The Seven Color Rays

All energy can be divided into spectrums, including the spectrum of color. Color plays a significant role in balancing and healing every aspect of our lives. Through color, we can connect to our body’s natural instincts to balance and heal our energy field. You can use color to affect your personal energy and certain gemstones are repositories of these color rays. These gemstones can bring the positive forces of the universe to your being. They can strengthen your aura and bring your body back into balance. Each person has a dominant color ray and you have this color throughout your life. This is not the same as an aura for this sheath occupies the same space as our physical self and is not projected around us like an aura is.

Red ray people are persuasive and self-assured. They challenge the norm. They make good leaders and good lovers. They can tap into their inner strength easily and can inspire others. Red is the color of strength. It is the key to knowing who you are. The color red is the color of compassion and love. Passion is red. Red can clear away feelings of inadequacy and give you courage. Red opens to door to inner confidence. Allow the red ray stones to teach you inner strength. There are no limitations except those that we put on ourselves.

Ruby is the primary carrier of the red ray. Ruby is the stone of love. This stone is very powerful so do not under estimate it. A single ruby has the power of a freight train. Ruby moves us to accept divine love as our right. What love we give is amplified through ruby. Ruby can help us give up fear – once we surrender fear, we will never fear anything. Ruby shows us how to have a free imagination. It shows us that all experiences are a gift for us, for they allow us to grow spiritually. Ruby can burn away negative attitudes.

To use ruby, start by simply wearing it. If it starts to feel uncomfortable or itch, stop wearing it. Your body has absorbed enough of the red ray. You can also place ruby over the 7 chakras, one by one, to strength them. You can also place a ruby on any weak spot on your body, especially weakened or strained muscles. You can create a red ray energy shield around you using ruby.

Other lesser red ray stones are Garnet (Rhodolite), Rhodonite, and Rose Quartz (only pieces that are not dyed or treated in any way), and Pink Tourmaline. Of course, these stones do not have the power of ruby, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect.

Blue ray energy is the energy of the mind. This is the realm of sensory data: what you hear, see, feel, etc. All this sensory data is transmitted to the mind where it is processed and acted upon. Blue ray people are intellectual, good at understanding, seeing patterns and are usually well-organized. They can make good teachers if they can learn humility. When they are involved in a cause, they are capable of true charity and compassion. By opening to a greater flow of blue ray energy, the truth can be seen; the ability to discern truth from illusion.

Sapphire is the primary bearer of the blue ray. It helps form a connection between spirit and mind. Through Sapphire, you can sense your spiritual path more fully. You can also remove bad habits by exposing them to blue light. Meditate by thinking of blue light -- let it fill your inner vision. Let the blue light of your mind's eye wash over you and once you are completely bathed in it, give all your negative thoughts to the blue light. Allow those thoughts to be carried away by the light.

Meditate using a Sapphire, allowing its blue rays to fill you. Sapphire can feel like frozen fire when allowed to enter your mind completely. This may feel uncomfortable, so start with short periods of time at the beginning and work up to longer periods of meditation. Sapphire can feel you from the bonds and lies of society, and open you to realms of the mind which you have never used before. It allows you to reach out and form new ways of thinking. Wearing Sapphire may help you see others for what they truly are. You will learn compassion towards others, but at the same time, you won't veer from your true life path. Sapphire has a soothing effect on your eyes and can help you see into situations and find the truth. Blue sapphire can help open your third eye.

Other lesser blue ray stones are Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Lace Agate, Azurite, Blue Tourmaline and Turquoise. Of course, these stones do not have the power of sapphire, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect.

The green ray brings harmony and inner peace. It is the ray of contentment and serenity. Green ray people are comfortable with themselves. They are excellent healers and are good counselors. Service is the key and self-serving is their undoing. The green ray can open your eyes and allow you to be in harmony with all of life. You must find inner peace before you can find peace out in the world. But to do this, you first must erase denial. Believe and trust that there are no boundaries and that everything and anything is possible. Remember that everyone is unique and you must accept that uniqueness within yourself. The green ray can help because it dispels illusions and allows you to see the reality of your being.

Emerald is the best carrier of the green ray. It teaches respect for all of creation and gives you a deep awareness of the beauty of nature and the love that is possible. Emerald allows you to see the divine in the mundane and ordinary. By seeing this, you will learn to have a reverence for all life, large and small, and know that no living thing is unimportant.

Emerald can help clear imbalance and tension from your life. With its help, you will be capable of the highest form of service and love. This will give you deep satisfaction on a spiritual level.
To use emerald or one of the other green ray stones, wear a necklace for no more than 1/2 hour when you are mediating. During meditation, try to raise your vibration to match the vibration of emerald. Imagine a green ball of light forming on your lower back and moving up your spine to the top of your head. Hold your breath for a few seconds and let the ball of green energy stay suspended above your head. Then slowly release your breath and let the ball travel down the front of your body to your sacral plexis (naval) chakra. Then imagine it entering your body as you finish exhaling. This will help remove the blocks that are preventing you from attaining harmony.

Other lesser green ray stones are: Green Aventurine, Chrysoprase, Malachite, and Green Tourmaline. Of course, these stones do not have the power of emerald, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect.

Orange ray people are spontaneous and lively. They can influence others with their enthusiasm. They are outgoing and can be risk-takers. Those who practice discrimination and go with the flow will be natural sensitives and seers. They must learn to see the big picture and not just grab on to the newest idea to come their way.

