COLORS
Vedic Tantra texts state that the use of colors in Tantric
rituals is of utmost importance. For this reason, all rituals should
contain enough light to easily see colors and their definitions.
Colors in your environment affect your chemical balance,
causing some pretty strong physical phenomenon. Reds and
oranges for instance affect your sense of time and such a waiting
room at the doctors or dentists can make your wait seem
interminable. A blue or green waiting room will do the opposite.
Reds and oranges affect the adrenal system, pushing
increased energy into your system. In a cascade effect, other
related systems may be activated such as the immune system,
vascular pulmonary, or sexual systems.
Greens and blues soothe and allow the time sense to be
accelerated so that time seems to go faster and a wait appears
shorter than with a red surrounding. Blues and greens trigger the
endocrine system and a set of neurotransmitters are produced
which calm and inspire a slower gentler spirituality than red.
To test for color sensitivity, get a set of color panels from
the craft store - the more colors, the better. Get 3 panels of each
color and set up a single color in a "U" shape. Be sure it is well
lighted, even brightly lit. Look steadily into the "U" of color for at
least 32 minutes each session. A single color test should run for at
least one week. Color session for 32 minutes in the morning and
again in the evening, 12 hours apart if possible. Keep notes on how
you feel immediately after each session and the general emotional
functioning of the day. How do you sleep? What are your
dreams? How do you feel about sex? Your job? Friends, enemies,
religions, studies, etc.?
Move through each color one at a time, one week at a time
until you have done all the primary colors (or all the color panels
you have). If you are uncertain of results, repeat until you clearly
understand how colors affect you.
After you understand how colors affect you at this level,
gather colors about you for specific results. Make your life as you
want it to be.
Now, add colors to all your Tantric rituals and see how the
rituals (and you) are changed. The ritual for hearing the Kundalini
for instance will produce different "voices" of the Kundalini when
different colors strongly make their influence through your
external senses. Be careful to keep all other aspects of the ritual the
same and only vary color. This, I know is impossible, but you
cannot be certain of the color effect otherwise so make the attempt.
According to Albert Einstein, different colors represent
differing energies of the field of relativity. Colors are a universal
language and each human relates quickly to each other through use
of colors. Colors reach a direct response from our brain circuits,
not only the lower circuits but very strongly from the higher brain
circuits also. Compilations of names indicate there are more than
7,500 names of colors and scientists have shown that the human
eye can discern as many as 15,000,000 different colors.
The Tree of Life states (similar to Dr. Einstein) that colors
represent differing energies of the field of Akasha. The field of
Akasha or the Akashic Record is said to represent the total
knowledge of the Cosmos and can be brought into awareness
through higher brain circuit activity. The colors will be listed
below according to their refraction from white light into the
various main Chakras of the trunk of the body. We'll begin with
the lower Chakras and move upward through the Chakras to the
top of the head.
Red is the color associated with Muladhara, the root
Chakra located at the base of the spine and using the perineum and
genitals as the area of the body the energy is associated with. The
Tibetan Tantric word "Lam" is associated with this Chakra, the
color red, and fire. To use the combination of touch, speech,
Chakra, and color, set up something bright red such as a rose, a
mandala, or panel of red color. Focus on the red color, place hands
on the area the Chakra surfaces in (be sure to include the
perineum), chant "Lam" (pronounced Lum), and draw energy into
the area from the body, then from the earth, and finally from the
Cosmos.
Red, associated with the Muladhara Chakra promotes the
sensations of touch, sex, passion, activity, energy, heat, excitement,
reduces fear, and promotes the chemistry change associated with
puberty. Red when used in conjunction with the Muladhara
Chakra in Meridian work will promote cheerfulness, enthusiasm,
improve will power, initiative, and courage. Working with this
color will increase sexual power, psychic ability, mental capacity,
and increase spiritual focus. The healing characteristics of red in
Muladhara rituals are that it removes sluggishness, and aids in
healing depression, anger, and sadness.
The psychic powers of red are the most powerful of the
colors and, when used in rituals which empower the Muladhara
Chakra, will make one more confidant, forceful, will aid in
alignment to receive your wishes, gives the desire to be successful,
and the wish to fight injustice. Red and the Muladhara rituals may
be added to any touch therapy, any body work, any ritual, and any
portion or place in your day. As with all colors, you may wear
them, set some up to look at, light colors such as electric lights,
window panels, or candles in glass, or any other way you can
imagine. All methods of bringing red and the activation of the
Muladhara Chakra into your life will bring at least the benefits
listed above.
When used in conjunction with Powered Meridian
Treatment, the Chakra and color aid in curing sadness, anger,
depression, lack of concentration, rebellion, resentment, and
inability to get along with family members.
