The usual assumption in life is that when I say the word rose as a descriptor, the person to whom I am speaking knows what what rose 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 roses, no?
Do I mean: rose as in pink roses? Sunrise rose? Bubblegum? Rose going toward violet? Or rose going toward red? It’s a lot to think about!
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.
