Color 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. Realize 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 are instruments that can measure sounds that are far below and far above human hearing, and these frequencies are well documented, even commonly used in our daily reality. Harmonics, which are above human hearing, actually influence our hearing even though we are not aware of it. What distinguishes one person’s voice, musical instrument or pitch of a note, from another person’s are the harmonics. If it were not for harmonics, everyone’s voice and instrument would sound the same. As sound gets higher and higher in the scale of frequencies, it actually becomes light. As sound gets lower and lower in frequencies, it eventually enters the realm of matter. Light is the highest of frequencies perceivable by physical human senses. Humans can see light frequencies between red and violet, the rainbow colors. It is actually a very small portion of the true expanse of light frequencies.
The concept that a color holds a frequency that has vibrational impact on matter has been explored in metaphysics in a variety of ways. According to the Global Psychics Organization, “Each color corresponds to a vibrational frequency and the qualities associated with that frequency will tend to influence the activities conducted in that environment and the attitudes of those in it, and even around it.” (www.globalpsychics.com) Therefore, colors have physical impact on our emotions, psyches, and bodies. Every physical and non-physical entity in the universe is made of energy vibrating at various frequencies. Ted Andres, in his book How To Heal With Color (1992) explains, “All of the organs, tissues, and systems within our body are comprised of similarly vibrating atoms. If something irritating (such as an improper food substance) enters the body, it can result in altering the normal vibrational pattern of the body, or in this case the digestive system… We can use vibrational remedy to temporarily restore balance to that problem area.”
As with any healing suggestion by UMS, these are suggestions not prescriptions. These remedies include sound, aromatherapy, flower and gem essences, crystals, and colors. Colors are also important to rituals. For instance different colored candles, as well as gemstones, depict different meanings and can be used in ceremony to evoke emotions. Suggested tools of healing include visualizing the color, wearing the color, meditating on the color with candles, crystals, or visualizing the color filling the aura and chakras. The Auras and the seven Chakras (energy sites within and around the body) are one spiritual way colors impact us. Even though the aura is not usually visible, the human eye can be trained to perceive and understand the specific meanings of the light and colors of the aura and chakras (www.thiaoouba.com). Please refer to the UMS Chakras And Auras course for more information on the meaning of colors in the chakras and auras.
