The 7 metaphysical rays: colours, virtues and the colour of your light ✨

In metaphysics there is the teaching of the7 Rays of Light. These 7 rays are different emanations of white light, known as divine light. When white light is refracted, the colours that make it up appear: blue, violet, green, yellow, gold, pink and white itself. Each of these lights, or metaphysical rays, gives off a different energy that helps us move forward in a particular area of life.

This teaching is closely linked to colour therapy. Through your preferences and habits, you can discover which ray you feel most drawn to. For example, if your favourite colour is violet and you feel at ease surrounded by things in that colour, your inner light probably vibrates on the same frequency as ray 7 (violet).

Each ray is linked to an archangel and a specific energy that influences different areas of our lives. To learn all about the archangels, we recommend our article The 7 Archangels 👼✨ How can they help us? Below, we tell you everything about the metaphysical rays.

RAY 1 – BLUE
