So you think colors don’t affect you? Part III

Continued from previous Blog…..

This technique can be extended to other Chakras and used with great advantage in curing a disease.

Like Chakras, each planet has a distinctive color as well. Sun is orange and Mars is red in color. Moon and Venus are white. Mercury is yellowish green and Jupiter is greenish yellow. Saturn is blue, while Rahu and Ketu have the color of smoke.

In each horoscope there is a sign rising in the east at the time of birth. This sign is called Lagna or Ascendant. The color of the planet which rules over the sign in Lagna becomes very important for that person.

Each planet has a representative gemstone which boosts the power of that planet. Sun is represented by Ruby, Moon by pearl, Mars by Coral, Mercury by emerald, Jupiter by Topaz, Venus by diamond and Saturn by Sapphire. Rahu and Ketu are ruled by Gomed and Cat’s eye respectively.

The signs occupying the fifth and ninth house in a chart also become very important as their lords always give good results. If any of these planets are weak a person will have problems connected to the area covered by that planet.

The usual remedy for a weak planet is to wear the gemstone of correct purity and weight. This is however not always possible as these are invariably expensive and beyond the reach of a person passing through a tough time. Color therapy comes in very handy in such cases.

Let us consider the case of a person with Virgo Ascendant. Let us assume that Mercury is weak and placed in sixth, eighth or twelfth house. Such a mercury will take a toll of the health of the person and he will suffer from lungs and stomach related problems. The obvious remedy will be to make him wear an Emerald in a gold ring on the pinky of the right hand.

Emerald however sells at the rate of Rs. 4000.00 a Ratti. The minimum weight that can have any appreciable effect is 5.25 Ratti. This comes out to over Rs.20000.00 for gemstone alone. Gold ring and making charges are extra. This is expensive and not every one can afford it especially when the times are tough.

The easy way out of this is to drink water which has been kept in a glass bottle of parrot green color for eleven days. Parrot green color can be easily produced by using two sheets of Yellow cellophane and one of blue.

It will also be a good idea to lie down without clothes in parrot green light which can be produced easily by covering a light bulb with yellow and green cellophane.

Color therapy for sure is not as convenient as wearing a gemstone but it is a lot cheaper and used properly gives the same results.

Free medical astrology article on relationship of colors, chakras and disease.
Chakras are not only the points at which the causal-astral-physical bodies are stitched together, they are also the centers for distribution of Prana. Prana is the cosmic energy that keeps us alive. No Prana equals a dead human being. It is Prana that keeps the plumbing, pumping, filtration, aeration and excretory systems of our bodies going.
Consider the case of a perfectly healthy human who dies because of some reason. His body organs are healthy, and it should theoretically be possible to revive him by connecting him to machines that mimic different body functions. That however does not happen. We all know that departure of Prana from the body and death are final and irrevocable. They are also synonymous.
The Prana enters our bodies like an electric current through Medulla Oblongata (A point just where the spine meets the brain) and travels downwards through the spine. Different Chakras then send it to different organs where it is used up to power them.
Our main body organs like stomach and intestines, liver, kidneys, reproductive and execratory systems are closely bunched together. Together these require a huge amount of Prana. To make it available, there are three Chakras clustered together. These are Mooladhar, Swadhishsthan and Manipuri.
Heart is one of the more important organs of our body and is allocated one chakra (Anahat) solely for its own use. Speech is how we express ourselves and use the cosmic energy for our own use. The speech apparatus therefore also gets one Chakra (Vishuddh) to draw Prana from.
When a Chakra becomes clogged due to improper living regime, its ability to supply Prana efficiently to the connected body parts gets impaired. The reduced quantity of Prana has a direct effect on the well being of that organ. If this continues for a sufficient length of time a disease develops in that part of our body.
The Chakras can have impaired functioning due to other reasons as well. The Karma carried over from past lives can damage one or more Chakras and cause multiple health issues.
We saw earlier that each Chakra has a particular energy signature. The rate of vibration of Prana in each Chakra is different and this causes different Chakras to have varied colors. This gives us a hint as to how a color can be used to cleanse a Chakra and make it healthy again.
Let us first of all consider Mooladhar Chakra. It is red in color and is ruled by planet Mars. It rules over vitality, self confidence and inner courage. It also rules over adrenal gland, urinary system, colon and hip region. If Mars is heavily afflicted in the horoscope, this chakra will suffer and consequently disease will develop in the organs associated with this Chakra. The remedy will be to increase the color red in that person’s life to bring it back to normal.
Red color can be increased in several ways. One can simply wear predominantly red clothes. A better way is to drink water which has been kept in a crimson colored glass bottle and exposed to the Sun for eleven days. Exposure to infrared lamp or an ordinary electric bulb covered with red cellophane will also do the trick.
People suffering from lack of self confidence and indecisiveness benefit very well if exposed to red and orange colors. Orange is especially good for stomach complaints as also depression.

So you think colors don’t affect you? Part I

Free astrology article on colors, planets and how they relate to astrology.

The Hindu concept of creation of our universe is radically different from those prevalent in other parts of the world. Hinduism believes that the universe springs forth from the primal energy “Aum” which condenses into matter in three steps.
The first step is the idea phase of the manifested and unmanifested universe and is basically nothing but a conception of what the world needs to be in the mind of the divine and universal intelligence. This first phase is called the causal body and is nothing but an idea.
In the second step this idea goes a step further and becomes a detailed structure in the mind of the divine being. It is as yet an idea but a more focused one. This is the astral body of that idea.
In the third stage the focused idea gets converted to tangible universe which we can experience with our five senses. This is the physical body of the original idea.
Consider for example a person who wants to produce a microchip that will work faster than all other chips manufactured so far. This concept stage is the causal body of the new chip. In the next stage he goes to his computer and carefully maps the placements of electronic circuits which will give it the required blazing speed. Finally after a few months he comes out with a blue print capable of leaving all competition behind. This is the astral body of the chip. Finally the engineers take a wafer of silicon and etch the blueprint of the circuits on it. This finished microchip is something we can see with our eyes and feel with our sense of touch. This the physical body of the microchip.
Every thing that we see around us was once a gleam in the idea of its inventor and passed through concept, blueprint and production stage before it came to us.
Human body too has three stages but in addition it has an entity which Hindus call ‘Atman’ or soul. Soul is the tiny spark of the infinite being and is encased in successive layers of the causal, astral and physical body. Soul being a part of infinity is infinite itself but since most of us choose not to focus on its divine origin, we fail to harness its real power.
The causal, astral and physical bodies in the case of conscious creatures are joined together at seven points which are called chakra. These are named as Mooladhar, Swadhishsthan, Manipur, Anahat, Vishuddh, Kutastha and Sahastrara chakras.
Each of these chakras has a color associated with it.

Chakra	Color	Location	Ruling planet
Mooladhar	Red	Coccyx	Mars
Swadhishsthan,	Orange	Genital	Mercury
Manipur	Yellow	Navel	Sun
Anahat	Smoky Green	Heart	Venus
Vishuddh	Smoky Blue	Throat	Jupiter
Kutastha	Transparent White	Between Eyebrows	Saturn
Sahastrara	None	Top of cranium	Ketu
