Achala and the Color Wheel

The primary colors of pigment are magenta, yellow, and cyan. The primary colors of light are green, blue, and red. Those two sets of three lay out nicely in a Star of David pattern of six colors. And by mixing equal parts of each two adjacent of those six colors, a circle of twelve colors can be constructed.

Then, by dividing the circle into four quadrants (making an emotional cross in the circle), four color zones can be distinguished:

• Green Zone
  balancing, neither activating nor calming
  always safe
  drainer of trauma
  help for viral problems, toxins, infections
  • Turquoise - physical
  • Green - mental
  • Lime - spiritual
• Red Zone
  stimulating, active
  help for low energy
  • Red - physical
  • Orange - mental
  • Yellow - spiritual
    corrective for blue/depression
• Magenta Zone
  nourishing, regenerating
  increaser of life
  help for undernourishment, difficulty absorbing
  • Scarlet - physical
  • Magenta - mental
  • Purple - spiritual
• Blue Zone
  relaxing, calming
  help for "itis" conditions
  • Cyan - physical
  • Indigo - mental
    corrective for orange/stress
  • Blue - spiritual

We're talking about a subtle, inner way of experiencing the colors. Visualizing a color to apply to a condition can be helpful. However, use discretion. "Don't be a doctor unless you are one." Self-healing is best.
