SPIRITUAL ENERGIES OF COLOR
The Spirit of the Rainbow (1912-1919) by Henry Mosler. oil on canvas
Colors are vibrations of the divine, frequencies of God. The spiritual energies of color can be found in many energy healing practices, as well as in the connection to the human chakra system. These associations are often used as a framework for understanding and balancing the flow of energy within the body. Spiritual practitioners of (but not limited to) yoga, meditation, and energy healing can incorporate color into their practices to amplify or balance the energies they wish to work with.

A few more colors TO NOTE
Pink ~is commonly associated with love, compassion, and nurturing. It represents the softer, gentler aspects of love and is often linked to the high heart. Pink is also associated with emotional healing, kindness, and self-love.
Gold ~ often associated with divine energy, illumination, and spiritual enlightenment. It symbolizes wealth, not just in a material sense, but also in a spiritual and wisdom context. Gold is often linked to the highest spiritual values and the pursuit of higher consciousness
White ~ often associated with purity, clarity, and spiritual enlightenment. It symbolizes light, goodness, and cleanliness. In various spiritual traditions, white may represent a connection with higher realms, divine guidance, and the purification of energy.
Black ~ often associated with mystery, the unknown, and the hidden aspects of life. It can symbolize transformation, the subconscious mind, and the absorption or repelling of energy. In some spiritual practices, black is seen as a protective color, creating a shield against negativity.
Gray ~ a neutral color often associated with balance and compromise. It can represent a middle ground between black and white, signifying wisdom, neutrality, and a blending of opposites. It can also symbolize the integration of both light and shadow aspects of the self.
I hope you’ve find this summary helpful. Have fun in your explorations of color as it relates to your spiritual practice.
