The Spiritual Guide to the Meaning of Colours

By Sheri-Therese Bartle

Life = Light = Colour! Colour is energy in the form of light. This includes direct and reflected light. Colour is a vibration or frequency of light. Colour surrounds us. We use colour to represent specific meanings and emotions. The colours we choose to wear or place in our homes affect our moods and the messages we send to the world. Colour has been used throughout the centuries to represent holidays, status and self expression. Colours have physical impact on our emotions, psyches and bodies.
Colour affects humans in many ways. Everyone is familiar with which colours are soothing, stimulating or nauseating. Cool colours and hot colours are another way people are likely to describe colours. Cool colours would be shades of blues and greens, or pastel shades, whereas hot colours would be shades of reds and oranges, or neon colours. This eBook gives you knowledge as to which colours produce certain kinds of effects and can be useful information in healing or regenerating processes and can be used effectively in meditations and visualisation techniques.

Introduction

Colour is energy in the form of light. This includes direct and reflected light. Colour is a vibration, or frequency of light. This is made up of particles, which are also waves, according to physics. Colour is directly emitted by matter and it is also reflected by matter. Matter is not a solid as it seems and is actually very spacious and luminous. All of life on Earth is dependent on light and all light contains colours. Even the air we breathe is made of colours and light.

Colour surrounds us. We use colour to represent specific meanings and emotions. The colours we choose to wear or place in our homes affect our moods and the messages we send to the world. Colour has been used throughout the centuries to represent holidays, status and self expression. They are used for medicinal purposes and to create meaning in rituals.

The Science of Colour

Sir Isaac Newton was the first recorded scientist to observe the colour spectrum. He did so by using a prism to split sunlight into different colours. This spectrum consists of the seven basic observable colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. A rainbow displays this same array of colours because raindrops also split light into the spectrum of observable colours, just like the prism. It is now known that the colour spectrum extends past red and violet into colours that the human eye does not register. The colour spectrum is part of a larger spectrum called the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EM) and consists of energy flowing at a variety of velocities and lengths, according to NASA’s article, Electromagnet Spectrum. The longer the wave, the slower the velocity of energy. Radio waves are at the longest, slowest end of the spectrum. Microwaves come next and then infrared. Next comes the visible light, flowing from about 700 nanometres to about 400 nanometres and consists of Newton’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. At the other end of the visible spectrum and beyond is ultraviolet, then gamma rays and x-rays flowing at the highest velocity which can cause harmful radiation. The human eye actually perceives only three colours, red, yellow and blue. All the infinite colours that are seen are simply a combination of these three colours. White light actually contains all colours, including those that are above and below the human ability to physically see.

Colour is Visual Energy

Light, sound and matter are all the same substance, but each is a different portion of the frequencies, perceived with different physical senses because they are far apart on the spectrum. First, let’s look at matter. Realise that the heaviest manifestations of matter are nowhere to be found on the Earth. In fact, the heaviest types of matter, the most condensed matter, with very little space between the particles of the atoms, can only be found in dense stars, the heaviest being found in black holes where matter is so heavy that light cannot even escape its gravitational force. This clues us in to the fact that only a small range of the large range of matter-types is found on the Earth. Our physical senses cannot even perceive some of the denser matters that can be found in the cosmos because we could not even be alive in a physical body if we were anywhere near these dense types of matter.

Human hearing can only perceive the ranges between 20 hertz and 20,000 hertz. This is a small portion of all the possible frequencies existing in the universe. There
