colour therapy

[rose]

hi lovely people

i found a great site to share on colour therapy. i discovered when i found my self wearing an orange top, making pumpkin soup LOL. i wondered why i was doing this so looked it up. i have been feeling anti social and have to face work today, i have no choice. plus my kidneys are aching and i'm so sluggish.

orange heals both these problems and i'm feeling better already!

i'd recommend trusting your intuition....what colours are you drawn to today? and then click on that colour on the site and see if it makes sense. :)

Colour Therapy has a strong relation with the Chakras, doesn't it?

If I recall correctly, each of the 7 Main Chakras vibrates at a different colour of the Rainbow, and each relates to an area of the mind/spirit as well as part of the endocrine (spelling?) system (7 main glands inside the body).

Colour Therapy uses these Rainbow colours to re-enforce the vibrations of the Chakras, depending on what area of your body/mind/spirit needs a boost.

(At least, this is just going from memory!)

oh...Rose, I really like the site! :D Thanks for sharing it with us.

[rose]

Light Mage...you're right. it mentions the affect on the chakras in this site also. are there any particular colours you guys are drawn to at the moment? i wonder if i'll be over orange tomorrow :D

This website may have some more specific information on Chakra-related colour therapy, too.

Speaking for myself, recently I seem to be more drawn to pale, earthy shades (currently colours such as pale greens, tan, and pale blue) and other pastel shades rather than the more bright, vibrant colours.

I wonder what that says about me...?

In my energy work and aura reading, I often tell people to wear colours that enhance what they want. So if you want money, wear a nice bright vivid green. If you want energy wear red - but not too much or it can bring out aggression!

Thanks for sharing this article, very interesting and will help me in my work.

Many blessings,

Sue x

interesting you said those colours Light Mage :) i've never been into pale blue until recently and now i love it. i adore apple green also.

that's why i found it so odd that i'd surrounded myself in orange LOL :D

thanks so much for those tips Sue :) i'll be wearing my green top more as i'm struggling to pay my bills at the moment!

love
rose

[psychic sue]

Me too! Green my fave colour at the moment!

[rose]

same! i love your line underneath by the way...we are slaves to cats! :D i've been wishing for more to come into my life...and his fluffy, ginger highness that lives next door has been gracing my home with his presence. of the liquid, yellow kind as well.

i had to tell you this sue. i wore my favourite green top today and walked to work listening to my green ipod. i got a small payrise and promotion at work today, my partner found out we don't have to pay nearly as much to get the car fixed, and i finally got an email about my tax refund being processed finally!

what a great day of green. thanks for your suggestion :) i had to laugh at these mini positive changes in my financial situation.

wear lots of green and best of luck!

Good obervation for all here and Yes color therapy is very powerful and does effect the chakras by balencing the light aspects and doing meditaitons with the light one can discover which chakras need more healing Light than others then a person can work further with guides for deeper healing

[Enlightener]

The colours of the chakra's are: Root chakra:Red, Sacral chakra: Orange, Solar plexus:Yellow, Heart chakra: Green, Throut chakra: Light Blue, Third Eye: Dark Blue with flashes of white, Crown chakra:Purple.

sometimes I imagine myself, when I am meditating, bathed in each of these colours in corresponding order to each chakra from root to crown.

Some people also say that Magenta can also resonate with the Heart chakra, too.

[Enlightener]

Really? I have never heard of that one before.

[rose]

i've heard this too light mage

thanks MG :) i found it helpful so wanted to pass it on.

Light Mage...you're right. it mentions the affect on the chakras in this site also. are there any particular colours you guys are drawn to at the moment? i wonder if i'll be over orange tomorrow :D

White? :wink:

[rose]

here's what that site says...

White

White (full color spectrum white color) contains the entire light spectrum. Thus it influences all systems of the body. This is the basis for light therapy. (Please refer to our section on light therapy for more details.)

White is strengthening. It is cleansing and purifying to the entire energy system. It promotes purity, virtue and spirituality.

White is nurturing; heals fevers, infections and pain; calms the heart, mind, nerves and emotions; and promotes vitality and supportive feelings.

White can awaken greater creativity. When in doubt as to what color to use, you can seldom go wrong with white.

It is beneficial to begin and end a color therapy session with white to stabilize the energy system of the individual and to give it an overall boost. It amplifies the effects of any other color used with it in a healing session.

Precautions

If used in excess, white light causes passivity, lethargy, hypersensitivity, and inhibitions.

Thanks for this extra information on the colour white, Rose. I already knew about a lot of the effects of the colour white but I did not know that it is thought to stabilize and boost the energy system of an individual after colour therapy.

Thanks, K.

Going back to the colour magenta, I recently wore it for a couple of days at the height of my heart-chakra opening. Then I read the following from the link that Rose posted, and thought how appropriate it was for that time:

Magenta
Magenta is the color of the highest order, connected with spirituality, meditation, and letting go. It is an agent for change, for the clearing out of old attitudes and obsessions, and for making a break with the past. Its complement is green.

Characteristics of Magenta
Magenta energizes the adrenal glands, the heart action and the reproduction system.

Magenta acts as a diuretic.

Magenta is good for the treatment of the auric bodies.

Magenta is a fine emotional stabilizer.


- It's not a colour I would normally wear, and this top was in the back of my wardrobe, but I had such a compulsion to put it on! :D

A book I've recently been reading has the following information on colours:


Turquoise Connected to the throat chakra, this is the colour of expressing what you truly feel; speaking your truth.

Gold Stellar gateway chakra - The energy of gold represents completion. We have made our journey and earned our place at the pinnacle. Our spiritual achievements, earned through many lifetimes, are recognised.

Magenta Soul star chakra - Magenta indicates an intense spiritual awareness, balanced by a conectedness to the ground. It is the colour of the divine feminine, earthly wisdom combined with spiritual knowledge.

White This is the colour of purity, connected to the causal chakra. It also stands for clarity and perfection. It represents illumination, brings the qualities of all-knowing and all-seeing and allows to open to a higher wisdom.

Violet The high spiritual frequency of violet indicates a devotion to spirit and is associated with the crown chakra.

Indigo Third eye - This deep blue holds the powers of mental healing and higher psychic development.

Green Heart chakra - The colour of nature, which represents balance and harmony.

Yellow Representing the solar plexus, this is the mind colour, which enables clarity of thought.

Orange A mixture of red & yellow, this colour indicates sociability & friendliness as well as emotional harmony. It is associated with the naval chakra.

Pink This is the colour of tenderness, which represents the spirit of sexuality - not the grosser feelings of desire or lust. It soothes and clams, encouraging feelings of love and nurturing. It takes the heat out of sexual encounters and returns the beauty and joy to the sexual expression of love. Associated with the sacral chakra.

Red Root chakra - This gives us the energy to get our survival needs met.

Black Earth star chakra. This colour represents revival and renewal, and holds the potential of what we can be. Black encourages us to be still, to wait with trust in that stillness for our rebirth. It is the place where all earthly new beginnings await us.
