Why are colors associated with the Chakras?

Each chakra contains all color variations, although one color always dominates. These colors correspond to the primary task of the chakra. Each globule that I spoke of earlier consist of seven (7) atoms. When these brilliant specks of light are drawn into the vortex of the 2nd (sacral or spleen) chakra, they are decomposed and break up into streams of different colors. As these seven (7) atoms are whirled around the vortex, each of the six spokes of the 2nd chakra seizes upon one of them so that all those charged with yellow flow along one spoke, those charged with green along another spoke, and so on, while the seventh atom disappears through the center of the vortex, or hub of the wheel. These rays then pass off in different directions, each ray destined to its special work in vitalization of the body.

It is important to note that the divisions of prana are not like what we normally see in the solar spectrum but resemble the arrangement of colors we see on the higher levels in the causal, mental and astral bodies.

For example, indigo is divided between the violet ray and the blue ray.

Red is divided into two -- rose-red and dark red.

Consequently, the six atom radiants are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and dark red, while the 7th, or rose-red atom passes down through the center of the vortex.


Vitality, therefore, is sevenfold in its constitution, but flowing through the body in five main streams. These five main streams are:

(1) the violet-blue ray
(2) the yellow ray
(3) the green ray
(4) the rose ray
(5) the orange-red ray

So it should be no surprise that here is a certain correspondence between the colors of the streams (flow) of prana and the chakras. These streams are:

Red Prana color enters the 1st (Root) chakra
Rose prana color enters the 2nd (Sacral or Spleen) chakra
Yellow (or gold) prana color enters the 3rd (Solar Plexus) chakra
Green prana color enters the 4th (Heart) chakra
Light-blue prana color enters the 5th (Throat) chakra
Dark-blue prana color enters the 6th (Third Eye?) chakra
Violet prana color enters the 7th (Crown - Third Eye?) chakra
