Color holds an energy vibration and influences every aspect of our being … our thoughts, actions, and health. Based on our experiences, we associate feelings, memories, and meanings to color, which determines our color preferences.
Color therapy is an ancient approach to healing. Colors can profoundly affect mood and often have a measurable effect on the emotional and physical behavior of human beings especially when dealing with stress. It is important to have our chakras <which continually move and pulse> balanced so that each color related to our chakras is in harmony to increase the energy flow in our body. Imbalances can be corrected by exposure to crystals, colored lights, food or liquids. Here is a breakdown on some basic colors and what they represent:
Red: energy … vitality … courage … alertness … power … passion … increases circulation and temperature … can aggravate stress and cause anger … people who are frustrated usually dislike red …
Pink: protects … engenders unconditional love … lack of courage
Orange: joy … optimism … provokes change … creates opportunity … freedom … enthusiasm … helps put you life back together … resourcefulness … independence … lessens hostility … warmth
Yellow: contentment … aids concentration and study … provides mental stimulation … optimism … self-worth … lifts depression … encourages detachment … disliked by those feeling isolated … aids in letting go
Green: nature … growth … harmony … change … encourage hope ... relaxing … peace… love … balance … healing
Blue: spiritual … relaxation … tranquility ... meditation … patience … calm … cooling … truth … serenity … harmony
Purple: self respect … knowledge … spirituality … perception … visualization … clarity … intuition … good color if you need to learn to love yourself
Gray: security … reliability … intelligence … dignity … maturity … practical
Brown: earth … hearth … comfort … outdoors … endurance … stability … simplicity
In general, to enhance your feelings of well being, surround yourself with colors that appeal to you … but keep in mind when imbalances occur, you can use color therapy to bring yourself back into balance.
