You Are The Colors You Choose - Page 2

Illness of some kind can be indicated when a color that is out of character is worn frequently. If the red range of colors is worn regularly, it could point to a physical condition, the color blue an emotional imbalance, and yellow a nervous state.

Dis-ease means that we are out of balance. Color can help to re-balance and make us whole again. Red colors are good for improving circulation and orange has been found to be beneficial for children with autism. The color green is useful for calming and balancing the heart and is supposed to influence regeneration of cells and elimination of toxins. This is the basis of Color Therapy.

Color healing was used in the temples of Heliopolis in Ancient Egypt, as well as in China and India. Hippocrates, the founder of modern day medicine, placed colored strips on cuts to aid in the healing process.

The Gray Areas
Black is a popular non-color, often worn to suppress and protect the emotions. Any color worn with it is a paradox since it represents unrealized potential. The promise of power that black evokes lies within the consciousness of the wearer. Combined with another color, it augers control over its influence. With red colors it controls physical power and yellow colors intellectual power.

White on the other hand highlights a color. Worn alone, white symbolizes a clean palate, completion, purity, cleansing, and strength. The challenges of white are those that accompany a new start, anger, vulnerability, and tears. Gray is the combination of black and white and symbolizes the diversity of the two, creating a state of caution.

Combining Colors
When colors are combined, each influence reflects off the other. Wearing green with the color red puts a different slant on the meanings. As green means stop and red means go, these colors together can signify a difficult decision, usually involving staying or leaving a situation. Wearing these colors can aid in the decision making process through the vibratory influence of each color.

Color Therapy
Whether it's a date or an interview, think about the impression you want to make. Use this information to plan your wardrobe and achieve the greatest impact. The truth of each color symbolizes potential, the challenges indicate blockage. Wearing a color can stimulate and/or counteract either of these energies.