Orange is the color associated with Svadishthana, the
sexual Chakra associated with the genitals and area of the top of
the pubic bone. The Tibetan Tantric word "Vam" is associated with
this Chakra, the color orange, and water. To use the power of this
combination, set up orange flowers, orange lights, orange colored
objects, or orange panels. Focus on the color as you place hands on
the area of the genitals and pubic bone, chanting "Vam"
(pronounced Vum), and draw energy from the body, earth, and
finally the Cosmos into the area of the Chakra.
The color orange promotes sensations of health,
confidence, and strength. The use of orange and the Chakra
Svadishthana aids in assimilation of new ideas, fellowship,
expansion of personal contact and awareness, improves social
orientation, fosters exploration and ambition. When used in
Meridian work will aid in healing mental disorders, relieves
depression, promotes better circulation, reduces anger, aids in
ability to focus, improves energy levels, banishes exhaustion, and
much more.
The psychic associations with orange and the Chakra
Svadishthana are the power of blunt speech, good humor,
frankness, generosity, health, and confidence. Rituals based on
orange and Svadishthana provide a base of energy for athletes,
politicians, salesmen, and others who must have the charismatic
power to stand alone in the face of many.
When used in conjunction with specific Powered Meridian
Treatments, the Chakra and color are useful in reducing
resentment, rebellion, feelings of loneliness, stress, arrogance,
pride, anti-authority difficulties, sadness, and problems in holding
focus.
Yellow is the color of Manipura, the Chakra associated
with the naval area. The Tibetan Tantric word "Ram" is associated
with this Chakra and the color yellow. To use, set up the color
yellow in the form of flowers, objects, lights, or panels, focus on the
color, place hands in the area of the naval and solar plexus, chant
the word "Lam" (pronounced Lum), and draw energy from the
body, earth, and Cosmos to the area.
Yellow, like red and orange is a ruling color and will make
other people notice and follow. Yellow promotes the sensations of
power, intellect, and raw emotions, including change, self
assertion, truth, and trust. Yellow and the Chakra Manipura is the
area of family connection, the area of physical stress, and the area
of reaction to others. When used in rituals of the Manipura Chakra
self control, self assertion, and knowledge are promoted.
The healing power of yellow and Manipura when
connected to Tantric rituals includes healing digestion, elimination
problems, liver dysfunction, intestinal blockages, skin blemishes,
and stomach pain. In conjunction with Powered Meridian
Treatment will aid in curing worry, frustration, pretense, vanity,
and affectations.
The colors red, orange, and yellow are strongly associated
as are the Chakras Muladhara, Svadishthana, and Manipura and
are best used as a group for healing rituals, in Meridian work of all
kinds, and in body work in general. Unless there is a specific
problem, which requires very specific work, under special
circumstances, all three of these Chakras should be activated before
working on any specific one of them. Each of the higher Chakras
and colors will have an association with one or more of these
lower, physical Chakras. When working on yourself, your loved
ones, friends, or clients, activate all three lower Chakras prior to
beginning to work the associated Chakra in conjunction with the
higher, spiritual Chakra.
Green is associated with the Chakra Anahata which is
found expressing its energy on the surface of the body in the center
of the chest. Anahata is known as the heart Chakra and is emerald
green with pink to blood red center. The outer edges of the green
fades to pearly white and the Chakra is a very beautiful one to
envision. The Tibetan Tantric word "Yam" is associated with this
Chakra and the color green. To use, set up the color emerald green
(grass green) and a little pink or red with some pearly white to
bring in the upper and lower Chakra powers. Lie down nude,
relax, place hands on the surface expression of the Chakra Anahata
and chant "Yam" (pronounced Yum). Feel the energy connections
with the body, earth, and Cosmos.
Sensations associated with the Chakra Anahata and the
color green are neutralizing, soothing, love, compassion, and
fulfilling. When used in conjunction with the Chakra Anahata in
rituals brings emotional healing, increases life energy, connects
with the Kundalini, promotes self expression, wards off illness, and
tooth decay.
Green and the Chakra Anahata when used with Powered
Meridian Treatment is said to be able to cure headaches, grief, loss,
loneliness, ulcers, heart troubles, cancer, the flue, and when
combined with the lower Chakras greatly enhances the efficacy of
their healing powers. This is also true of the higher Chakras and
colors and the color green along with the Chakra Anahata is a
linking color to many other colors and Chakras. The Psychic
enhancement of green and Anahata includes increase in strength,
vigor, vitality, and forcefulness. Apple green changes personality,
dark green gives bursts of energy.
Sky blue is associated with the throat Chakra Visuddha. It
is associated with the Tibetan Tantra Bija mantra "Ham". To use,
set up colored objects, flowers, lights, or panels to meditate on, lie
down nude, place hands on throat, chant the sound "Ham"
(pronounced Hum), feel the energy associated with the color and
Chakra moving through the body, earth, and Cosmos.
