Rainbow Theory & Chakras

[swetha]

As already discussed each Chakra is associated with a colour. Each chakra and colour is also associated with a particular  personality type.

All the attributes are totally different, and the chakras as described here represent major organs of the external personality, whereas in Indian and Tibetan tantra the chakras represent subtle faculties that are only activated in advanced yogic practice, or the subtle inner being.
It would seem plausible to identify the rainbow chakras with the etheric body chakras.
