Choose Colour to Create your Life

Choose colour to create your life

When you are aware of the benefits of different colours you can use them to your advantage in daily life.

How we see colour

Light travels in varying wavelengths and frequencies, light receptors in the human eye transmit messages to the brain to translate light into colour. To see colour you must have light, when light shines on an object some colours bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes only see the colours that are bounced off or reflected. Some colours are the result of our eyes' mixing wavelengths of light. White is what we see when all wavelengths of light are reflected off an object, while pink is a mix of the red and violet wavelengths.

Why it’s important to choose colour

Colour can have an effect on the body physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Colours create an electrical impulse in our brain, which stimulates hormonal and biochemical processes in our body, these processes either stimulate or calm us. Colour can make us feel happy or sad, change our heart rate or blood pressure, and influence our decisions. Colour is being used by the media, marketing, hospitals, retail centres and more, all around us to create a desired outcome. You can use colour to create your life.

How to use colour

One of the easiest ways to use colour on a daily basis is to choose your clothing colour based on the day you want to have. Red for stimulating, green for calming, yellow for action, orange for courage. Colour in your environment both home and work can be tailored to your needs. Use the associated colour to energise and balance chakras. Eat a variety of coloured foods for a balanced diet. Energy healing uses colour to release emotions, heal, balance and calm the body and mind.
