Colour
is powerful, whether we are eating it, wearing it or looking at it!
Colour is a living energy whose power affects us on
all levels. We are all beings of light, therefore light is essential for our
well-being. Light is colour and colour is energy and not only is it everywhere
but all around you.
It can be used to bring balance and harmony within
the psyche and the body, it influences our moods, and it affects our homes, our
workplace, our schools, our hospitals, and our very existence. No matter what
our focus, colour is a part of it.
When we study the origins of art, science and
healing, we can see the influence colour has played as far back as ancient times,
the influence was strongly felt in ancient civilisation, but slowly disappeared
and was lacking for many centuries.
As you become more aware of colour, you can choose colours
effectively in your daily life (in your clothes, gardens, environment and your
car) to keep you balance. Colour can play an important role in your personal
growth. The colour system Aura Soma is a tool you can use to assist with your
personal growth.
It is also known that certain colours can affect
certain diseases, build new tissues, burn out (cellular) corruption, cure
certain nervous troubles and eradicate certain nervous tendencies. We see this
in our hospitals where we use blue light on newborn babies with jaundice. We also know that some prisons use pink rooms to
calm the more violent criminal as this colour depletes energy and many police
stations use blue rooms for their interrogations, as the suspect is more apt to
tell the truth in a blue room.
By becoming aware of the power of colour and its
effects on us, we can learn to make positive changes in our lives.
The primary colours of red, blue and yellow, from
which all colours of the spectrum are formed, are reflected in plants, trees,
flowers, rocks and crystals.
Each colour serves a unique purpose in our lives.
Purple calms the consciousness and allow us to get in touch with our deeper
thoughts. Blue is the colour of peace and communication. This is why some
hospitals have painted their walls blue. It was found that it does aid to the
healing process. Green is also for
peace, but more importantly for the balance of the heart. Yellow is the colour of the digestive juices,
as well as the colour of the intellect. Orange is a warmer colour used to help
restore and balance ourselves; it is associated with reproductive system.
Lastly red is the closest to the ground for us; it represents our gross energy
or physical movements.
No matter how we use colour in our lives to express
ourselves – be it thru clothing, furnishing, flowers, crystals or oils, eating
- the colours we choose will have positive and negative qualities. Understanding the power behind colour simply
allow us to make better choices, to add the quality of colour to our daily life
that will help us achieve what we want to project.
Colour also has an important place in food; both to
please the eye and stimulate digestive juices. It also can be used to bring
about an improvement in our health.
As a healing tool, colour is used by colour
practitioners who work with coloured lights, healers work with crystals and
colour on the chakra system to rebalance the body’s energies. Aroma therapist
will select and use the essential oils they feel are most appropriate and
massage them into the body. However Aura-Soma practitioners ask the client to
select from the whole range of coloured ‘Balance’ oils to bring the body, mind,
and spirit back to a state of harmony.
Colour therapy is an enjoyable, low-risk form of
complementary and alternative medicine. Its benefits are sometimes remarkably
obvious: we feel calmed by our favourite cool colours and stimulated by bright,
warm hues. The colours you surround yourself with will affect you deeply.
Applying the carefully considered principles and psychology of Colour Therapy
to your home or can benefit you and your loved ones in the long-term.
