How the Chakras Pair
In this tradition the chakras are often worked in pairs that mirror each other (1 and 7, 2 and 6, 3 and 5), with everything flowing through the heart (4).
First Chakra, Root, Red, security and basic needs
I am safe. I am peaceful. I am protected and secure. I am rooted and grounded to the Earth. I am enough, and I have enough. I can give without fear.
Second Chakra, Sacral, Orange, creativity and self-worth
I am full of creative potential. I am worthy and passionate. I can create the life I want to live. My senses are aware and connected. I embrace the pleasure of life fully.
Third Chakra, Solar Plexus, Yellow, power, confidence, and action
I can do anything I set my mind to. I express myself in a powerful way. I am proud of my achievements. I am free to choose my situations. I can let go of my negative thoughts. I am courageous.
Fourth Chakra, Heart, Green, love and gratitude
The heart acts as the filter between the lower three chakras and the upper three, joining emotion, logic, and intuition. I feel loved. I am loved. I am open to love. I delight in the success of others. I release all fears and follow my heart. I can let go of the past and forgive.
Fifth Chakra, Throat, Blue, communication and truth
I say what I mean. I mean what I say. I use my words to bless others. I release the habit of gossip. I am honest. I can express myself in a unique way. I speak up for myself when I need to.
Sixth Chakra, Third Eye, Indigo, intuition and vision
I listen to my intuition. I see clearly. I am guided by my inner vision. I embrace my inner knowing. I am open to spirituality. I can bring my ideas into reality.
Seventh Chakra, Crown, White Light, connection and transcendence
This is your connection to the divine. The idea here is that rest, recovery, and reflection are part of a full and happy life, and that to receive abundance you have to be open to it. I rise above limited beliefs. I am divinely guided and inspired. I am open to receive abundance.
