The Question:
"There are three influences that can have a positive effect on health. They are color, music/sound and humor. How do you suppose these three things can influence health?

Also, how can we best utilize the sun for health?"

Thank you John and Margaret, for your response to this. And Zina, good response to the last question. And double thanks Margaret for your excellent dissertation on sound.

In past ages when the Fourth Ray was in cycle, sound was a very potent healer. Sound, color and movement were powerful healing forces used in the ancient temples in Atlantis and this knowledge shall be restored at the right time in the future.

Sound and color can be used to harmonize chords within our own makeup.

The form side of our nature is made up of a chord of four notes, which correspond to our rays. The first note is that of the physical body, the second the astral, the third mental and the fourth the personality as a whole. Illness will often surface when one of these notes is unable to sound in fullness and when this occurs the sounding needs to be reinforced.

Through meditation and contemplation you can discover which notes and colors that needs to be stimulated within you. You can compensate by sounding this note in meditation and saying the OM on that note. Another way is to just sound the OM throughout the scale until you hit a note that strikes a need within you. Then if you sound it periodically you can reap much benefit.

The same goes with colors. Look through or visualize the spectrum of colors and wait for your attention to fall upon one that seems most healing to you. Once this is discovered you can make a conscious attempt to bring as much of this color into your life as possible.

Let us say that you sense that you lack red. This is a color that enhances physical vitality. You can start by eating more red food such as raspberries, strawberries, cherries, radishes, rare red meat and cayenne pepper. The second thing you can do is to make a trip to the store and get a red light and let it shine on you while you sleep, work or relax.

The third thing is that you can, in meditation, visualize yourself being surrounded by a beautiful rainbow of colors with red being in extra prominence. Then see yourself breathing in this red color and it vitalizing your whole body. Make sure you visualize a very bright and vital looking red.

Here are the bare bones meanings of the basic colors.

White
This is a synthesis of all the colors and is a symbol of purity and completeness.

Red
Physical Energy; physically-based person personality or sensuality. Harsh reds tend to indicate emotionally charged physical animation, usually anger. Warm reds, sensuous, or physically charged and healthy.

Orange
Friendly, open, approachable. A strong orange also shows physical vitality. A good color to balance the mind and body.

Yellow
This is a good color to overcome depression and heighten spirits. It stimulates thinking, creativity, imagination.

Green
This has often been called the healing color. This is because it is the midway color and can be used to balance the other notes within you. If you sense that your illness or discomfort is caused by being out of balance or "out of sorts" this is a good color for you.

Concentration on this color aids in deva/angel contact.

Blue
This color is most strongly associated with the mind and is known as the calming color. The reason for this is that it takes attention away from the emotional body to the mind and thus allows the emotions to quiet down and recharge.

Indigo
A good color to stimulate the heart and the spiritual love necessary to heal. This color absorbs negativity.

Violet
Known as the spiritual color. A good general color to raise vibrations and center yourself on higher work. This color is associated with the Seventh Ray and is a good color to stimulate the body to improve its own defenses and building energies.

Gold
This is a strong healing color that will always tone the body and spirit.
