Rose Reiki - working with colours

I think colour is very important, especially as part of a healing process. When I look around my environment I see colour. I see it in nature and in my decor, but most people wear dark colours and I often wonder what drew them to dig that piece of clothing out the wardrobe and wear it.

Every day when I decide what to wear I am drawn, predominantly, to wear something bright. I wear a lot of green and purple. Green symbolises love and healing and the purple symbolises intuition and psychic development, the connection with the higher realm.

When I first came out of a bad relationship break-up, I wore a lot of pink. Again symbolic of love and healing - the heart chakra.

Colour is associated with the chakras, the aura and wearing particularly colours helps with the healing and rebalancing of chakras. If you've had kirlian photography you will have seen the colours surrounding the aura. I have a lot of green and blue on one side and pink emanating from my chest. I also see also violet/indigo and turquoise there.

When I first moved into my cottage the walls were painted magnolia in every room, except the back garden room which was red brick and dark brown vinyl floor. I did not feel the need to redecorate, as everything was fresh, clean and bright. The one room which received immediate treatment was the garden room. I found the dark colours (though earthy and grounding) too oppressive, so I painted the room white and laid a new carpet in blue. It is now bright and befits a room, which backs onto the garden and receives a lot of light.

Nearly three years on I have now painted the rest of the house. it's taken me this long to really get to know the house, the way the light falls and what I felt drawn to. The colours in the main room are muted and calming, while the kitchen is a bright sunny yellow to lift the spirits. My room has two walls painted purple - my favourite colour, along with green of course.

My summerhouse is painted willow green, as are my sheds, ferret hutch and chicken coop! At least they blend in with the environment.

I have to add that when I decide what to wear I am drawn intuitively to these colours. My wardrobe does have clothes of other colours!

What are you drawn to? Is there one colour that you seem to wear a lot of? It could be trying to tell you something.

Love and Light
