The 7 chakra colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet/white) and their mantras (Lam, Vam, Ram, Yam, Ham, Om, Aum) are listed for each chakra above.
This gave rise to the seven-chakra system most commonly recognized today. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the chakra system was introduced to the West, where it was reinterpreted through Theosophy, yoga, and modern wellness movements.
