I am sure most of us have heard of color therapy. I totally
support the use of color therapy in our daily lives.
However, in my opinion, not all colors and its properties
have the same effect on every individual.
For example, we all know that "almonds" are very good for health...
however, tons of people are allergic to "nuts".
Again, meaning and properties of colors differ from culture to culture...
The color red is considered to bring good luck in the Chinese culture,
but in other cultures, the color red has different meaning: Danger, Passion, Anger, Confidence, etc
In my suggestion - when it comes to choosing which color works
best for you, don't go by the books. Use it as a guide line but trust your instincts.
Color guidelines:
Healing:
Light Blue
Growth:
Green
Wisdom:
Purple
Love:
Pink
Joy: Yellow
Confidence: Orange
Protection: Black
Creativity:
Turquoise
Purity:
White
When you look at a color, notice the first impression that comes to
mind...
If you are feeling down and being around nature (trees and plants)
uplifts your mood, then green is the healing color for you... whereas
for some people using green brings in prosperity and money :)
Bottom line, trust your instincts and you will do just fine!
