Once awakened it will rise through the spine to the crown of the head and may trigger enlightenment in the practitioner of these methods. For our purposes, imagine the root centre as your grounding or primary energy source. This is the centre we can turn to if we need physical strength. The colour for this centre is red. If this was the colour you chose then you're probably at a low ebb at the moment and you need to raise your energy levels.
Athletes often have red auras as it's the colour of physical fitness.
So if you feel a lack of this colour, then a little exercise may be just the energiser you need. The red base centre shines with a brilliant red light infusing the whole body with strength and stamina. In particular those of you who enjoy sporting activities or about to expend a lot of physical or sexual energy may draw upon the red light of this spiritual centre and your performance may be enhanced. Once you've felt the benefit allow the centre to quieten down and close. The second centre is found just below the navel and is called the Sacral Centre.
