Healing Power of Colour Therapy
taken from Sufi-Master Khwaja Shamsuddin
Azeemi
Every person is under the influence of one colour or another, and s/he sees
life through the filter/glass of that colour. Yet, people don’t normally think
about colours. We are inspired by viewing pictures and paintings but don’t give
much attention toward the nature of colours.
If we become more aware of the reality that colours are actually important to
our lives and our perspective on life, then gradually the deeper mysteries of
our own selves will be revealed.
The colour we choose for our apparel and home are the result of our deep,
natural interest in those colours. The colours we use for our apparel create an
effect on our environment. We choose the colour of our clothes through inner
inspiration, which tells us which colour will be good for us.
It is possible that a colour we do not like at this point in time may look good
to us a year from now. This change indicates that the flow of colours/light in
our inner core has changed.
If we pay close attention to which colours are present in our environment, what
colour of clothes we normally wear, and the colour of our food, then we will
realize that ”Our life is nothing but colours.”
The light, heat, and colour of vibrant rainbow waves create effective vibration
on all living tissue. These frequencies create different effects on the
tissues. Therefore, with the help of colours, every disease inherited since the
beginning of mankind can be treated.
All colours discharge pulsing light waves, which create the feeling of either
cold or heat after colliding with an object. The wave length of the colour red
is the longest due to the slow wave frequency, and the wave length of the colour
purple is the shortest, due to the fast frequency.
Red creates the feeling of heat, while a sky blue colour creates the effect of
coldness. Green is the colour that creates balance. Blue creates the feeling of
spaciousness in the environment, while the density of red limits its frequency
and movement.
Different colours create different feelings and effects (e.g., burning and
itching by red, warming effect from orange, light warming from yellow, green
feels no warm no chill, and jujube affects cold with pinching feeling.) Colour
creates feelings
of byte, cut, hurt, crush or hit, or sting as well.
Through experience it has been seen that patients of stress
and sleeplessness are fast cured with purple, blue & turquoise blue colours.
Red, orange and yellow colours are invigorating and help combat laziness and
weakness. Colour Therapists beleive that putting patients in a pink colour
environment subdues the emotions of violence and revenge.
Pink acts as a tranquilizer for veins and muscles. The effects of pink are now
used to balance sex, family disputes, business matters, and jails. Through the
pink colour, anger is lowered. Under pink, muscles don’t experience stress and
tension. Even blind people feel relaxed in pink coloured rooms.
One day while doing pranayama and contemplating colours and their effect on the
body, I received intuition that sunlight includes all colours, and these colours
fulfill our nutritional requirements. If we store sunlight in our biological
system, then it can fulfill our nutritional requirements.
Following this inspiration I began to sit facing towards East before sunrise
and through breathing pointed my mind towards a specific aliment of my body and
imaginatively directed sun rays into my stomach.
As a result there was no need for food except for water and neither did I feel
any weakness. However while walking I felt much lighter and it was as if I was
walking in space, and solid walls looked like as if they were made of paper.
Sunlight has minerals and gases included in it, both of which are an important
component of human
food. Food gives us energy and strength. If we use food and light (combination
of colours) together it increases this energy two fold.
The best way to absorb colours is to use fruits and vegetables. The sunlight is
directly absorbed into fruits and vegetables.
However, we have to ensure a colour balance in our diet by not over-cooking or
deep frying our fruits and vegetables because nutrition value contained in the colours
is lost during this process.
Colour Therapy: RED
Red Rays are found in Iron, Zinc, Copper, Potassium, Oxygen, Beet, Radish,
Spinach, Red cherry & Red covered fruits.
In this colour the emotions of deep interest, will-power, and passion are
involved. During life crises when relationships come to an end and expectations
are broken and no opinion
or plan works, the colour Red becomes predominant in the core-center of mind.
When the mind is under the influence of Red, everything seems to be red.
The imbalance of Red in the red-colour center (the mind) is proof of abnormal
emotional attachments
or spoiled emotions.
