1) What is energy?
Energy is active particles of either positively or negatively
charged ‘matter’ that constantly change form due to their
continuous movement and interaction with one another.Everything that exists is ‘matter’ – and that matter is
constantly changing its own matter because of the matter
around it. You are matter. Human matter is continuously
affected by the matter in the environment.
It matters what ‘matter’ is
around the ‘matter’.

High energy vibrates with
more power because it is
light, moves quickly more
often and in a short space
of time.

It matters what’s in
‘matter’.

Low energy vibrates with
less power because it is
heavy, moves slowly less
often and takes longer to
travel.

The energetic power of matter is influenced by its ability to
move. The electromagnetic energy field is powered by the
sun. The sun transmits seven types of energy through
electromagnetic waves of radio, micro,infrared, ultraviolet,
visible light, gamma and x-rays that sustain the life cycle of
all living organisms so they can grow and develop. It is our
life force.

2) Colour Energy: What is it? How can
you useit and what effect does it have?
Colour is a form of energy that has the power to
invigorate and sustain growth.
Colour is an element of the electromagnetic energy
field. It is the visible part of the light spectrum that
emits and reflects light. Light is filtered through the
atmosphere and reflected off different surfaces. We
could not see the world without light.
The human eye enablesus to detect and differentiate
between things in your world. Light reflected off of
images enters the eye through the cornea focusing the
rays onto the retina via the lens. The lens converts the
rays into electrical signals and sends them to the visual
cortex part of the brain where it interprets the
contrasting shades and hues that contain red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and...
