Does it ever happen to you that you are tired or sluggish and just don’t have to function?
This could very well be a base chakra issue and you might find relief through chakra balancing.
How would you know if your base chakra, located at the base of your spine, is the energy center in need of balance?

You lie down on a massage table fully clothed. You are only asked to remove shoes, belts or big jewelries. A soft, relaxing music is playing in the background. Michal will gently rest her hands upon you, non-intrusively, in a series of positions corresponding to the body main energy centers called Chakras. Each hand position is held for a few minutes, sometimes longer, and during this time energy will flow into you, drawn according to your needs, helping to balance your energy system.
This week on my Stress-Reduction Phone Seminar we had an interesting conversation about Chakras and colors. It will benefit you the most if you take the 45 minutes, sit in a quiet room by yourself and devote yourself to the experience. The call starts with a meditation and end with a meditation and the discussion is in the middle.
Green is associated with the 4th energy center – The Heart Chakra. Use green when you deal with relationships, love, communicating your emotions, needing to have space and searching your truth.
Since green is the complementary color of red, consider using green when your Base Chakra is overactive which means that you are too excited and can not calm down, when you are angry, aggressive, hyper or you have high blood pressure. In all those cases, using green will help you to balance your Base Chakra.

- Red is at the top of the rainbow. It has the longest wavelength and it carries the least amount of energy.
- Red is associated not only with energy, but also with grounding, survival and passion.
- Too much red can lead to aggression, violence, hyperactivity.
- Red is connected to the first energy center – The Base Chakra.
- Stimulate your Base Chakra with red when you experience one of the following symptoms: when you can’t “get off the ground”, when you’re always tired, experience lack of energy and lack of enthusiasm.
Add Blue!
Blue is the complementary color of orange. Blue is associated with the Throat chakra. If your solar plexus Chakra is overactive (too excited, can’t calm down, hyper, addicted to sex) balance it with Blue. Blue is calming and relaxing. Blue is also very helpful with communication and trust.
What is your relationship with Blue?
Orange is a combination of red (passion, energy) and yellow (uplifting, fun) so it is uplifting, cheerful and stimulating. It stimulates the emotions, sexuality and creativity, as well as a “zest” for life.Orange is the colors of the second Chakra – the Sacral Chakra. Yesterday in my Tuesday’s Affirmation blog I discussed ways to step into your power. Orange will be the perfect color to use/wear when you need to connect to your inner power. If you don’t like to wear orange – get Orange socks, underwear, watch or accessories. In tomorrow’s blog, you will learn what to do when there is too much Orange in your life.
How do you feel about adding Orange to your life?
Healing through colors is very profound. It works both ways: you can look at a specific chakra which needs some balance and chose to eat food with that specific color or you can identify a specific color that is missing from your daily menu, and ask yourself what’s going on with the corresponding chakra. The one color which is hard to find is blue. Any ideas for a blue natural (not processed) food?

It was twelve years ago, while living in Germany, that I got the call: my good friend Malkie had had a heart attack. I was in shock. I had just seen her two days earlier and there was no indication that something was wrong.
Interestingly, I recalled noticing a few weeks before her heart attack that Malkie had become obsessed with green accessories, adding green scarves and jewelry to her otherwise black attire. She wore black because she claimed it was more comfortable and made her appear thinner.
That may seem like a strange observation on my part, but I’m always surprised when people wear only black because I love colors and use them often.
What struck me most is that the Heart Chakra is associated with the color green. In fact, each Chakra (which means “wheel of light” in Sanskrit and refer to our bodies’ energy centers) is associated with a different color, i.e., the energy center and the color vibrate in the same frequency. This is why colors have so much power, and we respond to different colors in different ways.
Many people know that colors affect their moods, reflect their emotions and can even change their behaviors. So how can we use the power of colors to balance our energy? By using as many colors as we can in our daily lives!
When people come to see me for healing I always ask them about their color preferences. Properly utilizing these colors helps us balance their energy. For example: they communicate more easily when using blue (Throat Chakra) and feel more grounded and energized when using red (Base Chakra).
Here are a few simple ways in which you can stimulate and balance your energy centers with a rainbow of colors.

Why is that?
Because – colors are a living energy.
Colors alwaysfascinate me. It happens so many times that the color that you dislike the most is the color that you need the most. If you challenge yourself and use color that you don’t usually like – wear it, eat it, buy an accessory – you will be surprised of how can it change your mood, your attitude, your behavior.
Kerry Ross from Atlanta is participating a few times already, in my teleseminar: “You Must be Present to Win”. We look at Chakras and colors and she reports that her perception of color tremendously changed and that it brought so much healing to her life:
“Admittedly, I look “good” in black and gray. I have never understood peoples’ opposition to it. It never depressed me or made me feel isolated. I liked that it had formality and seriousness. As we all know, it is easy to match it etc… In fact, I was often adverse to most colors because it is one more thing I had to try to “match” or orchestrate around. My house has white walls in general because I have to decorate around a color. If I use a color in the room, I feel committed to it and bound to have to work with it. The last thing I need is more limitations. It was almost as if color was a “commitment” or “limitation” to me. I did not see it as freeing.
Odd that I felt that color created limits and problems for me. It has been difficult to step out of that sensation. You can ask my relatives. I just like things simple and uniform. I prefer the classic style and fine neat points. Somehow, I have come around. I guess it is from using color in my meditation. Rather than just using voice and the “tranquility and stillness” like effect, I have applied color in my meditation. Color has a sense of creating a space and opening a place for thought for me now. It is like I see a color and try to place it with a chakra. Then I think, “Do I need to open that Chakra now or does it need some balance with its complementary?” Two weeks ago, my husband and I actually painted my front foyer a sky blue and we are loving it. It makes me smile and reminds me about using communication and my voice. It is very positive.
