THE SEVEN RAYS OF THE RAINBOW

Our main source of light on this planet is the sun.

We are naturally driven by the energy of sunlight - it provides warmth, growth for food, ability to cook that food, and much more - the sun's energy is vital to our quality of life on a daily basis.

The sun drives our world and dictates much of our behavior. The rising sun stimulates activity and a state of alertness, while the blue light of evening brings on relaxation, and finally full darkness indicates a natural time to sleep for most people.

The energy of light

One of the benefits we receive from the sun's rays is the energy produced when light waves become color!

Emotionally we respond to colors as they fit the time of day or year. The reduction of sunlight on a cloudy day or the long months of winter can significantly affect our emotions. Lack of sunlight can cause mood swings, depression, low energy level. Most of us notice a fresh, cheerful, vibrant feeling when Spring arrives after a long dark winter.

The seven color rays are spiritual forces emanating from the white light. They are perpetually vibrating - not only on the surface of the earth - but also above and through it, encircling the globe in streams of endless energy.
