Indigo is a great colour to see. Aura wise, it relates closest to the dark/deep purple I see that represents angelic protection. I interpret it to mean that the guides and angels around you are keeping you safe and keeping you attuned for their messages.

When focused on the chakras, indigo shows up in the third eye. Located between the eyes, this chakra relates to our ability to focus on the big picture. It deals with our intuition, imagination, wisdom and ability to think & make decisions.

The third eye chakra can be cleansed by eye exercises, purple coloured fruits (grapes), lavender flavoured spices or tea and (my personal favourite) chocolate. Essential oils that help heal the third-eye chakra are star anise, lavender, eucalyptus and rosemary.

Gem stones that work best to heal and stabilise the third eye chakra are Azurite (which helps awaken psychic abilities and provide insight. It helps the flow between chakras and helps connect us with our spirit guides) and Lapis Lazuli (which assists in past life recall and releasing karmic debts).

Blue is a gorgeous, comforting colour when it comes to auras. I see it in two shades – light and dark. Light blue is this beautiful positive masculine energy. I interpret it as being about nourishing your inner sense of childish play, going out and having physical fun. It’s indicative of a lot of love and good vibes. Dark blue immediately conjures up floating peacefully in water, all your cares and worries washing away. It’s a great indication of physical balance and harmony.

In the chakras, Blue relates to the Throat chakra. It shows our ability to communicate, and the areas of truth, communication and our self-expression of feelings. To help heal the chakra, singing and chanting are excellent exercises, as well as drinking juices & teas and all kinds of fruit. Frankincense is a wonderful essential oil to help with any problems with the throat chakra, and gemstones that work wonders are Blue Sapphire (which help to align our truth and bring it into the world); Blue Topaz (bringing the body, mind and spirit into union) and Sodalite (this is a stone of truth – it increases knowledge, learning and intelligence).

First of all, I make no apologies for this excellent “Dad” joke. In case you haven’t realised by now, I rather like having a bit of fun with my blog titles. That said, yellow is a wonderful colour across the chakra and aura world. It’s a great life colour – the yellow sun, Marigold flowers automatically get you thinking of warmth, life and brightness. Few colours are able to automatically generate such wonderful positivity, which I think is a beautiful thing.

Auras

When I see yellow in an aura, it’s generally an indicator of physical health. A bright, warm yellow (like the one above) shows that there’s good health, whereas ill health is shown as a mustard yellow, sickly and gaseous.

Chakras

Yellow is the colour of the Solar Plexus chakra. This chakra relates to our ability to be confident and in control in our lives. The feeling of nerves, of butterflies in your stomach? That’s your Solar Plexus chakra signalling that it’s not as aligned as it should be – you’re not feeling confident or in control. It also indicates issues of self-worth/self-esteem.

This chakra vibrates on the note E. It can be healed by breathing the negative energy out, dancing or eating healing foods – yellow coloured like corn and bananas, as well as grains and fibre – and healing teas (peppermint or chamomile help re-balance this area). Some great essential oils for this chakra are carnation, lemon, gold and chamomile, and if gem stones are of interest to you, then the best ones to help move stagnant energy are amber, citrine, gold and Tiger’s Eye.

Amber: opens the chakra for clarity, balances mood and helps with confidence. It acts to purify, to enhance patience, draw negative energy from the body and purify the spirit.

Citrine: This builds willpower, confidence, clear thinking and happiness.

Gold: This helps regain personal power and strengthen as well as amplifying the body’s energy.

Tiger’s Eye: ROAR! This is great for courage, confidence and protection. It assists in deepening the perception and clarity of self.

Orange is another colour with significance for both auras and chakras.

Aura

When orange shows up in an aura, I read it as signifying focus and determination – which is why it can easily be paired with red (passion), silver (angelic communication) or purple (angelic guidance). It’s about being locked in and in The Zone – being guided by yourself or your angels.

Chakra

Orange relates to the sacral chakra – it governs the connection with others and new experiences. It’s located in the lower abdomen – near the bellybutton – and governs the reproductive system, testes and ovaries as well as the bladder and kidneys. Emotionally, it’s tied to our feelings of abundance and well-being, how we experience pleasure and our sexuality.

In healing and balancing the sacral chakra, there are different options: sound (where the key of D is used); food that is orange (oranges, tangerines, carrots) and any kind of nuts will help realign the chakra. Exercises such as pelvic thrusts can also help clear a chakra blockage, as can dancing – get moving! 🙂
