In the fascinating world of quantum physics, we find that colors, sounds, and emotions are all connected through their own unique frequencies. Each color, feeling, and note vibrates at its distinct frequency, revealing a profound interplay that shapes our experiences and perceptions. The same is true for emotions. So, then, the hypothesis that color can influence different emotions and energetic frequencies emerges. In my series on color frequencies, I’m exploring these connections and what they may mean for humanity. 


Red base energy

Let's dive into this exploration, starting with the color red. 

 

Red is a primal energy

Red is often associated with energy, passion, and the fundamental force of creation. It holds significance in various cultures and symbolizes emotions ranging from love to anger. However, we encounter some intriguing contradictions when we delve into the scientific aspects. 

 

At around 430 Terahertz (THz), the frequency of red seems to clash with traditional ideas. According to an emotional scale by Dr. David Hawkins, this frequency corresponds with feelings of shame and guilt, which doesn't quite align with our usual perceptions of red, which is passionate and resonates with the Root Chakra.

 

If we imagine the number for red is simply 430, without any unit of measurement attached, then, it falls higher on Hawkins’s scale.

 

Drawing inspiration from ancient wisdom, I found a fascinating connection in the sound of Om at 432 Hz. In Hindu philosophy, Om is considered the primordial sound of creation, resonating throughout the universe. Could it be that colors, like red, amplify subtle sound frequencies, shaping our physical and energetic states? 

 

Red has the longest wavelength of visual light 

Furthermore, red's long wavelength reveals an interesting correlation between color and vibration. As the color with the longest wavelength, red vibrates at a slower pace than other colors, grounding us to the earth's energies. In the chakra system, red is associated with the Root Chakra, linking us to our primal instincts and connection to the earth. 

 

Red in art

As we look at the intersection of art and frequency, colors blend in a circular fashion, not in a linear pattern. To create a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences, the colors blend together. For instance, mixing red and blue creates purple, a color associated with compassion and reason. So, too, do our emotions intertwine to paint the canvas of our lives. By incorporating color mindfully into art, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. 

 

Exploring the connections between color, sound, and emotion reveals a fascinating web of interconnectedness. As we delve into the mysteries of quantum physics, may we embrace the symphony of vibrations that shape our world, leading us toward greater understanding and harmony. 

 

And as I know this post asks more questions than it answers, I would love to know your thoughts on this color. Tune in for more color frequency analyses in the coming weeks.
