The Magic of Color!

The Magic of Color

Stylists, decorators, and designers will all tell you how important color is in your life....whether it is your clothing, your walls, or your hair. Colors can change your mood, make you more or less productive, make you feel glamorous or girly  or change the energy of a room. Colors have a life and language of their own, and affect every nuance of our life. 

Colors are an amazing tool in depicting a person's personality and preferences. Just think, when you see someone in head-to-toe black, you think "Gothic", and a woman in a pastel pink suit looks soft and feminine. 

A kitchen with red walls is a great place to gather - it inspires energy and conversation. 

Hospitals often paint their waiting rooms a light blue or green, which promotes feelings of calm and healing.

Color is used metaphysically in many ways. Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a type of holistic medicine in which ailments are treated with the use of colors. It is a widely practiced branch of Ayurvedic medicine which has its origins dating back to the ancient times. 

Reiki practitioners and crystal healers use colored crystals and gemstones to balance the chakra centers of the body, which themselves correspond to a particular color. 

Many datebooks and planners used by metaphysical practitioners have a 'color of the day', which corresponds to the time of year and that day's important astrological events. 

Candle magic and other spell work relies heavily on the use of color to empower the ritual and its results. Whether you realize it or not, you even emanate color. 

Those who can see or read auras see people with an external cloud of color, and can read mental, emotional, and even physical health based on the colors present in that aura.

It is accepted scientific fact that each color is associated with vibrational frequency, and color can, in fact, be associated with a unique musical note.
