Orange has a freeing action upon the mind, relieving repression. Because orange is a blend of red and yellow, it combines physical energy with mental wisdom, including a transformation between low physical reaction and higher mental response. Thus, it is often referred to as “The Wisdom Ray.”Orange is warm, cheering, and non-cheering, and non-constricting. Through orange, we’re able to heal the physical body (red), and at the same time, induce within the mind (yellow) greater understanding. Orange helps assimilate new ideas. Orange is the best emotional stimulant, helping to remove inhibitions paving independent social behavior, such as bringing joy to your workday and strengthen your appetite for life.

Red is called “The Great Energiser.” It loosens, releases stiffness and constrictions. Red is the first visible colour we see after the infrared band is passed. It promotes cellular growth, stimulating the “will”aspect, or the circulatory system. It is therefore indicated for all colds, sluggish or dormant conditions, such as pneumonia, arthritis, anaemia, as a liver stimulant, an energy builder, and for increasing circulation. Red links with and stimulates the base of the spine, causing the adrenal glands to release adrenalin. This results in greater strength. Red causes haemoglobin to multiply, thus increasing energy which raises body temperature conditions as it stimulates sensory nerves such as hearing, taste, smell, and activates metabolism. It is excellent for anaemia or blood-related conditions.