People who posses the colour Red in balance help other people; these types of
people worry about Humanity and their race. They utilize all their abilities in
their favorite activities.
People under the influence of Red lead a good life. Since they cannot
control themselves regarding eating, drinking, and other matters, they are
often overweight.
We necessarily pass through an era of life when the colour Red is more
predominant than all the other colours. It is usually during adolescence that
the colour Red becomes very powerful. It is an interesting thing that in boxers
oxidized red colour is dominant.
A person with prevailing Red colour takes special care of his/her health.
Predominant Red colour people are also interested in bodybuilding.
This colour stimulates emotions, produces happiness, and is full of life. In
today’s lifestyle people mostly spend their time sitting in cars, in-front of
televisions, or in offices and don’t exercise.
The excess of Red causes a tendency towards a scattered-mind, anger,
peevishness, displeasure, and tyranny towards people.
The nature or temper of Red is warm. This colour has a more constructive
ability. This colour creates an impulse in blood: if red colour is displayed on
the back bone in anemia patients then the number of R.B.C (Red Blood Cells) is
increased.
If a part of the body is paralyzed, then emitting Red rays on that part
increases the flow of blood, and the nervous system becomes normal. If the same
rays are cast upon the navel and upper limb, then it creates stimulation in
stiff veins.
Redness in the yellow epicenter increases stomach pain. The increase of red in
the lower center of the throat is the cause of swelling tonsils and
scratchiness in the throat.
Colour Therapy:GREEN
Green colour exists in Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt, Platinum, Aluminum,
Chlorophyll, and several vegetables & green covered fruits.
Green is a Tranquilizing colour. Predominantly Green coloured people are full
of love, and the rays of love spread from them, which makes the
environment lighter. Other people are madly in love with Green coloured people.
People with prevalent green colour are often farmers and gardeners.
Because the Green colour is created with the combination of Yellow &
Sky-Blue colours, minds of people under the influence of Green colour
remain very active.
They listen attentively to other people’s opinions. People come to them in
large numbers to tell them their problems and ask for solutions. These
Men/Women love kids and animals and they are happy in their company.
The teachers of nursery classes have this colour in them in good quantity. Due
to the blending of Sky-Blue colour, these people have a special relationship
with water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
By temperament they are very balanced and don’t get angry very often, but due
to being soft-hearted they are often shocked and hurt quickly. They tend to
wear light-coloured clothes. Green coloured people are never satisfied with
their work. They like to explore new grounds and they are very determined.
If the Green colour becomes excessive in the Yellow center of the Stomach, then
not only these people not only become emotional but also become worried of
other people’s conditions. Such people are easily affected by every feeling of
life, and keep thinking
about past experiences, which can lead to stress on the stomach.
Deficiency of Green-ness in the core-center of the mind becomes the cause of
one-sided behaviors.
If Green becomes more deficient then normal in the throat, it creates harshness
in conversation,
and if it’s in excess of normal, the conversation becomes so soft that other
people use Green-centered people for their own purposes.
The colour Green is highly-effective for helping with the nervous system and
high blood pressure. This colour in itself contains the characteristics
of an elixir for healing wounds. It is the panacea for patients of ulcers. Most
of the Vegetables are Green coloured; if they are taken in any form, cooked or
un-cooked, the effects of the Green colour are inhaled into the body.
A combination of Green and Blue colours creates Turquoise-Blue; this colour
energizes skin tissues. This colour is the best cure for burnt skin from
sunlight and itching. It creates a tightness in wrinkled skin which defies age
and enhances the attractiveness.
Colour Therapy: YELLOW
According to chemical analysis, the colour Yellow is stored in Gold, Calcium,
Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Platinum, Sodium, Phosphorus, Carrots, Golden Grains,
Banana, Pineapple, Lemon, Grapefruit, & other Yellowish covered fruits.
Yellow is the colour of Research. Predominantly Yellow coloured people have a
keen interest in learning. Such Men/Women spend their life full of studies.
Scientists, politicians, and business people are mostly under the influence of
this colour.
