How blessed we are to live in such a magical world, overflowing with vibrant and dazzling colours, sounds, smells and beauty. All around us flowers and trees emit vibrations, each uniquely different in colour, aroma and healing properties. Nature is a spectacle of amazing colours and smells, and yet we often get so caught up in our fast-paced existence that we forget to tap into this divine and mystical realm of healing colours sitting right before our eyes!
Colour can be described as light – visible radiant life-enhancing energy of certain wavelengths. Photoreceptors in the retina, called cones, translate this energy into colours. The retina contains three kinds of cones, one for blue, one for green and one for red. We perceive other colours and tones by combining these colours.
Colour has an amazing ability to alter our moods, health, thought patterns and spiritual well-being in a subtle, yet transformative way. It is believed that when the energy of colour enters our body, it stimulates two of our major glands, the pituitary and pineal glands. This in turn affects the production of various hormones, which in turn affects a variety of physiological and metabolic processes. It is no wonder certain colours have such an effect on our moods, thoughts and behaviour.
Colour is such a powerful healer and we are all intuitively attuned to this, even if we don’t consciously think we are, as our whole world is coloured. Each colour, in its original essence, has the ability to conjure up a different emotion, feeling, thought and healing vibration. We all have the ability to react to colours in different ways and all possess different preferences for colours. This preference may be due to either cultural, psychological or intuitive selection as to which colour is best suited to our needs.
For instance, we all know how sedating and calming blues are when we look at the expansive sky or endless ocean. Or how uplifting are the sun’s golden rays, penetrating our aura on a beautiful clear day. Allow your own intuition to guide you, experiment with different colours and become aware of how each one makes you feel. God’s spectrum of healing colours is available to us every day, allowing us to tap into the immense healing power.
