Color is the most commonly used modality in our daily life. The question arises whether people understand what the influence of color on the body is. The answer to this question mostly is that the person does not understand or even know that there is any affect.

I would like to share with you the importance of color in your life. Color does have a physiological effect on the body and therefore can be valuable to treat physical problems like diabetes, hypertension and intestinal problems for instance. Besides the effect on the body there is also an emotional healing in color that comes from the limbic system in the brain once the eye observes the specific colour. This may lead to confusion at times resulting in an uncertainty of how to dress of even what color to choose when purchasing any article.

Color therefore brings about healing in all facets in life and need to be considered in a very sensitive way. One needs to focus on how to dress, what to eat as well as what color is surrounding you in your personal living space, working environment and even surrounding you when sleeping.

The effect of color on the body may lead to either frustration of healing, soothing the mind or placing a stressor on the body and in the mind. Intellectual abilities as well as physical support are also enhancing by the color you choose. Other intellectual functioning such as social, spiritual, musical as well as emotional intelligence can also be strengthened or enhanced by specific colour during specific events and or happenings.

It is also of importance to remember that what is good for one person may lead to frustration for another person. Therefore color needs to be chosen in a delicate and sensitive way. So may it happen that red is good for one person and bad for another person due to physical or emotional differences.

Emotional balance is surely one of the most important aspects to deal with when focussing on color. The clothes you wear as well as the food you eat together with the color in the environment may have a positive or negative impact on your behaviour. That may cause that you may feel good in red one day and the following day red may be irritable. If this happens introspection to what is happening in the self or in the environment needs to be done.

The effect of color may also contributes to maintaining certain behaviour once a person can understand what is happening when using specific colors in specific situations.

I would like to forward more information to you in the sessions to follow.

Enjoy color as far as possible and make sure you become aware of the influence of it in your life.
