The Chakras, to keep it simple, are energy points along the spine. They, not surprisingly, correspond to the colors of the rainbow (different colors of visible light). From bottom to top, 1 to 7, ROYGBIV… Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Each color corresponds to a chakra, and each chakra controls and identifies with a different energy, organs and manifestations.
