Colours & Their Meanings

Whilst studying to become a Psychic Counsellor one of the things necessary for me to learn was the different meanings of colours of the spectrum. Also their physical and emotional effects. Those colours are: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, TURQUOISE, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET, MAGENTA.

I'm not saying in any way that this is what a Psychic Counsellor has to learn. I personally have been following my own path, I am drawn to or directed towards the next various things that I am supposed to study. To be honest, my studying has been going on for years. And to some degree I've not been too sure where I was going with it. But still I took my courses over the years just in the background of living my life. Now I have qualifications in: Colour Therapy, Basic Anatomy & Physiology, Indian Head Massage, Drug Awareness, Counselling and Life Coaching. I am also blessed with the gift of Clairvoyance. And having the curiosity for the Paranormal and Unexplained. I am constantly developing my abilities and love my job of helping people. Good, now I've got that off my chest. Blimey!

****************************


That's only the tip of the of the iceberg with how deep and what combination of ways you can use and work with colour. They play such a big part of our lives. Imagine a world with no colour. Rubbish! It would be like the dreary days we get so many of, when we are wishing for the Summer to grow some backbone and fight it's way through with sunny days.

If you would like to have a colour reading for yourself, to see which ones you are needing in your life right now and the changes you can make by introducing them. Please contact me via my email (profile page).

Remember, if your not smiling on the outside it's definately because you're not 'Smiling From Within'.

Colour Therapy Explained

One of the areas covered in my Psychic Counselling is Colour Therapy. I really like this area because you can really get your teeth stuck in. There's so many options and variations to fit in with all walks of life not to mention each individual will pick colours specific to what they need at that given time. Remembering also, that next week the same person could do the same test and pick out new colours. It's amazing how it works out to be so accurate.

Basically, every single colour that you see has an effect in it's own way. Emotional, Physical, Mentally & Spiritually. And without going too deep all these colours and parts of the body that they correspond with are also connected to the Aura which is our unseen vibrational body! But we wont go into that now. Each part of the body responds to a different colour.

Colours effect our personalities. That's where sayings such as 'Black Mood', 'Green With Envy', 'Red With Rage', 'Pink With Delight' (not really, I just made that one up!) come from. Extremes of emotions are often the outward display of imbalances or blockages in the flow of colour energies into and out of the body.

I'll explain a little about how it all works. Especially for those who are just discovering this area.

How Light Enters The Body
Of all our organs the eyes are the most highly tuned for receiving coloured light. They supply about 90% of the sensory information available to the brain. Information about light and colour also enters the body through our skin (even when fully clothed). The eyes gather visual information for us and then channels it through to the brain so that we can perceive more accurately in consciousness what the body also experiences, but does not make conscious.

Colour Blindness
Some people are unable to tell the difference between certain colours. Most commonly the difficulty is in distinguishing RED from GREEN, although other people cannot tell the difference between YELLOW and BLUE. About 8% of men (bless 'em) and 1% of women ( you go girls) are RED-GREEN colour blind.
Even so, it doesn't matter what colour you are seeing something in because it has no relation to the physiological effects of those wavelengths. Even when RED and GREEN are seen as muddy BROWN, each colour will have it's different, specific effects on the body. This is exactly the same for visually impaired people, the impact of colour does not depend on you being able to see it.

Intuitive Knowledge Of Colour
Our first experience of colour takes place in the womb. As we grow older we then begin to attach feelings, memories and meanings to our experiences of colours. This then results in colours becoming a feature of our sub-conscious. The association of particular colours to feelings and emotions such as Happy, 'Smiling From Within', Sad and Frightening experiences builds up our colour preferences.

When I work together with someone who has come to me for Psychic Counselling and Life Coaching I would give them a picture chart that they would look at for a couple of seconds. They then pick out three colours that stand out the most, giving me each colour in the particular order they first looked at them. For example:

1st BLUE
2nd GREEN
3rd YELLOW

This determines to me so much about their personality and what they need to introduce into their life at this particular time to make necessary relevant changes. It's covers such a wide spectrum we can go as basic or as deep and we want. It's a fun subject.

On that note, I hope you found Colour Therapy interesting but feel free to let me know if there is a subject that I can tell you more about, if I can. 


Remember, when you feel a fluttering inside your chest, that's your heart
'Smiling From Within'.
