The Universal Meaning Of Colors Out of the many vibrations reaching the earth a tiny octave is registered by the optic nerves. Our eyes respond to these particular vibrations with a reaction that we know as color. Medical science has proven that different colors have definite and various effects upon our nervous system and that they act quite independently of our eyes or minds. It has been suggested that the seven Colors correspond to the seven major planets and are radiating down to the earth at their specific rates of vibration. The color rays are pouring down on the earth night and day. Each object and every atom responds to them, thereby announcing its own quality to those who are able to decipher the language of colors. All matter emits vibrations. A human being also radiates subtle emanations of everything of which he is composed. A person with extra sensitive sight is able to see the colors of these rays at a certain angle and speaks of them as the person's aura. Colors, therefore, are of the deepest significance to us throughout all phases of our life. They have more influence on us then we can possibly imagine. If we use them consciously they can help us by strengthening, soothing and inspiring us. RED has the lowest vibration, being therefore the coarsest and most physically vitalizing.
