Aligning Your Chakra Colors For Faster Manifestation
Get your chakra colors in order and start creating your dream life!
Everything is energy, including us, and when it’s flowing freely manifestation is easy. However, when it’s blocked you may feel a little ‘off color’. In this post we’ll explore the human energy centres (known as chakras), the 7 chakra colors and how to work with them to fine tune your manifestations. We’ll cover:

What Are Chakras?
Chakras are energy centres located throughout our bodies, each corresponding to different aspects of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
The word ‘chakra’ means wheel in Sanskrit. There are seven main chakras that run along the spine, starting from the base and moving up to the crown of the head. When these chakras, or ‘wheels’ of energy, are blocked, out of balance or closed altogether, physiological and psychological problems can develop in the body. When they are balanced and aligned, you can harness this inner power and manifest your desires more effectively.
For example, the root chakra is associated with stability and grounding, while the solar plexus chakra is linked to personal power and intellect. By understanding these energy centres and working on balancing them through practices like meditation, yoga, or Reiki healing, you can clear any blockages that may be hindering you from achieving your goals.
However, simply by working with the energy of the color that is representative of each chakra you can open up these centres enough to rebalance them and bring harmony back to the body.
The Seven Chakras and Their Colors
Each of the chakras is associated with one of the seven absolute colors (those found in the rainbow) and affects and influences different areas of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Let’s go through them one by one:
1. Root Chakra (Sanskrit name: Muladhara) - This is located at the base of your spine and is represented by the color red. It's all about grounding, stability, and feeling secure in your physical body.
2. Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) - Located just below your belly button, this chakra is linked to creativity, passion, and pleasure. Its color is orange.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - Found in the upper abdomen area, this chakra governs personal power, self-esteem, and intellect. Its color is yellow.
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) - As you might guess, this chakra relates to love, compassion, and emotional balance. Its color is green.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - Situated at the throat region, this chakra deals with communication and self-expression. Its color is blue.
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Located between the eyebrows, this chakra connects us to intuition, inner wisdom, and insight. Its color is indigo.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - Finally, we have the crown chakra at the top of our head which represents spirituality, enlightenment,and connection to higher consciousness. Its color is violet or white.
Working With Chakra Colours To Manifest
Energetic alignment is a key part of successful manifesting. Once you have identified what it is that you would like to bring into your life you can work out which chakras you need to balance in order to get it. For example, if you’re manifesting a new home you might work with the red of the root chakra to enhance feelings of security and belonging.
One personal example is how I used blue to manifest being a guest of one of my favourite podcasts. I want to be able to use my voice more and become a better speaker but to do this I need practice so, last summer I set myself the goal of doing a podcast.
I knew I had to open up my throat chakra more. Sky blue is the colour that represents this but I have subconsciously always avoided all blues. After doing a lot of inner work to figure out why I realised that I have a lot of negative connotations with that color, but that’s a story for another post!
I have no blue anywhere in my home, but by becoming aware of this I began working to clear these obstacles, bringing more blue in to my workspace and also visualising blue light surrounding my throat area during meditation.
This allowed the energy to flow and I am learning to express myself more freely and easily. I not only manifested my goal but I guested on several other podcasts too!
Chakra Balancing Techniques Using Color
The Rainbow Breath
One of the best ways to align your energy centres is to do a chakra balancing meditation using the Rainbow Breath technique. This is best done in the morning, preferably outside, so you can fully absorb the sun’s rays but you can always do it lying down if inside.
Follow these simple steps:
• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and let your arms hang loosely by your side.
• Close your eyes and breathe in the corresponding color for each chakra, starting with red at the root. Imagine that part of your body being bathed in colored light.
• Inhale and exhale slowly for a count of seven breaths before moving up to the next chakra.
When you have completed the rainbow breath, be still for a few moments to integrate the experience fully. Repeat if necessary.
Chakras and Crystals
You can also align chakras with crystals. The energy contained within a specific crystal can balance and harmonise the physical and subtle energy bodies. They are ideal for healing and clearing toxicity. Lying down, place a small crystal in the associated color on the body where the chakra is located. Simply relax and let the crystal get to work. You may want to meditate, or do some yoga nidra and you can further enhance the process by adding the rainbow breath described above.
Some crystals you may like to try:
Root: Red Jasper, Sacral: Orange Calcite, Solar Plexus: Citrine, Heart: Jade, Throat: Sodalite, Third Eye: Lepidolite, Crown: Apophyllite
There are a plethora of crystal sellers online but I get mine from Rock And Realm.
Directed Color Affirmations
Repeating color affirmations is another great way to clear any chakra blockages. When spoken with intention and directed to each specific energy centre you can maximise their potency. If you have a particular ailment you want to heal you can write your own so they are completely bespoke or try these examples:
Root: “With Red I am grounded and secure and have the courage to realise my ambitions.”
Sacral: “With Orange I am revitalised and have the energy to move forward and fulfil my dreams.”
Solar Plexus: “With Yellow my thoughts are clear, rational and logical and always positive, I am focussed on manifesting my desires.”
Heart: “With Green I am calm and serene, and I am open and receptive to all that the Universe has to offer me.”
Throat: “With Blue I am confident and can speak my desires into existence with honesty and truth.”
Third Eye: “With Indigo I release my fears and trust my intuition to guide me to my purpose.”
Crown: “With Violet my mind is at peace and and I am open to receiving divine inspiration to achieve my goals.”
Aligning your chakra colors for manifestation can be a powerful tool in helping you achieve your goals and attract positive energy into your life. By focusing on balancing and harmonising these energy centres, you can tap into the full potential of your being and unlock the power of manifestation.
Take some time to explore the different colors associated with each chakra, incorporate them into your daily routine, and watch as the universe begins to align in your favour. Remember, it's all about finding that inner balance and letting your true colors shine through!
