green light is visualised as the essense of air.
red for fire, blue for water, yellow for earth and white for space.
[in tibetan buddhism]
the four elements accord to different part of your body.
earth stands for your physical senses.
fire for heat / psychic energy radiating from your manipura chakra.
water for the lower part of your body [eg sexual organs].
air [breathed in through the vishudva chakra] is related to the
whole body and is also refered to as the ‘white light’ as it is the
primal thing that keeps us alive. thats why a lot of yoga and meditation
practices involve controlling the breath as it is a powerful mean
to control one’s thoughts.
As dreamFIBRE already said, every major chakra has its own specific colour. You can strengthen the chakra colour by colour breathing for instance, during which you combine slow abdominal breathing with coloured chakra visualization. Strengthening every colour in the heart of each major chakra may result in an overall increase in well-being, whereby every colour/chakra corresponds to specific domains on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level of the human being. This is ofcourse possible because chakras themselves are vortices which transform vital chi energy.
to add to chakra development, I think anything one does (naturally) in life affects how these centers work and evolve. For example, things like concentration, mindfulness, practicing chakra use, correct actions, etc. must have subtle but definite effects, perhaps related to the petals. The only book I’ve read to explain this is Knowledge of the Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner There’s a reason I say naturally 
For example, when I feel totally depressed, in my heart and plexus I get cold spikes. On an emotional level it hurts terribly, and at the structural I don’t how much damage that does. Another example, fear. My whole body tingles and waves pass through. Besides the biological reaction, which is good for real danger, fear itself cannot be good structurally. Courage and strength of mind are again positive qualities with effects on the chakras.
I don’t know to what extent this is true yet. From logic and experience it sounds reasonable to me.
i agree… i think the physical body effects the subtle bodies (which the chakras are a part of) as well as the subtle bodies affecting the physical
they are so intertwined and dependent on one another that i don’t see how that couldn’t be the case.
Fire for psychic eh? Once when I was practising Chi meditation it suddenly changed from a ‘force’ to a feeling of fire(without pain or heat, so I guess you could call it a force still). Is there a ‘psychic’ Chakra?
the third eye chakra is the centre of your psychic energy.
all perception and thoughts arise here.
the throat chakra is an important centre aswell,
because as allready said its responsible for white light [breathing]
and thus also influences the psyche.
furthermore does also the root chakra influence the psyche
as thats where all knowledge is stored/arises.

Okay, finally we’re getting somewhere with the orbit. Yesterday for the first time chi moved through the sacral pump at the coccyx, pushing it up through the spinal cord with great power. What a wonderful feeling!
Got a question though for the other practitioners of this technique: the chi naturally flows along the acupuncture meridians. However when I practice, the chi movement never feels quite clear and restricted to the small meridians. It’s more like a diffuse warmth which tends to move around in a pretty wide path. Is this normal? Any idea how I can make the chi flow more distinct?
Hi, just wanted to say that if id try to describe it id say it just like that, so i guess its normal way to feel them. Its energy so why would it be restricted to only such small areas, as it also affects and is aura so isnt it natural to feel it all around you as it arises and moves.
You’re probably right. But I’ve read about advanced practitioners who can guide their chi very precisely along all the meridians. It doesn’t mean that there’s no chi between these meridians, only that the feeling is solely concentrated on the strict lines, because that’s where the main energy vessels, nadis, lie. Compare it with the big blood vessels. You may experience them, but in between there’s a whole network of tiny capillaries which also transport blood, though on a lower scale. And you probably won’t feel those.
The healing mechanisms of chi flowing doesn’t depend on how distinctive you perceive this flow. Hence I think it’s possible to develop your perception of chi until it’s less diffuse.
The chi flows everywhere or body parts would be paralised or at least numb or painfull depends on the sort of under or over flow of chi.
Probably more the case is that you are not yet aware of the more subtile meridians where chi flows through
You always start at a level where u feel general chi flow.
Recognision of subtal chi flow takes time/patience talent and practise.
It means Mystic that you are not yet done with general chi flow recognision 
and genral chakra activity and the connection of chi and chakras in general.
All takes practise and talent, for yogi and chi masters it takes decades to really master chi and awareness.
I can only add that when i look what i can experience now with chi and 20 years ago that that really is a big difference. Then i could only feel the general main chi stream, now i can tune into way smaller meridans or subtile meridians and are aware of subtile chi streams that were totally beyond my awareness in those days. So with experience and practising and talent also comes recognision. But it all cost time, time these days is more worth then gold it seems 
Accordingly to your talent and dedication and practising, chi is like a story in a book that tells it self. Every page you turn you get a better view over the whole picture. And will c and experience more then pages before.
I keep impressed by your experience and talent Jeff! Thx for the replies. So how long did it take before you noticed changes in your perception of the chi flow?
That took about 2 to 2 1/2 years Mystic.
The last 3 years it has gone faster like sometimes even in weeks.
But often in months.
Thanks So basically it’s a life long exercise, because you always get to experience more subtle levels of chi movement. Still a long way to go then 
Yes Mystic its a life long evolving and recognision
Talent, dedication, good info and patience all is important to reach a higher level. But from a certain level of talent and evolving chi will tell you its own tail, then its like a book you read from real practise and experience.
