Yes, we’ll get to the First Red Root Chakra, but first, let’s talk about color.
The usual assumption in life is that when I say the word red as a descriptor, the person to whom I am speaking knows what red is. If we were both looking at the image above, we would both know. If you think about it, though, there are an awful lot of reds, no?
Do I mean: brick red, fire engine red, bing cherry red, million dollar red, red hair red, red going to maroon, or red going toward pink?
In terms of chakras, we have to think about color in terms of light, not pigment. Chakras are part of Energy Medicine; their colors have to have an energetic basis.
