Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Cyndi Dale, author of a number of books, including Advanced Chakra Healing, Energy Work for the Everyday to Elite Athlete, and the new Root Chakra.
You gotta love that root chakra, and all the cool activities it performs. Because of our first chakra, located in our hips, we get to be safe and secure. We are open to physical needs, like money, a great career, and housing. Employing our adrenals, it supercharges us for good health and even a passionate sex life.
We see the first chakra as red. That’s the bandwidth of frequencies it operates on. But it incorporates all versions of red.
Did you know you can access different hues for specific goals?
I’m going to share various red shades of red and tell you what each can specifically add to your life. How do you access a particular coloration of red? You can imagine that shade inside your hips or coccyx, mirror it in your clothing (like maybe as underwear, pants, or a skirt worn near your root?!), or even grab paint strips and take turns carrying them in a hip pocket.
Go red—all sorts of red!
True red:passion; ability to dominate and win, meet goals, and attract money and sexual interest
Black red: presence; the black enables you to be fully present and aggressively potent
Light red: sensitivity; attracts light romance, easy action, and simple joy
Red brown: harvesting; the brown adds grounding and trustworthiness
Blood red: regalness; accesses full-on power and turns on ancestral/genetic capabilities
Maroon: success; the brownish (with tones of violet) tone supports ambitiousness with relaxation
Crimson: courage; the brightness activates strength and invites attention, and the pink-purple tones add spiritual intuition and invites attention
Salmon: happiness; the extra pink and orange stir hope, fellowship, and good health
Tomato: vitality; creates connections with others and stimulates action
Scarlet: manifesting; the orange enflames creativity and innovation
Raspberry: soothes; the blue enables calm and steadiness
Mahogany: steadiness; the browns release natural strength and links to earth and stars
Burgundy: sophistication; the blue-purple tones allows individuality while cloaking actions in mystery
Want a couple of other suggestions?
To your red, add a little orange for creativity, yellow for structuring your ambitions, and white for purity of goals. Then mix and match as you desire with other colors, whichever you enjoy.
Sounds fun and productive, right? It is! Let your root chakra bring sizzle to your life with the splashes of color that can do the job.
