There are two colors associated with each of the chakras. One set of colors are for the healing process that is likely to take place; the healing colors are those which are indiginous to each chakra. Each chakra also has a balancing color. The balancing color is useed when the intensity of the healing color becomes to great.
As an understanding of the chakra system develops, the chakras may be balanced using the healing colors that are the auspices of that particular chakra or the higher vibration of that color or the balancing color. If a chakra appears to be a different color - other than the healing color - it is in a state of imbalance or disharmony in the body.
