By now we have understood that Prana is the energy we breathe, the energy we see, think, feel, hear, imagine and perceive in different forms. Prana is everything. It is entire Creation. It is the gyan we receive. At the physical level, it is the energy that gets translated through various layers (koshas) and manifests as the physical.
Manik , a NASA scientist, carried out an experiment, staying without solid food for nearly 120 days, only on prana from sunlight minimally aided by small quantities of liquids. It becomes important to note that human life continues to exist as long as it can retain prana of a certain frequency even in the absence of food.
Our bodies absorb prana and utilise it for vital functions. Used-up prana is given back to the environment and is further used as life force by beings lower in the evolutionary ladder. This process continues till it reaches the lowest form of Creation. Different pranic frequencies have different colours, part of a spectrum ranging from light to dark; each unique to a specific use for the body. Think, why do different shades of the same colour invoke different emotions? Why is anger described as ‘seeing red’ and not as ‘seeing white’? Peace is represented by a white dove. Colour is the language of prana.
The combination of various colours defines the personality of the individual. This includes the physical, mental and emotional state of the individual. A clairvoyant is one who can see the colour pattern of prana around a physical form, and tell the subject’s present and sometimes future states as well. The colour spectrum ranges from the darker shades to the lighter shades in the VIBGYOR spectrum. The darker shades like dark reds, browns, and dark greys are the grosser colours while whitish pinks, violets, blues, greens etcetera are subtler colours. Thus, colour is the code in which the subtle body communicates with the physical. It is through colours that clairvoyants are able to foretell disease even before it manifests in the physical.
Like everything else in creation, each colour also has a role and place. While balance and harmony result—if they are present in the appropriate place—in the presence of a certain colour, a shade appearing in a place not appropriate for it causes imbalance and disharmony at the physical, emotional, or any other level as the case may be. Too less or too much of any colour with respect to the other, till some level, will create an imbalance in the individual. Just as the colour indicates the problem, it can also be used to correct the problem. To be able to do so requires dedication and practice.
There are various sources of prana—food, air, clothes, environment, sound and more depending on our level of evolution. We thrive only on the pranic spectrum that is conducive to our state.
In this article let us understand in-depth the relation between colour and food. Broadly speaking, red gives strength and can be found in foods like red meat, pomegranate juice, carrots and others. Green has a cleansing effect, and is present in foods like neem, bitter gourd, bottle gourd and tori. Yellow has a healing effect such as that which is found in turmeric (haldi), an antiseptic. Speaking of different shades of the same colour, take red for example; one can clearly see the different effects of darker shades of red and lighter shades of red. A darker red such as that of red meat is a much heavier food than pomegranate, which is a lighter red and is thus a lighter food. It is not the intake of colours that depends on the individual’s physiology but it is the physiology which is dependent on the intake of colours.
Largely, water comes in the blue spectrum. However, depending on which segment of the spectrum it falls in, it can have different influences of icy coolness, fluidity, turbulence or stillness. Utilities of these would vary from the range of the spectrum, and the shade it is falling in, which is a separate subject in itself. Whenever a frequency exists where it is not supposed to, there will be disturbance; which is what one might call a side effect. Everything and every colour has to be in balance with each other.
You can do the simple exercise of ‘Colour Prana’ to experience the effect of colour. By channelising appropriate colours through the consciousness, participants come out at the end of the exercise feeling lightness and/or coolness in their abdomen. After a meal or heavy snacks, light orangish white colour is first used to break down the food in the digestive tract because orange is the colour of fire. Greenish white is then used to cleanse and blueish white to cool. This simple demonstration proves the effect of the world of colours on digestion.