Sensations associated with the color sky blue and the
Chakra Visuddha are truth, reliability, communication, idealism,
transcendental logic, contemplation. When used in conjunction
with Chakra rituals is said to heal fever, spasms, bleeding, and is
calming, cooling, antiseptic, and astringent. This is the color
favored by psychics and promotes spiritual growth, insight into
problems, analytical ability, and reduces inhibitions in love (a
favorite bedroom color).
Each of the higher three Chakras and colors associate with
a lower Chakra and color. The crown Chakra and the root Chakra
associate together, the third eye and the sexual Chakra associate,
and the throat Chakra and the naval Chakra associate. In this case,
the throat Chakra (sky blue) associates with the naval Chakra
(yellow) and enhances the healing powers of the physical, lower
Chakra Manipura and the two colors mix well in rituals of all
kinds.
Indigo is associated with the third eye Chakra, Ajna. This
Chakra is also represented by the color royal blue with silvery trim.
Indigo is more the color of the brow Chakra which is a combination
of the crown Chakra and the third eye (Ajna) Chakra. The Tibetan
Tantra Bija mantra associated with this Chakra is "Aum" and when
chanted with focus on the color is good for curing headaches. To
use, set up objects, flowers, lights, or panels of the color to focus
on, lie down nude, place hands on third eye area, chant the sound
"Aum" (pronounced Aum) and draw (or send) energy to the third
eye Chakra from the body, earth, and Cosmos.
Sensations associated with the color deep blue or indigo
include devotion, intuition, perception, and higher vision. When
used in conjunction with the Chakra Svadishthana (orange) brings
self awareness, telepathy, comprehension, and aids in curing eye,
ear, and nose difficulties. This color associates with the physical
color orange and the Chakra Svadishthana to compliment the
healing powers of the physical realm.
Violet is associated with the crown Chakra, Sahasrara,
located at the top of the head. The Tibetan Tantra Bija mantra
"Om" is associated with this color and Chakra. To use, set up
colors with either objects, flowers, lights, or panels of violet, focus
on the color, lie or sit nude, place hands on area of Chakra, and feel
the flow of energy through the Chakra from the earth and Cosmos
to and through the body.
This Chakra is associated with the root Chakra Muladhara
and the color violet (and white) which are associated with the
Chakra Sahasrara support the healing powers of the color red and
the Chakra Muladhara which contains the sleeping Kundalini, an
energy of enormous potential which may be raised to heal at all
levels of physical problems.
When used in connection with rituals the color violet
promotes spiritual inspiration, imagination, idealism, and superior
mentality. When used in conjunction with meridian body work,
aids in healing nervous and mental disorders, heals brain
disorders, brings purification, understanding, and divine powers.
When connected with the Chakra Muladhara, enhances the healing
powers of both.
White is the color of the Chakra Kether which is found
about one foot above the top of the head and is about the size of a
basketball to as small as a grapefruit. This is the color of unity,
grace, and glory. When used in association with all the powers of
the lower Chakras is physically empowering and healing.
Pink is the color of sanity, balance, and mental health. Pink
aids in relaxing and calming.
Silver is the color of compassion. Silver is the moon color
and is secretive in nature. Silver brings psychic protection. Silver
is also the color of lust and emotional activity. Silver is the color of
the power of Yesod, the representation on the Tree of Life of the
Ego, the second brain circuit.
Gold is the power of the sun. Gold represents illumination
and the glory of idea. Gold is the color of the right brain and is the
color of creativity, holistic thought and health, and sacrifice.
Illumination implies the loss (sacrifice) of previously held notions,
ideas, and habits. Thus, we sacrifice ourselves to the glory of
growth and attainment as represented by the color gold. Gold
represents a level of purity attained when the Ego is overcome and
transcendental knowledge and understanding are gained.
Each Chakra has an association with a supporting color and a
retarding color.

The supporting colors will bring healing action
when used in conjunction with the appropriate Chakra. When
used with the opposite Chakra, for example sky blue used with the
Manipura Chakra instead of yellow, the color will have a retarding
effect on the Chakra and will slow the function of the Chakra down
instead of increasing its function. The combination will, however bring about a completely different effect (see the writing above). Each of the color combinations will bring different effects depending on the chakra activated, ritual used, or other variable entered into the microcosm and affecting the macrocosm. This is the case with
red and green. When green is used in conjunction with
the red Chakra Muladhara instead of the color red, strange effects
may arise owing to the presence of the Kundalini which may be
raised to the heart Chakra and produce enormous energy. To slow
down a runaway third eye experience, use the color orange. To
slow down a hyperactive throat Chakra, use the color yellow. To
slow the sexual Chakra, use the color indigo or deep royal blue. In
this manner, each Chakra may be speeded up or slowed down in
the function represented by use of specific colors.