People
whose core-center of mind has more density of Yellow colour then normal are
materialistic and they prefer their own benefit over that of others.
Any Yellow coloured person is successful in worldly matters because he knows
the art of making money and spending it in the right manner. Yellow is the
sunlight colour, people with the colour Yellow are active and adopt a good
lifestyle.
Yellow stimulates the mind. If you’re ever feeling anxiety, then the colour
Yellow will help. In a room where there’s no sunlight, Yellow creates a
pleasant effect on one’s mood.
In Colour Therapy,Yellow is used as an excellent cure for Stomach related
diseases as well. It improves digestive strength by releasing gases from the
stomach.
It is beneficial in diseases such as Hemorrhoids
(bleeding), Diabetes and diseases of Liver. This colour removes blemishes from
the body. Deficiency of Yellow becomes a cause of diseases and its excess is
one of the reasons for fever.
Colour Therapy: PURPLE
Purple colour contains equal quantities of Red & Blue colours.
Predominantly Purple coloured people are sensitive and express this sensitivity
in different ways. Purple is the colour of Artists and Painters. Until, and
unless, we have some quantity of purple in our selves we cannot sense beauty.
If the ratio of Red colour is higher in the Purple colour, the expression of it
will be seen as an inclination towards sex; however, if Blue colour’s ratio is
more, then situation will be opposite. Sometimes these people are lost in
themselves, which often happens with good artists.
There is more Spiritual potential in purple-coloured people. If their third eye
is opened, then they can see the Hidden (Ghayb). In these people the passion of
constructiveness is present at all times.
They think less for themselves and more for humanity and are always worried
that somehow humanity should benefit from their presence. They don’t want to
waste even five minutes of their lives.
Purple colour stimulates the spleen and improves repulsive strength of the
body. The colour purple helps to maintain Potassium and Sodium balances. Purple
colour controls unnecessary stimulation of all glands, including the Lymphatic
glands.
This colour is also useful in losing weight by controlling appetite. It reduces
extreme psychological stress. This colour is a great recipe for deep and
relaxed sleep.
The colour purple is also useful in the treatment of sexual diseases, urinary
infections, Gonorrhea, frequent urination, Diabetes, vaginal diseases,
Leucorrhoea, swelling of kidneys, and stones in the bladder.
Colour Therapy: SKY-BLUE
Sky blue colour exists in Aluminum, Cobalt, Zinc, Lead, & all Sky-Blue coloured
fruits & vegetables, like Grapes, Potato, Dried Plum, and Pear. It’s also
found in fish & chicken.
Sky-Blue is the symbol of One-ness with God; it is a spiritual colour. The
Sky-Blue colour in Aura indicates that this person is a master, that he or she
governs a relaxed temperament and is versed with spiritual know-how.
The deepness of the colour is relative to the level of spirituality, honesty,
insight, and sacredness.
Sky-Blue dominant people are God-fearing
servants of humanity, thinkers of the signs of God, and lovers of Prophets and
saints of God. The men/women of this colour believe in the thinking-approach of
prophets. They preach
equality, brotherhood, and keep away from dissension.
Sky Blue has more importance when
compared to the other colours. The temper/effect of this colour is cold. This
is the opposite of Red. This colour is very effective in treating Fever,
reducing Psychological
Stress, balancing a shooting pulse, and relaxing the mind.
Sky-Blue also helps to control high-blood pressure. Sky-Blue is
helpful in making nerves relaxed and reducing psychological and physical
tension.
In Colour Therapy Sky-Blue is used in treating diseases such as fever, Red
Fever, Typhoid, Bubonic Plague, Small pox, Epilepsy, Hysteria, heart
convulsion, high blood pressure, thrush, jaundice, Bile, eye diseases,
poisonous sting, itch, stomach ulcer, dental diseases, & sleeplessness.
Colour Therapy: BLUE
If there is some redness in Sky-Blue colour then it becomes Blue colour.
