Chakra colors and its significance

Chakra colors reflect different frequencies of light and energy associated with each energy center. By decorating your meditation room or corner, you can be inspired by the chakras colors.

Red chakra color: Red is the color of the root chakra, which is situated at the base of the spine and is chakra vibrating at the lowest frequency, i.e., the slowest of our seven chakras. Red chakra color symbolizes safety, survival, the physical body is linked to the earth.
Hot or cold, you can use the pad inside the waistband as a point heaters for stomach or back end or as soothing pressure over eyelids without being heated or cooled.

Orange is the color of the sacral chakra, located about three finger widths below the navel and have significant feelings, creativity, sexuality, flow linked to water.
A larger cylinder pillow / yogabolster 60 cm long and 20 cm in diameter. Use as a meditation cushion, for neck or knee. The muscles of the pelvis and spine relaxes easier when the knees are slightly bent with a cylinder cushion support, use when you are lying in bed or on the floor.
Located above the navel we find the Solar Plexus Chakra represented by the color yellow symbolizes mental activities, intellect and personal power.

Green is the color of the heart chakra and is connected with love, inclusion and compassion.
Soft meditation mat (zabuton)

The color of the throat chakra is blue and symbolizes self-expression, the expression of truth, creative expression and communication.
A bean-shaped meditation cushion suitable for the lotus and half-lotus position. The cushion indentation provides space for the heel, it also provides support for the upper thighs.

In between the eyebrows, we find the third eye, which has the color purple (or deep indigo blue) and awakens intuition and inner wisdom.


White is the color of the crown chakra, located at the top of the head and symbolizes the universal connection of spirituality, consciousness.


The colors are not necessarily a given, set point, but rather reflects the activity of energy centers and their frequency or vibration.

  • Although the warming scarf reduces stress and muscle tension, you should look over how you are sitting. Make sure you adjust your chair so your feet rest comfortably on the ground. If you have short legs, use a footstool. Review whether your screen is in your eye level.

Yoga belt

Yoga belt

Yoga belt or yoga strap in organic cotton.

The yoga belt allow you to receive the benefit of the yoga positions without overextending yourselves, thus experiencing greater ease and stability and more connection with your breathing. Use the strap for a better hand and foot connection. You can insert your arms or legs in a loop to hold them in position for support and to prevent them from slipping.

Yoga straps can be made from cotton or nylon.

Nylon are made from petrochemicals, these synthetics are non-biodegradable. The manufacture of nylon creates nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 310 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. This process is very energy intensive.

Cotton grows sometimes with herbicides pesticides, and it is also the chemical defoliants to aid mechanical cotton harvesting, which damages both the environment and human health. These chemicals typically remain in the fabric after finishing, and are released during the lifetime of the garments. Organic cotton is quite another matter which is the sustainable choice Nyttadesign uses. Buy Yoga belt in organic cotton
