Everything Color - Color Healing


COLOR HEALING—according to Patti Conklin (Hypnotherapist & Light Worker) in her book, “God Within—The Day God’s Train Stopped (2014),” there are two active vibrations in the universe—color and tone.  Crystals, reiki, and any other type of vibrations may be effective, but they do not have the frequency to heal cellular memory. 
 
Cellular memory is based on the assumption that all cells have memory and these cells store experiences, not just facts and figures as the brain does.  Cellular memory stores the memory from physical trauma like accidents and/or surgeries, as well as disturbing emotional experiences such as abuse, heartache and fear; including mental trauma like worry and feeling unworthy.

When we suppress the energy that is attached to these traumatic experiences, our bodies develop physical illness. 

For example, in her book, Patti uses the lack of self worth as the cause of her disease, lupus.  It was not the disease that needed to be addressed, but how she felt about herself.  She felt the need to increase her self worth.

She then closed her eyes and asked, “What color do I need to increase my self worth?”
 
She heard a voice tell her black.  Although she had her reservations regarding the color black, she trusted the information and “imagined blackness seeping through the bottom of (her) feet, up the body and out the mouth.”   This was a ten minute meditation that left her feeling, “lighter with more mental clarity.”

The next day she asked again, “What color do I need to increase my self worth?”  But she also asked, “What color do I need to remove my lupus?”
 
To this day she says she hasn’t experienced another active period of lupus. Even her blood work returned to normal.

It’s a fascinating book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering from disease.  Any disease!

COLOR is a property of light broken down into different frequencies.  Every frequency or color has the ability of impacting the various energies of the human essence.  Take for instance the ancient Hindu practice of restoring the Chakra System.  For those of you who do not know what chakras are, they are elusive energy points along the spinal column.

Red is the color of the root chakra.  Vibrations related to the root charka would then be transferred along the nerve pathways to the organs closest to it.  Since the root chakra is located at the base of the spine, the areas affected would be vertebrae, rectum, anus, sex organs, legs, and anything else attached in that area of the human body.  It is the center of life promoting energy.

The spleen chakra is above the root chakra, at the first lumbar of the spine. Its color is orange.  It also impacts the reproductive system, in addition to the muscular system.  The organs influenced by this center are the spleen, kidneys, bladder and pancreas.  The keyword here would be detoxification.

The color of the next chakra, the solar plexus chakra is yellow.  This chakra impacts the stomach, gall bladder, liver, adrenal gland, and the digestive system.  It is also linked to the left hemisphere of the brain and psychic energies.

The color of the heart chakra is green.  It impacts the circulatory system, as well as the immune system.  It is also linked to the right hemisphere of the brain.  It is the center of higher love and healing energies.

The throat chakra is next, and its color is blue.  It influences the throat, esophagus, the mouth, teeth, thyroid and digestive tract.  It can be stimulated for greater abundance in our lives and increase our telepathic abilities.

The color of the brow chakra is indigo.  It is linked to the eyes, ears, sinuses and the face.  It impacts the pituitary gland and the endocrine system of the body.  This area can open your spiritual vision and is inner connected the imagination and creative visualization.

And finally, the crown chakra; its color is violet.  This chakra aligns us with the higher energies in the universe.  It influences the functions of the nervous system, and the skeletal system, as well as the pineal gland.

Once you identify the chakra that needs support simply visualize yourself surrounded within the related color. 

I had a friend who was hospitalized after a major heart attack.  To help her heal, I would visualize the color green surrounding her body.

But, never use the color green on a cancer patient.  Green symbolizes growth, and if you or a loved one has a tumor, the last thing you want to do is promote growth.

color, and Yang is the whiteness
that reflects color.
 
 
USING COLOR THE FENG SHUI WAY—Feng Shui is the Chinese ancient art of placement.  Without getting to heavily involved in the practice, we will discuss creating an environment with colors that will nurture your family home or office.

RED:  is stimulating and dominant, it reduces the size of rooms and increases the size of objects.  It is useful as an accent color.  It is not suitable for dining rooms, children’s bedrooms, kitchens or workshops.  It is associated with warmth, prosperity and stimulation, but also anger, shame and hatred.

YELLOW:  is associated with enlightenment and intellect, it stimulates the brain and aids in digestion.  Its positive qualities are optimism, reason, and decisiveness, while its negative are craftiness, exaggeration and rigidity.  Suitable for hallways and kitchens, but not for meditation rooms or bathrooms.

GREEN:  symbolizes growth, fertility and harmony; it is restful and refreshing.  Its positive associations are optimism, freedom and balance, and its negatives envy and deceit.  Good in therapy rooms, conservatories and bathrooms, but not in family rooms, playrooms or studies.

BLUE:  is peaceful and soothing and is linked with spirituality, contemplation, mystery and patience.  Its positive associations are trust, faithfulness and stability.

Negatives are suspicion and melancholia.  Blue can be used in meditation rooms, bathrooms, therapy rooms and as a means of enlarging spaces, but not in family rooms, dining rooms and studies.