Many people feel estranged from the world. The orange ray can help you become part of the world at the same time as you are learning about yourself. The orange ray calls you home and helps you understand the importance of home. It can help you realize that "home" is wherever you are.
Orange ray stones remove blocks that have been set up in prior lifetimes. You will be filled with vitality, joy and a love of all life. The orange ray helps balance all the other color rays.

Carnelian is the most powerful of all the orange ray stones. Carnelian is the key to joy. It allows you to face your fears and resolve them. If you are an orange ray person, you should always wear a carnelian stone. Carnelian brings you into harmony with Earth. It can show you how to attract opportunities and understand the root causes of the circumstances in your life. Carnelian encourages the reproduction of good cells in your body.

Other lesser orange ray stones are Orange Calcite and Red Aventurine. Of course, these stones do not have the power of sapphire, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect.

Violet ray people take their time, get to know people over time, don't rush to judgment and are very loyal to the people who are their friends. They like to work with symbols and numbers. Violet ray people are at home within themselves.

The violet ray helps us attain inner poise and grace. This is true inner strength. It is ability to walk through life's trials without being burned. The violet ray is the direct link to your soul (your higher self) and is a bottomless ocean of wisdom and truth. Be in it and let it be in you. Let is soothe you. In the presence of the violet ray, you can be content with a simple life. Call upon it to help you with understanding and courage as you walk down life's path. The violet ray can give you grace. Grace is the quality of one who has learned not to judge others. The violet ray helps you allow the soul to guide you, rather than listening only to the mind and rational thought. Learn to be guided by soul and find the violet ray path to greatness.

Amethyst is the best carrier of the violet ray, especially those stones with a deep violet color. This stone increases your ability to know and speak the truth. Amethyst teaches the use of intuition to explore into the unknown. Strength is drawn from imagination and dreams. As you gain control over your fears and emotions, often coming out in dreams or nightmares, you will find that those fears and emotions can no longer control you.

Other lesser violet ray stones are Lavender Amethyst, Rhodolite, Purple Rainbow Fluorite, and Sugilite. Of course, these stones do not have the power of sapphire, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect. Note: Sugilite is the stone of Archangel Michael and if you use Sugilite to connect to the violet ray, ask for his help on your journey.

Yellow ray people are always busy. They like to be involved in planning and achieving goals. Their vision is always turned to the future. They are trust-worthy and make excellent friends. Artists are often yellow ray people for they can see the finished product in their heads before it is put on canvas or carved out. Michelangelo said that he didn't carve the stone, he merely released the statute from the stone. He saw the finished statue rather than the uncarved stone.
 
The yellow ray brings in joy, self-assuredness, abundance and a connection with those who are on a higher vibration. It helps facilitate change, but it does so in a gentle way. There are fewer yellow ray people on Earth than any other ray. Their role is to help the rest of use the yellow ray and therefore balance the Earth's energy. The yellow ray works mainly with the mind -- breaking down bad patterns and blocks. Once free from these obstacles, your mind becomes more flexible and free flowing. You are open to healing and spiritual growth. You find a new appreciation for life. The yellow ray can also facilitate communication with spiritual beings that are not of our realm. The yellow ray helps you detach from old ways and false concepts.

Citrine is the best carrier of the yellow ray, the more yellow the stone, the better. Spheres work best for deeper cleansing. Citrine's vibrations are drawn into your body with wavelike motion, which soothes and eases stress immediately. Muscles can relax under its influence and you will become more flexible. It is excellent for someone with tight muscles, slow digestion, cramps or back pain. Citrine carries the yellow ray into every cell of your body, replacing negative energy.

Other lesser yellow ray stones are Yellow Sapphire, Amber, and Yellow or Golden Beryl. Of course, these stones do not have the power of sapphire, and therefore it will take longer to feel their effect.

Indigo ray people are intuitive. They can manipulate energy well. They are deep thinkers and tend to look at things from every angle. Because of this, they tend to procrastinate until they have a plan. Indigo ray people are not risk takers. They prefer to have it all figured out before taking that first step. They are contemplative and tend to be private. They often talk about superficial things rather than what is really on their mind, for they have difficulty trusting others. They always try to avoid conflict. Indigo ray people need to learn to trust and not fear.

Indigo energy can help you regain health, balance and inner peace. It can teach you how to thrive, rather than survive. With the indigo ray, we can replace fear with inspiration.

Indigo Sodalite is the best carrier of the indigo ray. This is not a ray that works immediately, but over time. The vibrations of indigo allows an opening of the upper mind or lower subconscious area where analytical thought does not usually exist. Over time, wearing sodalite (or any other indigo ray stone) will deepen your thought processes and show you the patterns of life. Numbers and symbols will reveal their deeper significance under the indigo ray. Wearing the indigo ray will put you more in touch with yourself.

White ray people are rare. They are integrated and self-assured. They are comfortable working with all kinds of people; they made good diplomats and judges for they can see all points of view, yet they remain detached. Foundation is important to the white ray person. They must learn to be open to all possibilities and not be judgmental; by achieving this, they will find inner strength.

Only very clear quartz and white diamonds have a pure white ray energy in them. Other stones usually have a bit of another color ray in them. The white ray allows its bearer to become part of the whole; the whole person as well as the whole of creation. Cooperation, communication, agreement and understanding are all part of the white ray energy.
