Colours is such a fascinating and rich subject, it’s all around us all or most of the time yet many of us never even think about colours let alone use them actively to our advantage in daily life.
As opposed to animals we, or most of us, see life in colour yet it is something we know almost nothing about. We know the names of a number of colours but when it comes to the more unusual ones, we have no clue. What is mauve for instance? Or ochre? What do they look like?
Colours have a cultural significance, they can have political associations, they can be linked with religion, the have age connotation… they have spiritual and health meanings as they signifies the energies of our aura or body’s energy field.
We seem to prefer certain colours for clothing but different colours for our surroundings. We often allow ourselves to follow the colour dictates of fashion even if it does not “feel right”. If everything else fails, we tend to surround ourselves with white and wear black or other so-called neutral colours. Why?
Because colours communicate even if we’re not aware of it… and often we’re afraid of standing out, showing our true colour in a mass of blackness or nothingness!
Our subconscious mind is however, quite capable of picking up colours and their meaning. .. and so is our body! The simple reason is that color has energy and therefore a vibration and a frequency like everything else in this Universe. Because colour is frequency it can be “translated” into other aspects that we might understand, into matters that is coherent with our bodies and mind.
The frequency of colours can be used to balance off imbalances in our bodies… because that is frequencies too. This way, colours can not only affect our moods but in subtle ways actually have health benefits.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ in our body is linked with an element, a season, a colour as well as an organ, a taste, a mood, a sound, a time and much more. Looking at this, we get an insight into WHY colours are so important to our lives:
