Color your world with Color Therapy

Color your world


When you want to change your inner landscape, color therapy can help you color your world more to your liking!
What color are you today? Are you feeling blue, or in the pink? A little green with envy perhaps? The fact that color is such an integral part of our language reflects the powerful impact it has on us.
The colors we surround ourselves with affect and reflect our health and emotions, as well the image we project to others. Our eyes can distinguish approximately 1,000 distinct colors and over 2,000 shades and tints; we respond to them instinctively, feeling drawn to the ones that make us feel good.
Civilizations as early as the ancient Egyptians realized that color has powerful energies, and used color therapy to help restore physical, mental and spiritual well being.
Modern science has established that our bodies need a daily minimum of 15 minutes exposure to full-spectrum light (white light or sunlight) to maintain health and prevent symptoms similar to jet-lag.
Color rays are made up of varying light and energy frequencies, and each band has a different healing quality. Red, at one end of the spectrum, has a long wavelength, a slow vibration, and a stimulating action whereas violet, at the other, has a short wavelength, vibrates quickly, and has a calming action.
All colors have both positive and negative aspects; too much or too little can cause imbalance in the system. A color therapy practitioner may suggest that you eat more of a certain color of food, change a decorating scheme to incorporate a specific shade, or add certain colors to your wardrobe. They may also suggest different ways of treating any color deficiencies. In color therapy, colors can be applied to the body physically, through exposure to light rays, or mentally, through visualization or meditation.
With color therapy, your colors can through meditation and creative visualization as you are led on an imaginary journey full of color to balance your chakras.
Once you become familiar with the the energies associated with different colors you can let your intuition be your guide. A quick wardrobe check will reveal a preference for a particular color; preferences or strong aversions to a shade is a sign your body needs that particular wave length.
What Different colors Represent
The color waves we draw to ourselves radiate out to everyone we come in contact with, enabling us to have a positive impact on the world simply by harmonizing our colors. Each color in the spectrum represents an emotional state, and can be used to treat different conditions:
Red represents passion and energy, and is a strong stimulant.
Very little is used in color healing because it can cause inflammation and over-excitability, though small amounts can be helpful in treating anemia and depression.
Orange has a freeing action on the body, and is frequently used in color healing because of the energy and the wisdom it imparts. Orange is also useful in promoting self-confidence, and healing nervous complaints.
Yellow, the color of joy and happiness, has a cleansing and purifying effect on the body. It also stimulates sluggish digestion and enhances concentration.
Green combines the wisdom of yellow with the truth of blue. It acts as a harmonizer, is beneficial for nervous complaints, and imparts peace of mind and clear memory.
Blue is soothing and promotes healing. It reduces fevers and blood pressure, acts as an antiseptic and pain-killer, and encourages acceptance of things that cannot be changed, bringing peace of mind.
Indigo is a purifying color that calms the mind. It’s used to enhance psychic development, and is helpful in treating migraine and other painful conditions.
Violet helps treat all nervous and mental disturbances and is beneficial for lung disorders. So you can see how important color is to our health, and how it can be used to keep our chakras clear and balanced.

Wellness Tips From Your Body to You

by | Mar 18, 2019 | Healing Arts, Law of Attraction, Spiritual Healing

Wellness Tips
One of the most important wellness tips you’ll ever receive is this: you can improve your health and well-being naturally, simply by listening to your body!
Your body will tell you where you have blocked energy. For example, headaches are thought to indicate two conflicting internal feelings. They can be eliminated by allowing both to have a voice.
Catching a cold, flu or other virus indicates your body needs a rest, an opportunity to get back into balance. When was the last time you took time out to play? If you don’t rest when you need to, your body will send stronger and stronger messages until you do – so why push yourself. Give yourself the break you need and you’ll be much more productive!
Complexion problems could indicate you’re holding back your male energy (whether you are male or female). Wellness tips:  take action or express yourself more clearly. If a skin rash erupts, it indicates you’re itching to do something. Wellness tips: ask yourself what, and follow your intuition.
Allergies indicate a lack of trust in your intuition and repressed feelings, such as sorrow or anger, and can be eased by expressing those feelings. If your allergy symptoms include watery eyes, it indicates you are suppressing sorrow.
Back pain stems from the feeling that you have to support others, and feel the need to express your feelings. Low back pain often indicates suppressed sorrow or financial fears, while upper back pain often represents suppressed anger.
Menstrual cramps indicate you haven’t been listening to your inner female. Wellness tips — spend some quality time with yourself, turn your attention within and honor your emotions.
Though some of these wellness tips may strike you as strange, they’re amazingly effective. But don’t take my word for it – try them yourself and see! Listen to your body with your inner knowing, and try to really hear what it has to tell you.
 
 
 

How Crystals Form

by | Jan 26, 2019 | Healing Arts, Healing Crystals

Crystal TherapyEver wonder how crystals form? Let’s take an imaginary journey to the center of the earth and find out!
Different types of crystals are created in different ways, but almost all crystals form by new matter being added to a mass of crystal that’s already growing.
Some, such as quartz minerals, begin their life in the fiery gasses found in the center of the earth (magma) or in volcanic lava that’s streamed up to the earth’s surface.

As it cools and hardens these magmatic, or igneous, crystals are formed. This can happen quite quickly, resulting in small crystals, or take eons, allowing large crystals to form. (more…)
