There’s a rainbow in every shower
Why just shower when you can take a chakra balancing healing color shower? To do this you don’t have to buy a special shower head – though you might choose to – you can use the power of your imagination to bath yourself in the powerful healing colors of the rainbow.
Taking a chakra balancing healing color shower will refresh and revive you by combining the healing of water with color therapy. You will emerge not only physically clean, but energetically cleansed as well.
Because our chakras are located in our energetic bodies, they respond beautifully to subtle energy techniques such as meditation and color therapy. By bringing mindfulness to your shower it becomes a mini-meditation.
I like to start at the Root chakra located at the base of the spine, which is associated with red. I visualize a vibrant candy-apple red color showering down over me, and I direct the spray toward that chakra. I visualize this chakra resonating with the color, becoming clear and balanced as I nurture it this way.
Tap into the healing powers of water
After about 2 minutes I move up to my Sacral Chakra, located about 2″ below my belly button, and visualize a vibrant orange color. Again, I visualize and intend that this chakra will be revitalized, and extend this healing to all parts of my physical body governed by this chakra.
Then I move up to my Solar Chakra, about 2″ above my belly button, and visualize a bright sunny yellow color flowing over me, soothing and reviving my solar chakra. I direct the spray onto that Power chakra and know it will nurture and balance it, allowing it to support the physical, mental and emotional bodies it governs.
Next up is my Heart Chakra, located in the center of my chest aligned with my heart. Here I have the choice of 2 colors, pink or green, whichever resonates with me that day. As I bathe in the healing colors I relax into the trust and knowing my heart is growing even more expansive; more loving, giving and forgiving.
Then I move up to my Throat Chakra. I visualize a beautiful blue spray empowering me to speak my truth with compassion and wisdom as it stimulates this chakra. I bask in this for another 2 minutes.
My Third-eye Chakra is next – here I visualize a deep beautiful indigo (mix of red and blue) color clearing and balancing this chakra, stimulating psychic abilities.
Finally I reach my Crown Chakra, where I can visualize white, gold, silver or lavender showering down over me, connecting me to my spirituality, reminding me I am connected to all that is, calling me to my bliss.
I invite you to give this a try – you’ll be relaxed, refreshed, revitalized, and the healing effects will linger long after you towel off!

Alexandria,
I just loved this post! I LOVE anything energy work and chakras, so drawn to it 🙂 I love using my imagination too to balance my own energy. It’s so fun and easy due to energy following intention. Of course, you know that, heehee! Thanks for sharing. Btw., I am a fellow Reiki person and aspire to teach yoga one day, so we’re kindred spirits 🙂
Hi Lisa – so happy you enjoyed it! Always nice to connect with a fellow (we need a feminine equivalent!) Reiki! I was surprised, when google images actually brought up shower attachments you can buy that do this – but like you, I prefer my own imagination. Follow that passion to teach yoga – the world needs all the teachers it can get! 🙂
Oooh! I LOVE this, Alexandria! I often do chakra cleansing showers in a general sense after doing Reiki work for example, but I’ve never tried to do the chakra shower just because! Thanks for the great idea 🙂 Can’t wait to invite the rainbow into the shower with me!!!! YAY!
Hi Eynie, you’ll love it! So energizing! And for a real treat – follow it up with a nice oil self-massage – I warm olive oil, add a few drops of lavender – smell and feel delicious! Your skin will thank you, and it calms the nerves system for hours!
What a fantastic way to start the morning! I would never have thought to visualize my Chakras like this. It was as if you enabled me to have an a-ha moment!
Forever grateful for this suggestion.
Be Well.
Paul.
Thanks Paul! I’m so happy this was meaningful for you! I do a lot of chakra work in my Wishful Thanking program, linking them to our seven primary life areas, so they can be worked on along with the Law of Attraction techniques. The more we do to strengthen, balance and align our chakras, the more health and success we have in all areas of our lives.

Oh my, that was lovely!! I’m going to add this to my regular healing practice. I already have chakra balancing stuff I do, but had not added color. Thanks!
Hi Jeanine – I find color therapy adds so much! After all, we are literally Living Light! When I’m working on a particular chakra I’ll wear that color (even underwear!) and fill a bowl of that colored fruit for the kitchen table – I incorporate it any way I can! 🙂
