echo-nayeli:

Anyone typically familiar with chakras have probably heard something along the lines of “your first chakra is typically red, but it can also be yellow, orange, or black.”

Despite popular belief chakras can actually be seen as any color. It might be true that any given chakra may typically be a certain color but mostly this belief system of specific chakra colors stems from personal experience being projected onto others. In other words it’s programming.

An Example

If we were in a room and let’s say there are ten people in that room. All ten are looking at the same person’s first chakra. Three of the people might see it as green, two see yellow, one sees black, and the last four sees it as red.

Who is right?

They all are.

To continue the example let’s say the green represents a mother energy, the yellow is that person’s own energy, the black is a death picture, and the red is a father energy. So in this example each of the ten people are honing in on a particular energy in that person’s first chakra. Even the people who saw the same color might see a different aspect to that energy. I like to think of it as we are all trying to solve a puzzle. Each person’s input is a puzzle piece. It can be very interesting information by itself but when added with the rest of the pieces, it forms a much bigger picture.

There are many nuances of energy. Chakras are no different. They can contain layers of energy that each mean something different.

So if you have read before that the first chakra is red (or about any chakra for that matter) but you personally see your first chakra as purple don’t fret. What you see is valid.

We all have our own information. When working with energy there is no right or wrong answer (or question!). There is only perspective.

Trust your information. Bathe in the light of your eternal knowledge and don’t let anyone take that away from you. You already have all the answers you need, just look within and you will find them.
