Stained glass windows were brought into cathedrals as a way of passively teaching religious stories and creating peaceful, spiritual emotions in the attendees.
The earliest history of stained glass has been lost over the years, but the Egyptians and Mesopotamians are known to have worked with colored glass in jewelry and windows. The "Dark Ages" were a time when stained glass was removed from cathedrals. 
What was the effect of colored glass windows?  The colors filtered by the sunlight through the windows bring the frequencies and qualities of each color and element. Blue brings peace, loyalty, devotion, tranquility as well as physical health benefits. Green gives balance, love, relaxed breathing and more. Purple, Red and Yellow are often found in windows, but Orange is less often used. The next time you are fortunate to see a window, let yourself experience the effects of the window's colors.  What is the story it's telling you? What are the sacred symbols, geometry and other patterns that are affecting you?  

The Color in Words.   What color do you associate with the words  "Peace"?   Green?  "Harmony" - Blue?   "Creativity" - Orange?    "Passion" - Red?   Each word carries not only an audible frequency, but a color frequency as well.     When you look at words do you see colors, feel colors or hear colors?  It's an interesting exercise to find the color correspondence to words.  Letters of the alphabet have their own color frequency too. Numbers have their individual frequencies.  

Experiment with words and numbers and see what colors come to your mind.  It will help increase your sensitivity and awareness of colors.   Some people have this ability naturally. Synesthesia is the neurological condition that automatically translates letters and words into colors.  Research into this ability has accelerated in recent years to help us better understand cognitive and perceptive processes within the brain.   What colors do you associate with "Water", "Air", "Belief", "Health", "Wisdom" ...   

Solarized water brings the qualities and healing abilities of a specific color into your body where these qualities can be absorbed. 
The benefits of green are - antibacterial properties, stabilizing blood pressure, relaxing and improving lung function, opening the heart chakra and bringing the feelings of joy, harmony, balance and love. Things we can all use today!
How to do? Take a clean, empty,plain green glass (not painted) bottle without label or writing, fill it with water and sit in a window for 24 hours. This allows the sun and moon energies (Pingala and Ida, Yang and Yin) to send the properties of green into the water. Drink several times a day and within a week you will feel better. This 'green' water will also taste a little sweeter and have a different quality than plain water.  Drinking colored water has many benefits - try it and see!

Meditation with color is a great way to expand your meditation experience. Sit comfortably in a quiet place, close your eyes and visualize pure green light (the shade of grass) coming in through the crown of your head. With your inhale, see this green light coming to the center of your chest.  With your exhale, visualize this light becoming a ball. With each inhale and exhale, this ball of pure green light expands, eventually filling your chest and going down to your feet and up to your head. It expands and contracts with each inhale and exhale.  Only feel this peaceful light filling your body, cleansing and refreshing your cells, organs, muscles, nerves and entire body. When you feel this refreshment is complete, the ball of green light begins to shrink back to its original size in the center of your chest and then it enters your spine, going back out through your crown. Sit quietly until you are ready to go on with your day. In just a few minutes you can feel renewed, balanced and joyful. Green light is a very powerful refreshing and balancing tool and brings much support to a tired or stressed body and mind.  Use a softer, pure green color if you prefer, but the quality of green is peace, harmony, balance, and neutrality.  For now, use only this pure green light, no other colors.
