The Role of Colours in Our Daily Life - Part I

Colour plays a major role in our daily life.

The splendid symphony of colours, which we see manifested on all sides of the Universe, is the visible expression of the divine mind.

The ancient Egyptian priests and priestesses were conscious of this power and its influence on all living things. Keeping this in mind, they built temples and wisdom schools such as Thebes and Karnak with specific colours in certain rooms whereby the effects of colour vibrations were studied and used in esoteric healings and occult sciences.

The ancient Egyptians, keepers and inheritors of the ancient wisdom of the vanished Epoch left manuscripts showing the system of colour healing and colour science.

The Sun is known as the radiant white light capable of being resolved into seven main constituent parts of colour wavelengths (VIBGYOR).

The White light (the spiritual Sun from the esoteric angle) enters the Consciousness of the Soul through the aura and it is diffused into the seven component colours, each one in turn infusing the appropriate chakra or the soul center with the power and vitality.

Colour	Representing Chakra
Violet	Crown Chakra or Sahasarara Chakra
Indigo	Brow Chakra or Ajna Chakra
Blue	Throat Chakra or Vishuddha Chakra
Green	Heart Chakra or Anahata Chakra
Yellow	Solar Plexus or Manipura Chakra
Orange	Sacral Chakra or Swadhishthana Chakra
Red	Root Chakra or Mooladhara Chakra

Good health and strong aura is one of the benefits due to the meditation of Colour breathing and Colour healing.

Colour breathing with mental concentration on the beneficent rays contained in the Universal Spectrum is the powerful tool for good health. It helps in extending the consciousness and sensitizing the soul faculties. One who practices this technique will always be peaceful and strong in mind, body, and soul.
