Want to learn awesome ways to use colors that heal, calm,
energize, and empower you?
Specific
colors have vibrational properties that speed up, balance, or calm down thinking,
behavior, and even emotions.
BLUE
Envision or wear clothes that are a shade of medium blue. Blue is a stress buster and its color energy soothes you, when you're physically, mentally, or emotionally depleted.
Gazing softly at a blue object calms agitated or chaotic states of mind. That explains why many operating rooms in hospitals are painted blue and the staff wears scrubs of hospital blue.
Sea blues of azure and sapphire suggest “going with the flow” as the river, stream, or ocean does.
Want to reduce over-thinking? Think blue and find peace.
Blue is the color of the throat chakra and center for the spoken word (sky blue). The throat is the passageway by which we express feelings through communication.
Meditating on a blue image before we express ourselves, helps us speak effectively and honestly.
Pale blue sheets or blue accent pieces in a bedroom encourages sleep. Blue wall coverings, blankets, or pillows makes the room appear cooler and larger than it actually is.
At the cellular level, blue comforts us emotionally, and helps us detach from things that are beyond our control.
GREEN
Bright green has been adopted by environmentalists to symbolize the planet’s essential need to protect, recycle, grow, and reuse (transform) natural resources.
Forest green/dark green is often associated with money, prosperity, and ambition. This shade of green works to help us concentrate and suggests prestige, power, and substance.
Green energy often suggests growth, change, and nature.
Take a cue from nature, and visualize the most serene green place you've ever seen. Imagine yourself walking there and travel back to this vision any time you want to feel more tranquil.
Use your imagination to picture a lush green field, and focus on being present in this scene. Then notice whether your mind and/or body feels more at ease.

YELLOW
Yellow is high up in the list of healing colors. Gazing at daffodils or
wearing a yellow tee can stimulate intelligence and also detoxify the body and
mind.
Yellow is particularly helpful with skin problems. Avoid overuse of
yellow, as it can hamper digestive health or lead to stomach problems and
insomnia.
The most radiant of all the colors in the visible light spectrum, yellow signals caution. It is used for traffic lights and warning signs all over the world.
When we need nourishment, use the power of yellow energy and munch on yellow fruits and veggies including grapefruit, sweet potatoes, yellow summer squash, and pears. The nutrients in these foods draws on sun energy, and creates clear thinking and liveliness.
