Crown - Purple/Violet/White
Depression: "The Violet channel is connected to the Pineal Gland which produces the serotonin derivative melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone that makes us feel sleepy and regulates our sleep patterns. Depressed people often feel sleepy during normal wake times, thus unmotivated to act and crawl out of depression. Essentially they are producing too much melatonin, they are feeding the Violet channel/chakra too much negative energy, thus producing too much melatonin. Melatonin is used to treat seasonal mood disorders such as depression. By feeding the Violet Channel positive energy one will theoretically decrease the production of melatonin, feel more energetic/less depressed and regulate their sleep patterns."

Grief: "The 7th chakra is the “crown” chakra; it is where we receive universal energy. Death can have a profound effect on our spirituality. Many feel that the death of a loved one is an indication that God doesn’t care. The key to this chakra is prayer and meditation. It is within the 7th chakra that we are able to live grace-filled lives. We walk through difficult chapters, not by denying the sadness or pain, but in spite of it. It is not so much that the 7th chakra energy is damaged by grief, but rather that, in the face of grief, we become acutely aware of meaning and purpose in life and the superficial relationship we may have with our faith. Many struggle with God and their spirituality after a loss, and those emotions should be processed, not shunned. However, for many who face extreme grief, if they can experience each associated emotion in a mindful manner, they will find that their grief transforms them and that they have a greater understanding of their life’s purpose. Their post-grief relationship with the divine becomes more authentic after processing the emotions. They are able to find meaning and greater compassion through their suffering and can actually express gratitude for the experience."

Grief: The 6th chakra is the 3rd eye. It is the chakra of “intuition.” It is with the 3rd eye that one can begin to experience a sense of peace even if their grieving is not complete. The 6th chakra is the center of wisdom, the place where knowledge and experience accumulate. Wisdom is not emotional. Emotions related to experience are processed in lower chakras. It is within the 6th chakra where we can tune the intuitive skills required to process messages and signs from the deceased. But in order to do so, we must first examine our belief systems and, at times, challenge some of our existing beliefs, or at least be willing to expand our understanding beyond our personal experiences. This does not mean to discard existing beliefs, rather it requires self-examination and recognition of old habits and fear-based thought systems that are no longer serving you. This type of introspection does not require the bereaved to convert to an eastern religion or to change their diet. It merely requires an honest assessment of what one believes and why."

Throat - Blue -
x
Grief: "The 5th chakra is the “throat” or “communication” chakra and is the chakra of self-expression. After a loss, the 5th chakra’s energy can be compromised by not expressing our feelings and desires. The grieving often don’t know what their personal truth is and expect others to anticipate their mood and desires. Expressing gratitude for the departed and others in our lives removes us from the trap of becoming a victim of our loss. Reacting to the loss in terms of being a victim does not come from a place of truth, and while it may garner sympathy or attention, it will not foster healing. Gratitude does not mean you are glad the person is dead, but rather that you are grateful for the person’s influence on your life and for the opportunities for growth and grace presented by their loss. The wellness of the 5th chakra can be measured by the honesty of a person’s verbal, written, and emotional expressions. Each expression is an affirmation and either an opportunity to commit to change or to stay stuck in grief. This does not mean that the bereaved should not express sadness. Sadness is a real and appropriate emotion in the face of loss. Holding on to our sadness, being strong for appearance sake or, as I like to call it, “the Jackie Kennedy syndrome,” is not truthful and, therefore, does not support the health of the 5th chakra. Sometimes the bereaved do not even check to see how they feel, they just react like they did the day before. Healing is subtle; it is important for the bereaved to check and express their progress no matter how small.In the words of noted author and spiritual teacher, Iyanla Vanzant: “When you stand and share your story in an empowering way your story will heal you and your story will heal someone else.”

Heart - Green - Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Grief
Fear: "Many people develop physical conditions related to the heart and chest areas, the heart chakra, which is linked with lack of love. Fear and one's inability to affect needed change, are generally the cause of heart attacks, breast cancer, bronchial problems, all things related to the emotional heart and its inability to feel loved."

Grief: "The 4th chakra is the “heart” or “love” chakra. The 4th chakra’s energy can become blocked by anger and resentments. Unless these emotions are processed honestly, the result is bitterness and an inability to experience or give love. The key to opening one’s 4th chakra is forgiveness. Forgiveness is different than pardoning someone, overlooking something, or repenting. It is a change of heart that sets the stage for healing. Grief is caused by love and is healed by love. However, in order to experience love, the bereaved must be able to separate their pain associated with their love of the deceased from their more basic survival fears and emotions."

