COLOURS
All the colours have a lesson for us, energies to give us and wisdom within them.
If we learn to understand their language they can help us to grow peacefully into healthy, caring, motivated and brilliant people!!
Colour and light therapies have been used since ancient times in Egypt, Babylon,
and China. The Romans and Greeks used light therapies and even today the unseen
and sometimes harmful colour rays of ultra violet and infrared are used by the medical profession to heal. The middle rays of the spectrum are the colours that are usually just taken for granted though and few of us realize the importance of their energy or their healing ability.
Colour surrounds us from the day we are born. It is used every day to describe our health, attitudes, emotions and our behaviour. Learning and understanding the power of colour and its meaning can give us insights into ourselves and others. Using colours to heal can help us to balance our energies and appreciate and value all our experiences. We usually only use 9 colours for healing but here I have added black, brown, pink, white, gold and silver as we all use and wear these colours so it is important to know their meanings.

As life changes so do our choices. Colours act as a mirror to tell us how we may be acting or reacting to what is happening in our lives at this time. They give us a reflection of ourselves from an inner subconscious level which can help us to change the conscious decisions we make. The colours we wear, the colours we eat and the colours we surround ourselves in can tell us a lot about ourselves once we known how to read their language.
