Meaning of colors, chakras and their positions in the human body
Ayurvedic medicine describes the body as having seven main chakras, which are spiritual centers located along the spine that are associated with a color, function and organ or bodily system. According to this explanation, these colors can become imbalanced and result in physical diseases but these imbalances can be corrected through using the appropriate color as a treatment.
The colors and their associations are described as:
Color Chakra Chakra location Alleged function Associated system
Red: First Base of the spine: Grounding and Survival: gonads, kidneys, spine, sense of smell
Orange: Second Lower abdomen: genitals Emotions: sexuality Urinary tract, circulation, reproduction