Predominantly Blue coloured people have an interest in the treatment of living
beings. Healers have often blue coloured auras.
They do not talk too much, but people in their company
acquire self awareness, as if these people are like mirrors in which people see
themselves. Such people are calm, silent, and soft humored. They posses a
quality that encourages people to feel relaxed in their company.
In Colour Therapy Blue is used for the treatment of blood
cleaning, swelling of eyes, a few ear's diseases (noise in ear, eruptions in
ear), nerve soreness, breathing infections/diseases, soreness of lungs &
nose, tonsils, & cough. Taken from: Healing Power of Colour Therapy taken from Sufi-Master Khwaja Shamsuddin

How Colours Affect Us
Colour is one of the languages of the soul, just look at inspired or meditative
paintings.
They influence our mood and emotions.
They have their impact on our sense of well-being or un-easiness.
Using and avoiding certain colours is a way of self-expression; it sheds light
on our personality.
Colours affect our way of perception (light colours make a space look big, a
high ceiling looks less high when painted in a dark colour, etc.)
Colours have a symbolic meaning which is immediately recognized by our subconsciousness.
It must be said that not all colours mean the same to all persons and all
cultures.
They influence the flow and amount of energy in our bodies.
Colours tell something about biological attraction and sexual interests.
Before examining colour and its healing implications, we must address a very
important concept: that of cause and effect. True healing comes about when the
cause of the condition or illness is addressed and transformed. If healing goes
no further than a mere relief or masking of the symptoms, then, eventually,
that which brought about the need for healing, in the first place, will
resurface and manifest itself within the body in one form or another.
Body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the
soul (subconscious) , and the spirit (superconscious) of the individual. Thus,
any healing technique which deals only with the physical body and the energy
field of the individual tends to accomplish one thing: it jump starts the
individual, so to speak, and gives him or her an added boost of energy. That
energy boost then allows that person's own internal healing mechanism to become
mobilized into greater activity.
Keeping this in mind, let us look at how colour can help jump-start the tired
or diseased body. Colour healing, known as Chromotherapy, can be implemented in
a number of ways. The ancients built great halls of colour healing, where
individuals entered and were bathed in light that was filtered through various coloured
glass panels or windows.
Energy (spiritual) healers often supplement their healing work with colour
healing. As they lay their hands on the patient, they mentally direct specific colour
rays into the patient's aura and body. Oftentimes, the colour used is inspired
by the superconscious.
In healing colours act as balancers: we administer the colour(s) someone needs
more of, or we give the opposite of the colour someone has too much of.
A
preference for certain colours can point at two things:
Self-expression (you choose the colours which match your personality; for
instance green for a lover of harmony and nature) completion (you choose the colours
you need more of; for instance an active, passionate person chooses blue colours
to cool down his nature). An aversion against certain colours gives information
as well.
Red
Red is stimulating and dominant. It can be extremely vitalizing and can assist
in overcoming inertia, depression, fear and melancholy. It is a great aid to
those who are afraid of life and feel like escaping. Red is power. It is the colour
of adrenalin, fire, zest and drive. It is physical energy. It is passionate and
exciting. Red supplies the energy and motivation necessary to reach goals. It
is a 'doing' colour which can actually activate activity and physical strength.
Red reduces the size of rooms and increases the size of objects. It is useful
as an accent colour. Red is not the best colour for a bedroom, you might find
it difficult to rest in this stimulating colour. However, you might find that
your desire for sensual excitement expands in a red bedroom. Red in a work room
or exercise room, or even a living room stimulates movement and activity. It is
not really suitable for dining rooms or children's bedrooms. If you are a
procrastinator or in a sluggish time in your life, paint a wall red (use a
crimson, scarlet or even a hot red or rust, rather than a dark maroon or muddy
red) and get ready to take off!
Healing properties: Brings warmth, energy and stimulation, therefore good for
energy, fatigue, colds, chilly and passive people. Red energizes heart and
blood circulation, it builds up the blood and heightens a low blood pressure.
