Colors:  What do they mean?  What effects do they have on us?  What do they tell other people about us?

Colors are Universal, and throughout the ages, many different colors have been associated with different religious and spiritual meanings.  But one aspect of color holds true in every corner of the world.

The colors we chose are not arbitrary, but hold personal meaning for us.  We definitely have certain colors that "attract us” and other colors we cannot even stand to wear or have around us.

The colors we chose are deliberate, carefully selected, and have personal meaning to us as an expression of "who we are". The colors we chose, to decorate our homes, flourish in our gardens, and adorn our body and personal spaces have a lot to offer us in the way of personal insight about what is going on inside, our  innermost feelings and emotions.

Read about the meanings of colors, and look at your personal surrounds, your wardrobe, and your living spaces.  What is your primary color?  Your preferences?   What colors bother you?

Gemstones are a good way to add the properties of a color to your life. Worn close to the skin, in receptive areas (pulse points) - the wrist, earlobes, neckline, fingers and ankles...  benefit from the crystal vibrations and help to align the chakras with the properties it needs for each color.  Read the Color Meaning and find the colors you need to add to your life.

The most effective way to add the power of red or correct a balance in the 1st Chakra is thru adding natural red crystals and gemstones to your everyday wardrobe so they are close to you for several hours at a time and touching your skin, (the pulse points: ears, wrists, ankles, and neckline) and thus effecting your aura and Root Chakra.

This is much more effective than carrying stones in your purse or pocket, or placing them in your environment. For directhealing, the jewelry can be placed on the Chakra itself.

Have you ever wondered about colors? Do they have any significance? How do these colors affect me? Which color is right for me? What do they indicate about me? Colors have been around since forever. They are everywhere around us. Different colors are associated with different cultures. Same color has different significance in different religion. Colors are important to us as they have spiritual significance also.

Some colors attract us more than other colors, so we don’t just select them capriciously. Simultaneously there are colors that repel us. We don’t like to wear them and are unbearable when see them on somebody else also. Some colors have personal importance to us as they present our personality, our attitude to others.

Our selection of color is reflected by the clothes we wear, furniture of our home, jewelry we select, gifts we give, embellish our body, garnish our food. The simple choice we make about selecting color reflects our inner self and our feelings.

In coming editions we will give you detail about the colors, the meaning behind them, and the choice we have made. We will talk about the suitable color for you and also what is not so suitable. We will also talk about the seven main “Chakras”. We will talk about the association of Chakras with the colors. These colors do value addition to our life when we wear them in gemstones.

White light when passes through a prism converts into seven colors of spectrum. There are seven main energy centers (chakras) of the body. The seven colors of the Color Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body''s energy centers or chakras. Colors also help stimulation of our body''s own healing process. These chakras are like spirals source of energy related to each other. Color Therapy uses color to re-balance the Chakras, which are low on energy.

Colors not only have shown their affect on a physical level but also on the psychological and spiritual levels. Colors affect us mentally, emotionally and spiritually. If these chakras are blocked or are low on energy, this reduces the body functions and can cause physical issues like diseases.

Colors affect our feelings, our mental state and our body. Appropriate color can help dispel negative feelings, untangle blocks and help acquire balance of our body. While we all know about positive experience, we may not know that the negative feelings can manifest upon us physically over a period as disease. Inability to speak up our mind can become noticeable problem in throat chakra. This energy will encounter a bottleneck and will not flow as expected.

In our coming editions we’ll talk about different colors associated with energy centers of our body and how we can best use them. Stay tuned.

The most effective way to add the power of red or correct a balance in the 1st Chakra is thru adding natural red crystals and gemstones to your everyday wardrobe so they are close to you for several hours at a time and touching your skin, (the pulse points: ears, wrists, ankles, and neckline) and thus effecting your aura and Root Chakra.

This is much more effective than carrying stones in your purse or pocket, or placing them in your environment. For direct healing, the jewellery can be placed on the Root Chakra itself.
