Color Me WELL


http://feathertouchpathandpurpose.com/

I've got these way cool colored glasses—the kind you wear, not the kind you drink from……one for every color of the rainbow, and depending on what is going on with me any given day—or what I’d LIKE to be going on with me, that is the color I wear. 
Perfect example:  I’m wearing these blue glasses for a few minutes to expose my body to the color frequency needed to help me with communicating my thoughts to you. 
Blue is associated with personal expression, decisiveness, clear communication, confidence in speaking (or writing), and mental relaxation. 
If I had a sore throat, this is the color to wear.  Better yet, a turquoise necklace! 
Ok, I’ll  take them off now….  I’m comfortable talking to you, and feel confident that I am getting my point across. 
But let’s go through the entire spectrum, and at the same time we’ll have a crash course in chakras: For anyone not aware, chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning whirling vortices of light. 
Our chakras bring together the energy body and the physical body.  The human body contains seven major chakras, which correspond to the various aspects of our consciousness, each relating to a specific endocrine gland as well as to one of the seven colors of the rainbow spectrum. 
These energy vortices control our physical, emotional, and psychological life.  When each of them is in balance, our lives flow smoothly.  When any one of them is out of balance, the imbalance can show up as a physical symptom affecting a particular area of the body, or as an emotional or psychological symptom. 
At the first chakra, beginning with red-- keep in mind people in power choosing to wear red—
It is associated with vitality, self-confidence, feeling of security, safety, and power.  It’s  a sexy color, right?  It even raises blood pressure as well as body heat.  It is a strong and powerful color, creating a strong and powerful sense of self.  There is a reason that politicians often wear red ties. (Because they’d look silly in red suits ? :)
Orange at the second chakra—is associated with social confidence, joyfulness   enjoyable relationships, success, expanded interests and activities. 
It’s the birthing center—the place of new ideas.  Our sense of family.  Works great for menstrual cramps! 
Is anybody pregnant?  I’d love to know how it works on labor pains, but have been too afraid that if I suggested it to a woman in hard labor, she’d grab them from me and send them flying across the room without even trying them!
Yellow—I love yellow.  Right at the center….the solar plexus.  Solar--Sunshine, warmth.
Cheerfulness, mental clarity, stimulation of curiosity.  Easing depression, assisting with a greater sense of self-esteem, empowerment, confidence.
Living in Northeastern Ohio, we have our share of dark winters. (I thought I was going to go crazy this past winter, not to mention this morning’s stormy darkness.  I did mention it, didn’t I?  I do that all the time; I say “not to mention” and then mention…ah well….I digress)….. Anyway,  I remembered my yellow glasses.  Either one: orange or yellow.  If you think about it, the light coming through during the winter months  is the cool spectrum—mostly blue light.  We don’t see much of the warmer, golden tones during the winters here.
I am a Leo; I’m ruled by the sun.  I’m Italian; my ancestors are from the sunny Adriatic coast.  No matter how dark the days, I put the yellow glasses on, I’ve got my own personal sunshine.  It lets what yellow light there is, come through. 
I put the orange glasses on, I am immediately transported out of the snow and into the red sands of Sedona, Arizona.  I don’t even feel the cold.
Green—ahhhh…the heart chakra. The color of Life.  Of healing. Peace, love, harmony.  Rest, relaxation, calmness, stress reduction. 
We don’t realize just how green our world is until we look at it through the green spectrum.  Everything is neutralized, and after a short while, almost appears gray. 
The Creator really knew what he/she was doing by giving us this green world.  We are surrounded by love and life and all that we need for healing.  All we have to do is open our eyes and look at it.
Indigo—the third eye—serenity, stillness, understanding, imagination.  Greater intuition and awareness.  A great color to concentrate on when meditating…..
Prone to headaches?  Maybe a lovely pair of sapphire earrings is all you need. It certainly beats carrying around a tuning fork! J
The colors that we wear, that we surround ourselves with, in any form—clothing… gemstones….  Even the colors that we eat, affect us. 
The brighter the color, the more life-enhancing it is:  Think of the color of fresh fruits and vegetables.   Now, keeping that in mind, what is the color of cooked meat?  L
And finally purple-- associated with creativity, beauty, inspiration, selflessness, generosity, enhanced artistic ability. 
This color—at our crown chakra-- is our spiritual connection.  It is no mistake that the church chooses purple to represent the resurrection. 
My mother is an artist.  When she becomes stuck, she places an amethyst next to her on her art table. 
“Some” say it’s ludicrous to think color can affect us in these ways, but “some” aren’t very bright, are “some”?
All I’ve got to say is, the more I learn about energy and vibration, it all makes sense to me……
