- The colour red is sourced from the Base Chakra. From a physical perspective you can connect to your base by gently pumping your perineum, also known as the PC muscle.
- Although there is no “pair” of chakras at this point, The Base Chakra and the Crown Chakras are seen to be a pair.
- The Base Chakra is associated with foundations.
- Red brings focus to the physicality of life. A good example is the life-giving force of blood, which gets its red colour from the metal iron found in haemoglobin. The presence of haemoglobin allows oxygen to be absorbed through the lungs and transported to the cells of the body.
- This physiological process brings aliveness and energy into The Human Energy Field, which the physical most dense aspect.
- Wearing red, eating red foods and surrounding our environment with red increases the body's ability to absorb iron and other minerals, which in turn helps us to have a sense of well being.
- The colour red is symbolic of survival. Physical activity and the energy that supports it has a red vibration. For example, when expressing red emotions the heart beats faster, the capillaries dilate and the skin becomes flushed and feels warm.
- Red keeps us rooted in the vital energy of our planet.
- Without the foundation that red gives us, we tend to escape into the fantasy world of ideas and concepts with an inability to manifest in the material world.
- Lack of red causes us to become listless and out of touch with reality.
If you are drawn or repelled by red :
- Explore if there a lack of enthusiasm and interest in life, or an addiction
- Check out if there is lack of energy and physical depletion
- Feelings of insecurity, fear, anxiety or anger