Energizes all organs and the senses hearing, smell, taste, vision and touch.
Increases sexual desire and activity. Stimulates ovulation and menstruation.
Never treat cancer with red, because this colour will stimulate cell growth!
Red links with and stimulates the root energy center, at the base of the spine,
causing the adrenal glands to release adrenalin. This results in greater strength.
Red causes hemoglobin to multiply, thus increasing energy and raising body
temperature. It is excellent for anemia and blood-related conditions. It
loosens, opens up clogs, releases stiffness and constrictions. It is excellent
for areas that have become stiffened or constricted.
Esoteric/magickal: Deities of love, passion, sexuality and war (to stimulate a
healthy portion of assertiveness). Great energy, courage, will-power,
determination, speed, assertiveness, aggression, masculinity, independence,
physical strength, sports, competition, conflicts, health, sexual attraction
and potency, love and passion, fertility.
Preference for red: Red is associated with passionate love, sex, great energy,
impulse, action and stimulation, assertiveness and aggression, courage,
strength and power, adventure, danger, warnings, revolt and revolution.
Temperamental and ambitious people with a need for personal freedom.
Aversion to red: A person who has an aversion to red may be over-active, too
impulsive, hot-tempered, aggressive and egocentric, or have difficulties with

good in any room where you will be having group gatherings or where people will
gather to have fun and socialise. Introduce a warm pumpkin orange feature into
a room where projects are being done. Use in living and dining rooms and
hallways but not in small rooms or bedrooms.
Healing properties: Orange is warm, cheering, non-constricting. Orange has a
freeing action upon the body and mind, relieving repressions. Orange shows new
possibilities and other options in life. Stimulates creative thinking and
enthusiasm, and helps assimilate new ideas.It is also helpful in dealing with
excess sexual expression.
Orange stimulates the lungs, the respiration and the digestion. Increases the
activity of the thyroid. Reliefs muscle cramps and spasms. Increases the amount
of mother milk.
Esoteric/magickal: Deities of good luck and fortune. Attraction, charm,
kindness, encouragement, stimulation, optimism, success, abundance, prosperity,
feast and celebration, energy, achieving business-goals, investments, success
in legal matters.
Preference for orange: Orange represents the warmth of the fire. It brings even
more energy than yellow, celebration and great abundance, comfort, enjoyment of
the senses. Warm, sociable, dynamic and independent people who dedicate
themselves to whatever they do.
Aversion to orange: A person who has an aversion to orange may have suppressed
sexual feelings or other difficulties with sensual enjoyment of life. The
attitude can also be over-sensual, indulgent, or too materialistic.
Yellow
Yellow is associated with enlightenment and intellect, it stimulates the brain
and aids digestion. It's positive qualities are optimism, reason, organization,
academic achievement, decisiveness, praise, sincerity and harmony. Its negative
are craftiness, exaggeration and rigidity. thus yellow gives heightened
expression and freedom. It is good for concentration and clarity of thought. it
is a colour that stimulates flexibility and adaptability. It is also associated
with good luck!
Yellow is an excellent colour to use in a home office. It is good to use in any
room where you want to feel mentally uplifted and wish to stimulate
conversation. Yellow kitchens tend to be gathering places for family and
friends. Yellow is also a good colour to use in a room where you do counselling
in your home. It gets people talking and also generates a feeling of upliftment
and optimism. Suitable for hallways and kitchens, but not for meditation rooms
or bathrooms.

up the digestion and assimilation, and the stool.

disappointed and bitter.May have tendency to rationalize feelings, or to avoid
the depth of life by often changing relationships, many superficial
relationships and/or constant changing activities.
Green
Green symbolizes growth, fertility and harmony; it is restful and refreshing.
Green stimulates feelings of balance, freedom, harmony, hope, growth and
healing. It is found everywhere in nature, symbolizing the replenishing forces
of the universe. Green reminds us that there will always be enough. Often in
hospitals the medical professionals wear green. Its negatives are envy and
deceit.
