The Meaning and Power of Colors
Color has such a subtle effect on our lives that we rarely give it a second thought. Color comes from daylight which contains all eight colors of the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, violet and magenta. It is also a form of radiation.
Research has begun to validate the importance of color in treating disease. For example, looking at blue light has been shown to lower blood pressure by calming the autonomic nervous system, while red light causes it to rise.

Each color is associated with one of the seven chakras of the body, and every color has its complementary color. Single colors or combinations of complementary colors can be used to treat imbalances in the chakras or illness associated with that bodily region.

Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour.

Brown can mix into many surroundings. It is a mixture of red, blue and yellow and has many shades and tones - each producing a different effect. Brown can be a stabilizing color. The red in brown gives it practical energy while the yellow and blue add mental focus energies. Too much brown can make a dull effect. Brown gives a feeling of solidity, and allows one to stay in the background, unnoticed.
Some shades of brown create a warm, comfortable feeling of wholesomeness, naturalness and dependability.
Put some brown in your life when you want:
a solid wholesome feeling
to blend with the background
a connection with natural earth and the stability this brings
orderliness and convention

to spice things up when you feel time is dragging
to become more involved in something
to increase creativity
relief from things becoming too serious

Re: Color and Your Health
Indigo is the color of the deep midnight sky. It can have a negative effect when used during a depressed state, because it will deepen the mood. Indigo symbolizes a mystical borderland of wisdom, self-mastery and spiritual realization. While blue is the color of communication with others, indigo turns the blue inward, to increase personal thought, profound insights, and instant understandings. While blue can be fast, Indigo is almost instantaneous. Inventors use indigo skills for inspirations that seem to 'come out of the blue'.
Put some indigo in your life when you want:
to focus on personal issues
to develop intuition
to step outside of everyday life for a new and interesting way of viewing a problem
solitude and inner communication

Re: Color and Your Health
White Energy
Strictly speaking, white is not a color, but the manifestation of the presence of all color - the complete energy of light. It stands for wholeness and completion. In many cultures it represents openness and truth. White has a cold quality. It can provide clarity as its energy is complete.
White has purification vibrations and can be used to clear blocks from your path.
It holds the potential to move toward every other color and this makes it a good choice for new beginnings, and development in any direction.
Put some white in your life when you want:
to clear clutter and obstacles away
to start a fresh beginning
to bring about mental clarity
purification of thoughts or actions

Re: Color and Your Health
Black is not a color, strictly speaking. It is the absence of all color. When people speak of opposites, it is usually in terms of black and white. Black, and its opposite white, represent polarities. Black absorbs all aspects of light. While white reveals, black conceals. It has come to mean hidden, fearful or bad experience. It is linked to the unknown or the unseen.
In times of fear and uncertainty black contains the energy of the threatening unknown. In a positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility.
Put some black in your life when you want:
to become inconspicuous
to open the door to mystery
to prepare for the unknown
a restful emptiness

Re: Color and Your Health
Gray is the true neutral color. Its energy imparts void, emptiness, lack of movement, emotion, warmth and identifying characteristics. Because of this, gray can be restful. It has a detached and isolated feeling. Gray can have a cooling effect when placed next to other more vibrant colors. It has a stabilizing effect, making vibrant colors stand out while muting their vibration.
Put some gray in your life when you want:
to emphasize your willingness to comply
a neutral, non-invasive feeling
to reduce the intense energy of another color
to feel detached or isolated.

Green is the most relaxing, calming and balancing of the colors. It is a symbol of growth, fertility, harmony, hope, optimism, freedom and balance. On the cool end of the spectrum, green brings restfulness and coolness. Associated with the heart chakra, green stands for self love and love of the universe. It is the center overseeing all healing. If you have too little green in your environment, you can be indecisive and unable to relate to others. If you use too much green there is a tendency for your energy be scattered, and it can promote envy.

Healing Uses: Green helps to feel balanced. It can be used to reduce mood swings, and to increase self-esteem. Green eases the heart-ache. Green reduces pain, inflammation and irritations, and eases eyestrain. It reduces stress and high blood pressure. Green settles the digestive system, eases tiredness, headaches and euralgia. It increases our ability to remember things. In cases of shock or nervous tension, use pale green. For increased motivation use a medium green. For emotional uncertainty, use dark green.


Balance the Root Chakra with Sound

Choose a comfortable spot where you will be undisturbed for ten to fifteen minutes.  You can play some classical music, relaxing nature sounds,

or special brainwave audio tracks to help you relax.  A great sound to listen to while meditating to balance the root chakra energies is Tibetan

Bowls. The sound of the C note resonates with the energy of the root chakra and is used to balance and heal the root chakra.

 Balance the Root Chakra with Meditation

Focus your attention on the root chakra and really feel the energy flowing into the root chakra.  Visualize the first color that comes to

mind, whatever it may be.  The root chakra most likely requires this color to maintain balance and to heal.  Visualize this color as light flowing

into the root chakra.  Every color has a different vibration, and the root chakra may require certain frequencies to balance itself. C for root Chakra.
