Wear Colored Clothing to Balance Your Chakras

What are chakras?

Chakras are different energy points in our bodies that are thought to be spinning disks of energy which should stay “open” and “aligned”. They correspond to nerves and major organs which affect our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. The goal is to keep your chakras open, balanced, and aligned. 

Common Ways to Keep your Chakras Balanced

Meditation, yoga, breathwork, visualization, colors, sound, food, reiki, the use of crystals, and essential oils are common ways to keep your chakras open, balanced, and aligned.

Now, I am not an expert on chakras, however, I would like to talk about the use of colored clothing and accessories and our chakras. Each of the seven chakras corresponds to a color. 

Jolene Hart, beauty and wellness expert and health coach, mentions in her book Ignite Your Light, “Just by bringing energy and consciousness to a specific chakra, you begin to support your health in that area.” She adds, “Because each chakra is associated with a color, finding the chakra or chakras that could use extra attention could inspire you to bring a certain color into your life through food, clothing, or other objects (66).

Chakra Colors & Clothes

As a stylist, I want to encourage you to wear one of the colors above if you feel like your chakra may be off. Or, next time you gravitate to a certain color above, ask yourself if you are feeling a certain way that matches a chakra color!
