Spiritual, Healing Power of the Colour Red

Red is an intense, yet vibrant colour that promotes action, abundance, courage and feelings of passion but on the other side of the spectrum is associated with anger.

Remember if you become angry then the other person steals your energy, enough motivation to not get angry at any time, for sure! Like gold, it is often associated with opulence, leadership and love, be conscious when you are drawn to it and it can help you to understand your wants and desires, at the time. It is the colour of the Root Chakra, our foundation and grounding centre and when this is off balance it can affect our determination, fearlessness and cause overthinking.

Here are some ways to tap into the spiritual, healing power of the color red:

1. Visualization: Close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by a vibrant, red light. Visualize this light filling your entire body, promoting energy, strength, and vitality. See this light radiating from your root chakra, spreading throughout your body, and filling you with confidence and power.

2. Meditation: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Imagine a red light entering your body with each inhale, and any feelings of fatigue or weakness leaving your body with each exhale. As you meditate, allow yourself to let go of any energy blocks, and connect with the energizing, strengthening energy of red.

3. Chakra Balancing: Focus on each of your seven chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown), and imagine a red light cleansing and balancing each one. As you visualize this light, repeat affirmations such as “I am strong and capable” or “I trust in my ability to overcome any obstacle.”

4. Physical Exercise: Engage in physical exercise such as yoga, running, or weightlifting, and imagine the red energy surrounding you, promoting strength, energy, and vitality. Visualize this energy resonating with your root chakra, filling you with confidence and power.

5. Gemstone Healing: Work with red gemstones such as garnet, ruby, or red agate to amplify the spiritual, healing power of the color red. Hold the gemstone in your hand, and imagine its energy resonating with the red light, promoting energy, strength, and vitality.

6. Sound Healing: Listen to energizing, stimulating sounds such as drums or trumpets, and imagine these sounds filling your body with the energizing energy of red. You can also use sound healing tools like a singing bowl or tuning fork to amplify the energy of red.

7. Colour Therapy: Surround yourself with the color red in your daily life. Wear red clothes, use red bedding, or decorate your space with red flowers or paintings. This will help you connect with the spiritual, healing power of the color red on a daily basis.

8. Prayer and Intention: Set an intention to connect with the spiritual, healing power of the color red. Pray for energy, strength, and vitality, and imagine a red light responding to your intention, filling you with the desired outcome.

9. Yoga and Movement: Practice yoga or movement exercises that promote energy, strength, and vitality. Imagine a red light filling your body as you move, and visualize this light spreading throughout your entire being, promoting feelings of confidence and power.

10. Gratitude and Reflection: Take time to reflect on the things you’re grateful for in your life. Imagine a red light filling your heart, and visualize this light spreading throughout your entire being, promoting feelings of energy, strength, and vitality.

By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you can tap into the spiritual, healing power of the color red, and experience a deeper sense of energy, strength, and vitality.

As always, follow your heart and make your own judgements when selecting colours to wear and have around you. Every occasion, experience, day of the week, everything is affected by colour, as you are! How we feel, and react, about a colour is affected by so many factors that it makes each one unique to you. I always wore black, an imprinted societal pressure, yet it is such a dark, depressing colour. I try to avoid it now, which helps me to raise my mood, vibration and ability to help others evolve.