This is a good colour in any room. It is restful and energizing. I like to have
some green in the bathroom - green towels or green plants, or even green trim
or a wall. The bathroom is a room of symbolic purification and renewal so green
is perfect for this room. To uplift a room introduce a bright spring green or a
clear, clean leaf-green touch rather than a khaki or muddy green. Green is
usually best in in therapy rooms, conservatories and bathrooms but not in
family rooms, playrooms or studies.
Healing properties: Green is the colour of Nature and the earth. It is balance
and harmony in essence and possesses a soothing influence upon both mind and
body. It is neither relaxing nor astringent in its impact.Green can be used for
just about any condition in need of healing.

calmness and harmony. Interest in nature, plants, fellowmen, children and
animals, health and healing, natural and plain life. Longing for a safe home
and family-life. A dislike of conflicts.
Aversion to green: A person who has an aversion to green may be more interested
in independence and self-development than in a warm family-life. May prefer to
keep a certain distance in (sexual) relationships.
Blue
Blue is peaceful and soothing and linked with spirituality, contemplation,
mystery and patience. It stimulates you to seek inner truth. Blue helps you to
attain inner peace and to live out your ideals. It allows for gentleness,
contentment and composure. Its positive associations are trust, faithfulness
and stability. Negatives are suspicion and melancholia. Blue has also been used
for pain reduction.
A warm, light blue bedroom is good for relaxing a hyperactive child. Blue can
be used in meditation rooms, bedrooms, therapy rooms and as a means of
enlarging spaces. Not really suitable for family rooms, dining rooms and
studies. If you suffer from a feeling of melancholy then maybe you have too
much blue in your living space.
Healing properties: Blue is cooling, electric, astringent. Dr. Edwin Babbitt,
in his classic, "The Principles of Light and Colour," states that
"The Blue Ray is one of the greatest antiseptics in the world."
Cools down inflammations (don't forget rheumatic inflammations), fever, high
blood pressure, stops bleedings, reliefs the bursting headaches, calms strong
emotions like anger, aggression or hysteria. Brings tranquility. Anti-itching.

suffering.
Blue can be used for any type of ailments associated with speech,
communication, or the throat. Excellent forlaryngitis or inflammation of the

Blue links with and stimulates the throat energy center. The throat energy center is often
referenced as the "power center" and "the greatest center in the
body" because it is the primary center of expression and communication,
through speech.
Esoteric/magickal: Elemental water and elemental air. Deities of the sea, truth
and wisdom. Peace and tranquility, calmness, truth, wisdom, justice, counsel,
guidance, understanding, patience, loyalty and honor, sincerity, devotion,
healing, femininity, prophetic dreams, protection during sleep, astral
projection.
Preference for blue: Cool and soothing, dreamy and magical. Peace and rest. For
people who keep a certain distance, but give calm and practical help; they are
faithful and loyal, have a sense for order, logic and rational thinking. Flying
in day-dreaming, ideals or nostalgia when felt mis-understood. Dark blue is
more severe and can be melancholic. Blue is also the colour of truth.

restriction. He may have charted out a clear direction for his life and wants
to follow that lacelike .

benefits mental problems. It is a freeing and purifying agent.
Indigo combines the deep blue of devotion with a trace of stabilizing and
objective red. Indigo is cool, electric, and astringent.
Indigo links with and stimulates the brow energy center (third eye) and controls the
pineal gland. It governs both physical and spiritual perception.It can be of
great assistance in dealing with ailments of the eyes and ears.
Violet / Purple
Purple encourages vitality and is impressive, dignified and spiritual. Positive
associations are excitiement, passion and motivation. Negatives are
mournfulness and force. When a person chooses purple as a favourite colour,
they are usually abstract, inspired and able to tune into the inner world.
Purple stimulates our spiritual perspective and intuition.
