energy is balanced and free-flowing here, people are connected with their inner being and feel confident in expressing it outwards. Also, they are able to offer a safe and joyous listening space for others to share their true thoughts as well.
The color typically associated with the Vishuddha chakra is blue. The use of this color can help balance the energy here and bring about characteristics such as improved communication, compassion, imagination, sincerity, and others.
By bringing shades of blue in a variety of ways into your daily life, you can help match and balance the energy of this chakra.
One popular way to use blue for the Vishuddha chakra is through jewelry and gemstones. The blue topaz, lapis lazuli, aquamarine, turquoise and other blue gems work wonders to activate this chakra.
The shades of blue used in these stones can help support emotional health, protect against negative emotions, promote a calming effect, and stimulate creativity and self-expression, among others.
While all these gemstones are helpful for the Vishuddha Chakra, it is important to factor in individual personalities when choosing the stone. In case you have a history towards a stone or are intuitively drawn to a particular one, be sure to look deeper into that one.
You can use these gemstones as crystals in your meditation or place them in your room. Another great way to use these gemstones is in the form of a necklace with the stone resting at the base of your throat – in line with the chakra.
Other forms of healing the Vishuddha Chakra using the color blue include the following:
- Wear blue clothes – use shades of blue for your tops and add some matching bracelets to energize your day. You can also wrap a blue scarf around your neck.
- Decorate your room with blue paintings. You can use the calming images of an ocean or a clear blue sky which also produce a calming effect.
- Add blue elements to your décor such as gemstones or objects.
- Meditate to a calming scene of blue such as an ocean and feel yourself surrounded by their calming and positive energy.
Colors possess different vibrations which work wonders for our emotional and physical well-being. While using blue is great for the Vishuddha chakra, every color has its role in our life. Surrounding oneself with a variety of colors is a great way to keep the mood elevated and enjoy free-flowing energy at different energy frequencies.
A blocked or imbalanced Vishuddha Chakra can cause problems in communication, speech, and creativity. It can lead to feelings of being stifled as well as resentment. Using the energy of the color blue can be a significant step in helping you overcome these concerns and bring you in deeper alignment with your true authentic self.