Solar Plexus - Yellow - Anger, Panic
Anger: "The Solar Plexus Chakra often deals with raw emotions, like anger, frustration, and intuition or gut feelings. Being extremely sensitive, particularly to the emotions of others any blockages here can easily create uncontrolled emotions, tenseness, hostility, rage and severe stomach problems. Located between the sternum bone and the belly, it governs the will, the mind, emotions, stomach, and upper digestive tract, assimilation of nutrients, psychic experiences, rational left brain) thoughts, ego, vital energies, control, accomplishments, and the freedom to be yourself. Organization is important to this chakra that likes everything orderly and disciplined. It is the center of self esteem, power, directed will and it radiates expansiveness, warmth & joy. It quickly takes issue when feeling threatened and this can cause an even greater bridge to have to span when treating problems."

Panic: "Insecurity and panic attacks are caused by a blocked or non functioning power chakra. Someone who is having a panic attack, usually cannot take a full, deep breath. It feels like there is a tight band, like a corset around the bottom of the ribs. This is tension of a closed power chakra.
Feed the power chakra by breathing. Deep slow belly breaths that go right into the Earth and make you more firmly centered in yourself. Most people do not breathe properly, the breath is shallow, only the top of the chest moves. The most efficient alveioli are in the bottom of the lungs, and shallow chest breathing means the air in the bottom of the lungs gets stale. Cheast breathing means not getting enough oxygen and prana... no wonder you feel tired, cranky or weak!"

Grief: "The 3rd chakra is the “self” or “solar plexus” chakra. It is the chakra where each of us defines our core self. Many of us define ourselves in terms of our relationships. This means we are not just mourning the loss of a person, we are also mourning our lost role in our relationship with the deceased. The words mother, father, child, husband, and wife are each associated with powerful archetypes. Contrast that to a word like “widow.” While it is natural in the very early stages of loss to define one’s self in terms of the loss, if it is clung onto for too long, the bereaved’s sense of self can become one of a useless victim or a failure. After a loss, it is important to take inventory with respect to one’s purpose and goals. This may be as simple as remembering what one likes to eat or watch on TV."

Sacral - Orange -
Depression: "The Orange channel is connected to the Gonad Gland which is responsible in part for helping produce the hormones that regulate emotion and energy; testosterone and estrogen etc.. A depressed person naturally is in the low spectrum of mood and has a difficult time climbing out of depression. By feeding the orange channel positive energy, one can learn to produce the hormones necessary for us to climb out of the depressed mood spectrum and into the high end, happy mood spectrum."

Grief: "The 2nd chakra is the “sacral” or “partnership” chakra. This is the chakra where we process our relationships. Death represents a change in a relationship, not the end of a relationship. It is through the energy of the 2nd chakra that grief can become an unhealthy bond to the deceased. Since blame and guilt are housed in this chakra, it is very important for the bereaved to process the emotions related to their relationship with the deceased and redefine their relationship. When someone dies, there is generally unfinished business between the bereaved and the deceased that requires healing. Whether healing takes place via prayer, journaling, or by consulting a medium depends on the individual, but it is essential that the relationship with the deceased be clarified and redefined early in the grief process."

Root - Red -Depression and Anxiety
Depression: "The Red channel is connected to the Adrenal Gland which is responsible for producing adrenaline. As you know, people who are depressed lack adrenaline, motivation. If we can find ways to tap into the Red channel and thus the adrenal gland, you can learn to create the adrenaline necessary to produce the motivation needed to combat depression."

Grief: "The 1st chakra is the “root” or “tribal” chakra. It houses our survival instinct. The death of someone we love is a major disruption to our family unit or tribe and literally threatens our survival. Historically, death and funeral rites or rituals would provide comfort to the bereaved, however, cultural changes have eroded many of these traditional sources of support, leaving us very vulnerable in times of loss. The energy of the 1st chakra can be strengthened through a renewal of traditions and exploration of our ancestors. This could mean reflecting on family traditions or religious beliefs, even if they are no longer a part of your belief system. Also, recognizing death as a universal experience is a powerful tool in shoring up the 1st chakra and making the grief experience less isolating."
