In ancient times in Egypt and Greece, colour temples were built into seven different compartments, each one containing one of the seven colour rays. People were brought to these temples for both physical healing and spiritual uplifting. These ancient civilizations understood and used the power of the rays. Today we also need to be conscious that each of the seven great colour manifestations affect particular centers of the body.
Our body is composed of cosmic radiations and seven colours -violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. These colours become imbalanced in course of time. Astral gems are carefully selected for use to affect the body beneficially through their measured radiations. The table below shows how the seven rays correspond to the seven chakras.
We are constantly surrounded by cosmic colours, which help us realize that as we ascend the ladder of spiritual attainment by developing mentally, morally and physically; we are also ascending in the degree of our sensitivity to light, colour and stones. Gems increase the psychic powers of an individual, in addition to warding off the ill-effects of planets, by their curative powers.
Each colour has a specific function to perform in the development of our lives. Colours, like other forces in nature, are either positive or negative. Both the biological and the physical properties have to be understood and adapted to suit the particular individual who needs it at a particular time. For example, today we may need a red stone for vitality, but next week we may need to use green for harmony.