Purple is such a powerful colour that I suggest using it as an accent colour
rather than in large amounts. It can be diluted with white to make a soft shade
of lavender or lilac - this is excellent for a meditation room or a room where
you want to feel healed, particularly spiritual healing. Splashes of gold or
yellow is a good balance to purple. Suitable for bedrooms but not bathrooms or
kitchens. Use in bedrooms and meditation rooms but not in bathrooms or
kitchens.
Healing properties: These are colours of transformation.They heal melancholy,
hysteria, delusions and alcohol addiction and bring spiritual insights and
renewal. These colours slow down an over-active heart; stimulate the spleen and
the white blood cells (immunity). Bring sleep. Soothe mental and emotional
stress. Decrease sexual activity. Decrease sensitivity to pain. They help in
detoxification.
Leonardo da Vinci proclaimed that you can increase the power of meditation
ten-fold by meditating under the gentle rays of Violet, as found in Church
windows.
Esoteric/magickal: Elemental spirit. Divination and prophecy. Angels. Psychic
abilities, divination, counter-acting negativity/black magick, reversing
curses, psychic healing, psychic power, inspiration, meditation, spirituality,
spiritual power, astral projection, third eye, compassion, counter-acting
depression.
Preference for violet/purple: Colours for meditation, contemplation, mysticism,
spirituality and religion power. A longing to ascend and dissolve polarities
(purple consists of the active red and passive blue), to improve the world.
Reservation, mystery and dignity. Soft, sensitive people with often paranormal
abilities.
Aversion to violet / purple:A person who has an aversion for violet / purple
may have very serious attitude towards life; and may find it difficult to give
dreams, fantasies, vague fears or memories a place in it. May have tendency to
rejection everything he regards as unnatural or unrealistic.
White
White on the feng shui colour chart symbolizes new beginnings, purity and
innocence. Its positive qualities are cleanliness and freshness, its negatives
cold, lifelessness and starkness.
White can be used successfully in any room in the house. However, an all-white
room might feel too sterile - it may not seem friendly and inviting. This can
be a great healing colour for all rooms as its energy is transformation. You must
decide what your needs are and honor those feelings when deciding what colours
you want around you. Use for bathrooms and kitchens but not suitable for
children's rooms and dining rooms.
Healing properties: White is the perfect colour; for it is all colours, in
perfect balance and harmony. It is the colour of the awakened Spirit; the light
of perfection; the light of the Cosmic Consciousness,the Divine Light.
Just about everyone has heard of surrounding people with the "White Light
of Healing and Protection." White light raises the vibration of one's
consciousness and the body, bringing harmony in all aspects of one's life.
Directing white into to a part of the body that needs healing is one of the
fastest ways to bring about healing.
Esoteric/magickal: Purification and cleaning on all levels, contact with higher
self and spiritual helpers, (inner) peace, aura-healing, truth seeking,
consecration, spiritual enlightenment, protection against negativity by raising
your vibration, breaking curses, exorcism, meditation, divination, inspiration,
clairvoyance, invoking spirits White can be a replacement for any other colour
your magick requires.
Preference for white: White points at innocence, purity, virginity,
cleanliness, freshness, simplicity, nothingness, oneness and completion, truth.
In certain cultures white is the colour of death and mourning.
Aversion to white: A person who has an aversion to white colour isforemost or
solely interested in 'realistic' and tangible things, not in illusions or
things that are beyond seeing or understanding. Knows and accepts the own
imperfection and does not wish to achieve perfection.
Magenta
Healing properties: Strengthens contact with your life purpose. Stimulates
adrenalineand heart activity.
Esoteric/magickal: Scorpio-energy. Magnetism, to attract or speed up things,
extra power, when immediate action and great spiritual power are needed, life
purpose, life path.
Preference for magenta: Much energy and activity focused on achieving power and
self-realization. Strong but controlled passions and emotions. Daring, ready to
fight, willing to give everything for a goal. Can drive things too far and have
fixed ideas.
Aversion to magenta:A person who has an aversion to magenta may feel
overwhelmed by people with strong convictions or heavy emotions like jealousy;
also may have difficulties with exposing deep emotions.
Pink
Pink
