Color impacts us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our response to light is deeply ingrained in our nervous system. The enzymes and hormones in our bodies are affected by different colored lights, causing them to go through molecular changes.
Our spectrum of consciousness is not separate from the spectrum of light. Color is a part of the radiation from the sun. Within the visible electromagnetic spectrum, the longest wavelength (lowest frequency) is red light and the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) is violet light. (White light does not have a specific frequency or wavelength because it is just what our eyes see when all the of colors’ frequencies are combined.)
Because consciousness is so closely related to the spectrum of light, the colors you choose for your clothing, altar cloth, objects on your Blessing Altar, and other tools will dramatically affect the energy of your space clearing.
Refer to the following list for your altar cloths, items for your altar, and the clothes that you wear during your clearings.
