The most effective way to add the power of yellow or correct a balance in the 3rd Chakra is thru adding natural yellow 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 Solar Plexus Chakra. This is much more effective than carrying stones in your purse or pocket, or placing them in your environment. For direct healing, the jewellery can be placed on the Solar Plexus Chakra itself.

color pink

Pink is the color of peace.

People who love the color pink usually are either in a blissful state or looking for one. They want to draw the little smiley faces on everything. The perpetual smile on pink personality faces can grow thin when you are not in the same blissful state they are.

Truly loving everyone, they try to see the best in others. If they don't find something good in a person, there has to be a very good explanation in the pink personalities mind as to why not.


 Those who have this personality quietly study the best way to approach problems and then act on their thoughts. Because they tend to research ideas this way, they may be seen as slow but they are anything but slow.

Pinks are youthful looking and usually have translucent skin.  They see the world through rose colored glasses.  The truth of the matter is that it might be nice if we could all put those glasses on now and then.

They are shy, very intelligent, hardworking people who wish they were more a part of the mainstream but are frightened of moving too quickly.


Pink personalities watch what they do or say because they are afraid that others may see them in a harsh light. They try to make everyone happy.

Others notice their wonderful senses of humor, though the pink personality may not laugh aloud. Some may even say they have a dry sense of humor.
Pink symbolizes: Love, Beauty, Kindness, Compassion

Pink is the color of universal love and compassion.

Emotional love of self and others. Brings you in contact with your feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.

Heals grief and sadness. Smoothes difficulties in both romantic and family relationships and assists with self-esteem and self-love.


Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies.

Wear pink when you are around people you care about and that care about you, or if you want to smooth over or encourage the one to one relationship, whether it be friendship or romantic love.

Pink suggests softness, sweetness, innocence, youthfulness, tenderness, romance, nurturing, friendship, femininity, soft and kind people. A pink carnation means "I will never forget you.”

Both red and pink denote love but while red is hot passion, pink is romantic and charming. Use pink to convey playfulness (hot pink flamingoes) and tenderness (pastel pinks). Multiple shades of pink and light purple or other pastels used together maintain the soft, delicate, and playful nature of pink. Add strength with darker shades of pinks and purple and burgundy.


Pale pink : sweetness of youth, fragility. Vibrant pinks : high spirits, energy, youth

Using Pink with Other Colors:
All shades of pink get sophisticated when combined with black or gray or medium to darker shades of blue. Use light pink with other pastel shades for a cheerful, spring like feel. Pink and purple has feminine appeal. Medium to dark green with pink is also a sharp-looking combo.
Pink Gemstones:
Kunzite, Pink Optical Calcite, Leopard Skin Jasper, Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Rhodonite, Pink Sapphire, Pink Tourmaline.
