Color is very powerful. Though we tend not to be consciously aware or it, color has a stronger influence on us than music or sound. We just tend to be more aware of the affect that tone and sound have on us than that of light and color. Close your eyes and imagine the world as a black and white photo. What does the fall look like in black and white? What does the winter look like? What does the spring look like? What does the summer look like? I rest my case. Color is very powerful force in our lives.

Color is constantly present in our lives and yet we tend not to really be aware of it. It has the power to completely change our mood and even our physical health. Expressions like “painting the town red”, “I’m feeling blue” or “He’s a yeller’- belly” show us just how completely imbedded color is in our reality. We already have an intuitive knowledge of color we just need to access that knowledge. This can be done very easily through our emotional, gut reaction to it. By just consciously focusing on color we can reclaim our knowledge of it and use its power in our lives.

Color is light. The rainbow is light that is broken down into its basic components of 7 different vibrations. We see those vibrations as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These 7 different colors exist within us in the 7 subtle energy centers in our bodies called chakras or wheels. These subtle energy centers are spinning vortexes of light and in turn correspond to the body’s glandular system. They each spin at a different velocity, each emanating one of the 7 colors of the rainbow. When a chakra is balanced and healthy it spins in a clockwise direction. When it is out of balance it spins counter-clockwise. One of the ways that you can promote balance and health in your chakras is to wear the corresponding color for that chakra.

Scroll through the colors below and see which one(s) you like the best. Next, read what qualities that color promotes. If you would like to promote a quality that you feel is a weakness of yours then you might want to experiment wearing that color and observing how it makes you feel. If you crave a particular color then, by all means, WEAR IT! As you can see, the colors below are shown not as a single hue of a particular color but as a range. Most important is that you follow your immediate reaction to a color. Don’t think about it, feel it. Color is very powerful and very important in our lives. Use it!
