For a moment, imagine our
existence without colour….feel the difference in vibration?
Colour is a very effective
tool for meditation, visualizations and healing. As energy beings, we can sense
the vibration of colour. Even people or animals who have a sight impairment or
have difficulty perceiving colour, can sense the vibration of colour.
Some science about colour:
Colour
comes directly from light energy and each colour has its own wavelength/vibration. For whatever is exposed to the different wavelengths
of colour frequency there is a ‘cause and effect’ reaction.
There is a reason why
things appear in particular colours. The colour of anything we observe depends
upon a few factors. Firstly, everything is made up of electrons and atoms,
which move in various frequencies. How something will look when bathed in light
is governed by these frequencies. Any object, when exposed to light reacts with
the result of a wide spectrum of colours that we can perceive.
There are many reasons why things are the colour
they are, but mainly it is due to the absorption and scattering properties of
the material differing from that of the incoming wavelengths of the light that
illuminates it.
The practicality of colour:
Colour
is another free tool we have to induce healing and regeneration of our
selves. This tool has been
used for centuries, to stimulate healing on all levels – in areas of our physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Colour varies in vibration from low to high frequencies. The lower frequencies relating to our
physical survival – grounding through to our personal power (darker and denser colours like black,
brown, red, orange, yellow) to our high frequencies relating to our spiritual
nature – (light and bright colours such as magenta, blues and purples.)
The
colours you are exposed to will and do affect your energy. You know how you feel on a bright
sunny day compared to dark stormy day. Colours of the clothes you wear tell a
story about your energy therefore its also easy to read a person’s energy based
on the colour of their clothing.
In your home you can choose the colours for different areas; reds
stimulate excitement, yellow creativity and green a sense of calm. Eating particular colours in our
food; for example, an orange resonates with the sacral chakra – it will help
balance relationships, finances and reproductive organs.
So
colour is not just an object of delight to our sense of sight, but a very
interesting step into changing our well-being on all levels. You will
automatically be attracted to certain colours through your subconscious, or you
can consciously choose colours to correct and balance your vibration so you are
healthy and happy.
Resonating with colour:
Naturally, we are already aware
of the colours we are drawn to; as you also know which colours you dislike or are
repulsed by.
Colour
can be used as a healing modality.
It is a truly holistic, non-invasive and powerful form of healing which dates back thousands of
years. Evidence of this can be found in ancient texts from India, China and
Egypt.
Colour should be a part of our everyday life, not just something
we experience in our class room.
Colour is all around us. This wonderful planet does not contain all the
beautiful colours of the rainbow without reason. Nature and its colours are not
simply here by chance, everything in nature is here for a purpose and colour is
no exception. All we need to
do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of colour, and it can transform
our lives.
Colours in our homes and workplaces:
Be aware of the desired effects required to suit your well being
and desired life style. The warm
colours, red, orange and yellow are warm alive colours with a focus on our
physical being. The blues,
greens and violets are cool, calming and create the illusion of space and
lightness.
·
Red is suitable for areas of physical activity, gyms, and play
areas.
·
Orange is great for entertainment, studies and communications as
orange accentuates an interest in associations and relationships. It activates the intellect enabling one
to focus and concentrate.
·
Yellow is lively but fresh and can be used anywhere in the
house. Great to use in study or
library as yellow will stimulate the intellect.
·
Green is a peaceful and serene colour, fantastic for rooms of
relaxation, rest or even a kitchen, as it will help with creativity and focus
in the preparation of food.
·
Blue creates tranquility. Ideal for bedrooms, and small rooms.
Light blue will create spaciousness and light.
·
Violet has the tendency to accept nothing at face value, and so it
is beneficial in libraries or study rooms. It helps with concentration and
focus. Also ideal for healing
rooms and meditations rooms.
What colours do we like to wear?
Have you noticed what colours you are drawn to buy or wear over
and over? These colours reflect our personalities. Subconsciously we reflect what we are feeling each day
by the colours we choose from our wardrobe. From now on, make a note on how you feel when
you wear particular colours.
Below is some insight as to what our clothing colours reflect from our
energy. You may consciously
wear what you wish to project or create for yourself.
RED: When we wear red, we project an
air of vitality, independence and individuality. It may also project aggression and dominance.
ORANGE: Wearing orange reflects a
happy, cheerful and conscientious image.
GREEN: Produces an image of stability,
balance and efficiency. It appears
calm, controlled and at peace.
BLUE: A tranquil colour that reflects
patience and understanding.
CREAM: Projects versatility. An open
minded person loves to wear cream.
GREY: Produces the image of judgement
and aloofness; it also can project a critical air about us.
GOLD: Is perceived as open,
approachable. It wears well with
black.
BLACK: Is a protective colour. It has
mystery attached. It isn’t good to always wear black, as it may cut you off
from communication and society, as it can be isolating.
WHITE: Is purity and openness. Great to wear with all colours as it
balances them.
Colours in what we eat in food:
By knowing more about colours,
you can consciously choose the foods that will activate, relax or stimulate
your energies in whatever way you wish.
If you know that you have a
physical day ahead, eat the warmer colours relative to the task. If you have
exams, or need to focus and concentrate, eat lots of yellow and blues.
Red foods will stimulate
the physical energies.
Orange foods will stimulate
the intellect, balance the emotions and activate physical energy.
Yellow foods induce aliveness
mentally and physically. They help us be more focused and relaxed.
