TOO MUCH RED
Too much red and we tend to lose our temper quickly, become agitated, angry, overbearing, demanding, un-nerving, oppressive or even violent. May also be greedy, egotistical, domineering, bossy, addicted to wealth, high strung, hyperactive, addicted to self, dishonest, cunning.
The compliment of Red is Green, so if you need to tone down you are raging passions, have a problem with temper or anger, or have trouble getting a hold of your emotions, add green to your surroundings.
NOT ENOUGH RED
Too little red and we become fearful, lethargic, cautious, whiny and manipulative. We can't reach our goals, lack self-confidence, feel unloved, not grounded suicidal, weak willed, feel sexually inadequate, frustrated, alienated, separate, overly cautious, power conscious, possessive, needing outside approval, craving excitement. If your tired or feel exhausted, introduce more red into your world.
Energy levels are instantly heightened.
WEAR RED JEWELRY:
When you have a job that must get done, when you need a lot of energy, when you need or want to feel confident and in control, and when you want to feel sexy and desirable.
The most effective way to add the power of red or correct a balance in the 1st Chakra is thru adding natural red crystals and gemstones to your everyday wardrobe, so they are close to you for several hours at a time and touching your skin, (the pulse points: ears, wrists, ankles, and neckline) and thus effecting your aura and Root Chakra.
This is much more effective than carrying stones in your purse or pocket, or placing them in your environment. For direct healing, the jewelry can be placed on the Root Chakra itself.
