LIFE POWER AND LIFE
ENERGY - RED
The root chakra at the bottom of the spine is governed by the red energy.
This power centre is closely connected with the earth. It governs all our
earthly life and is the outgoing, positive, "yes to life" attitude. It is
important that the root chakra be earth grounded. Fatigue, fear, and
anxiety are often caused by the missing contact with earth reality. All
goals that were never accomplished - the missing consequence from theory
to practice are caused by the lack of the red energy. The missing security
and trust in ourselves and our worth are often caused by not being loyal
and true to ourselves. To start self-aid and the understanding of the red
energy we should place our feet firmly on the ground, and look at
ourselves and others with love. The strongest red energy is the power of
reproduction, and this is probably the energy we know the best. The warm,
red sexual energy sets the root chakra spinning. The vibrations increase
as the energy moves up towards the heart chakra and the throat chakra,
finally to give us an experience of the yin-yang balance - the mutual
dependence and belonging in love of all things, actually satisfying both
the physical and mental. The red energy also is the power that provides
the creative energy on all levels. Everything that is to be commenced -
all pioneering work needs the life vitality of red.
PHYSICALLY
the root chakra energizes the feet, the legs, the tail bone, the vagina,
the urinary organs, and the adrenal glands.
MENTALLY
this energy gives power to the strong life qualities of courage,
self-confidence, security, positive love, and will-power.
RED
In using
red in baths as well as in clothes, red foods, or interiors it should be
remembered that what we are striving for is balance. This energy must not
be misused, and red energy is not enough to live on or for. This is the
energy you need to help the other chakras to function in accordance with
each other. Too much or too little of any colour is just as bad. The key
word is balance.
THE POSITIVE SIDES OF RED
Courageous - strong will
Spontaneous – honest
Grateful – forgiving
Humanistic - extrovert
AND THE NEGATIVE
Domineering – arrogant
SeIfpitying - self-indulging
quick-tempered – impolite
passionate - brutal

 |
you
feel tired and indisposed |
|
|
you

|
|

|
|
you
need courage and self-confidence |
|
|
you
are starting a cold |
|
|

|
|
YOU SHOULD NOT USE
RED WHEN: |
| |
you
are emotionally out of balance |
| |
you
are angry and excited |
| |
you
have infectious wounds |
| |
you
have a heart problem (take a pink bath instead) |
On
the whole you should be careful with the red bath - there is a strong
power in the red energy. Small children should not be bathed in red water.
However, difficult or restless children may benefit from a pink or rose
bath.
OTHER RED BATHS
If you
should want a different red colour you may add a little blue to your red
bath water and you will have a winecoloured bath. This gives a more
unselfish energy - a more devoted and helping energy. If you want a rose
bath, just take a little less of the red and you have a rose-coloured
bath, the energy of kindness and love. Children radiate this rose colour
from the moment they are born, almost into the age of puberty when it
changes into the red.
ESSENTIAL BATH OILS-Ylang
Ylang essential oil may lower hypertension, calm the heart and is
altogether relaxing. It is good in connection with fear. It is also
stimulating sexually. Add between 5-6 drops of Ylang-Ylang to your bath.
Another good aromatherapy bath is 4 drops of Sandalwood oil, 2 drops of
YlangYlang, and I drop of Rosewood.
The COLOUR ENERGY® Soap contains Ylang-Ylang oil.
AFFIRMATION
"Let the
red energy flow through my veins and provide me with new life and courage
to do everything I have to do."
RED TIPS
Red is a
good colour in playrooms as it increases excitement and physical activity
- but it also increases passion. Red in a place of work where risk
handling takes place is not advisable. Accidents may occur where red is in
the picture. Red should be used where activity should be increased, but
not where peace and concentration should prevail.
RED IN CLOTHES
With red
we show a vital and somewhat passionate image of independence. But the
person may often seem a little aggressive.
RED FOODS
If you
should want more red energy you may eat foods like beets, radishes, red
cabbage, watercress, spinach, meat, cayenne pepper, tomatoes,
strawberries, cherries, and all red-skinned fruits.
THE ASTROLOGICAL SIGN AND PLANET FOR
RED
The
astrological sign Aries is red, and the planet is Mars.
