Healing Colors: A Daily Healing Tool

By Linda Kleida Romera





By nature, we are attracted to colors. Colors are part of what makes life bright and vibrant.



Ask your Self:



Have you ever noticed how your mood affects your choice of color in clothing? Do you feel attracted to any specific color(s)? What colors are you wearing today and why?



It's amazing how the most obvious things around us can be unconsciously ignored, their true power becoming lost in the process.



Colors and healing



Each color is unique and has a different effect on each individual person, through past experiences and memories. This is a general outline of how colors can be used:



White



White contains all the colors. This color gives calmness, purity of thought, removes negative tendencies, bringing clarity.



Violet



This color is a gateway to the Higher realms. It calms the body and mind, beneficial to use with meditation and praying. Use this color to enhance your awareness of Self and your surroundings. This is also the perfect color in moments where there is a need for reflection.



Indigo



This color awakens our intuition and sixth sense, the knowing feeling inside. This color can be used to tap into our Self and connect it to the Higher mind of divine knowledge.



Blue



Blue is very calming, relaxing and healing. This color is connected with clear communication and for verbally connecting our Self to the outside world.



Green



The color of love, balance and harmony. This is color can be used for moments where there needs to be calm in tense situations or after arguments. It brings understanding and tolerance.



Yellow



Use this color for enhancing your confidence, alertness, vibrant emotions and mental activity. This color can be used for studying as it increases concentration too.



Orange



A wonderfully warm color, with an energizing effect. Use this color to enhance your creativity, fun and sociability.



Red



Energizing, exciting the emotions, stimulates appetite and enhances passion for life.



Black



Black has a powerful effect of taking us within, used for moments of reflection and inner reasoning. When combined with another color, it gives strength to the next color. Use this color to work with other colors and to discover your Self with more depth.



Pink



A nurturing and soothing color, giving off a warm and gentle glow. Use this to dissolve negative emotions such as anger or frustration. The color of unconditional love.



Self discovery meditation – what does each color mean to you?



Meditation can be used to bring awareness to your own feeling and emotions that are associated with colors around you. This is very simple to do and won't take long:



Sit or lie in a comfortable position, where you won't be disturbed. Pick any three colors that come into your mind. With each color, take a moment to simply imagine that this color is who you are. What does this feel like? Release the need to control your thoughts and simply let your thoughts stay focused on the color and what comes after it. Do you feel positive or negative? What images do you see that are connected to this color? Do you have any memories of this color from past experiences or events? Have you used this color recently as clothing or anything else? Relax into the color and take mental notes as you come across points. Spend at least 5 minutes or more with each color.



With the knowledge you gain from this meditation, you can connect each color into your life and use it to empower you.



A daily meditation with color

This meditation can be done everyday:



Each day, choose the color which is making you feel good and positive. Sit or lie in a comfortable position and focus on your heart beat. Do this until you are settled and ready to move to the next stage, there is no rush. The next step is to bring focus to the color you have chosen and imagine that this color is streaming through your spine, from bottom to top. Allow this river of color to continue to stream through in an upward direction, eroding any negative points that it may encounter. Take your time with this step until you are feeling empowered by your chosen color. The last step is to release this flow of energy into the universe, feel it expanding out of you in all directions, glowing in your chosen color. Enjoy this feeling for as long as you like! Finish the meditation by thanking your Self and the Universe.



During the time after your meditation, observe how this meditation effects your day, your moods and the people around you. Do you notice any changes?



Cleanse your environment with color



Your daily environment has immense power and energy, interacting with your own energy system and playing part of your overall health. Here are some simple techniques you can use to bring healing color into your environment.



For protection and inner strength – In times of new situations, where you might be feeling vulnerable, less confident or in need of protection from negativity, this is a wonderful and simple method to keep you from feeling drained:



Imagine that there is a golden ball in your chest area that is rotating and reflecting off yellow beams into your environment. Relax and focus on your breathing as you imagine this. Stay in this meditation for as long as you need until you feel energized or ready to face the situation.



To promote love and affection in your environment – A quick and easy way to promote love, understanding and connection is through the following visualization that can be done at anytime:



Simply infuse your energy field with the color pink by visualizing that you are in a bubble of this color. Take a few deep breaths and relax into this bubble.



This is a brilliant way to quickly direct your energy in a positive way. As well as being relaxing, it will give off a positive warm vibe and frame of mind.



At home – As you begin to learn how color works in your life, you can then bring this into your home environment, your sacred place of rest. Through lighting, materials, paint and decoration, surround your Self with vibrant colors that work for you.



The process of experimenting and learning through colors is a valuable tool - use your imagination to find new ways to in cooperate it into your life. Most importantly, have fun!