 
PURPLE:  encouraging vitality, purple is impressive, dignified and spiritual.  Positive associations are excitement, passion and motivation, negatives are mournfulness and force.  Use in bedrooms and meditation rooms but not in bathrooms or kitchens.
 
PINK:  is linked with purity of thought and has the positive association of happiness and romance with no negatives.  Suitable with bedrooms but not kitchens or bathrooms.

PEACH:  BEWARE!  Using the color peach in your bedroom is asking for trouble if you are married. “Peach Blossom Luck” is a well-known concept in China, meaning a husband or a wife with a roving eye.  A married person maybe drawn into adultery.  A single person, however, will have an active social life but will probably be unable to find a life partner.

SYMBOLIC QUALITIES OF THE PARROT


 
 
Parrot  is a bird of the sun.  Its bright colors and sunshine aspect are what gives it its magic.  Its feathers can be used in prayer sticks for powerful healing rites and to invoke the energies of the sun at any time of the year.


In the Pueblo tradition, it is a bird associated with the gathering of salt.  The places where salt was found were considered a gift of the sun.  Since the parrot was to the Pueblo a bird of the sun, there is the correspondence.  Parrots come in a variety of colors.  Anyone with a parrot as a totem should do some study of colors and their effects.  The parrot is a wonderful teacher of the power of light an colors.

Some parrots have been taught to mimic humans.  Because of this ability, the parrot has been considered a link between the human kingdom and the bird kingdom.  Parrots, in this sense, could be linked to ambassadors, diplomats, and interpreters for the bird realm.  They have a magic that will enable you to understand others more effectively.  They can help you awaken a sense of diplomacy.

COLOR HEALING – (Part 2) The Dictionary of Colors


(The following information is from the “Healer’s Manual: A Beginners’ Guide to Energy Therapies,” by Ted Andrews)

 
WHITE
Keynote:  Purification, purity, amplification
Physical Applications:  All systems of the body.  White contains the entire light spectrum.  It is strengthening.  It is cleansing and purifying to the entire energy system.  It can awaken greater creativity.  When in doubt as to what color to use, you can seldom go wrong with white.  It is also beneficial to begin and end a color therapy session with white to stabilize the energy system of the individual and to give it an overall boost.  It amplifies the effects of any other color used with it in a healing session.

 
BLACK
Keynote:  Protection, grounding, strengthening
Physical Applications:  Effective in polarity therapy when combined with white.  Black also contains the entire color spectrum within it.  It is a color that has had many confusing correspondences in the past.  Many individuals shy away from using black in color therapy and healing, but I have found it to be beneficial at times.  Black is a protective color.  It is grounding and calming, especially to extremely sensitive individuals.  It activates the magnetic or feminine energies of the body, strengthening them.

Black should be used sparingly, as too much black can cause depression or aggravate such emotional/mental conditions.  Black is most effective when used in conjunction with white, balancing the polarities of the individual, especially in cases where the individual seems to be losing control.  It can activate the subconscious mind which can put life and all of its craziness into proper perspective.  It should rarely be used by itself, but always in combination with another color.

 
RED
Keynote:  Strengthening of the life force, will and sexuality; stimulating
Physical Applications:  Circulatory system, sexuality.  Stimulating to the overall energy levels of the metabolism, lower extremities, most blood conditions.  Red is a stimulating color.  It will energize the base chakra.  It warms and activates.  It awakens our physical life force.  It can be used for colds, poor circulation, anemia, and mucus ailments.  Red strengthens the physical energy and the will of the individual.  It can stimulate deeper passions, whether they be of sex and love, courage, hatred or even revenge.

Too much red can over-stimulate and aggravate certain conditions.  High blood pressure is an indication of too much red energy within the system.  Red can be used to raise the body’s temperature and to energize the blood.  It is also balanced by the color green.


ORANGE
Keynote:  Activation, construction, optimism, energy reserves
Physical Applications:  Muscular system, eliminative system, emotional aggravation and causes of physical problems.  Orange affects the second (spleen) chakra center.  It is the color of joy and wisdom and creativity.  It stimulates feelings of socialness.  It is tied to our emotional health and the muscular systems of the body.  Too much orange affects the nerves, and it should be used balanced with shades of green-blues.  Orange can assist us in healing conditions of the spleen, pancreas, stomach, intestines, adrenals, food assimilation, and depression. 

Individuals experiencing emotional paralysis can be helped with the color, especially the peach shades.  Peach is a color that strengthens the aura and gives it a little extra cushioning in recovery processes.  It and most shades of orange can be used to revitalize the physical body.  It makes a good tonic after a bout of illness, for it is strengthening to the eliminative system of the body.

 
YELLOW

Physical Applications:  Digestive system, gastro-intestinal tract, adrenal activity, left hemisphere brain activity.  Yellow predominantly affects the solar plexus chakra, and it is stimulating to the mental faculties of the individual.  It can be used for depression.  It helps awaken an enthusiasm for life.  It awakens greater confidence and optimism.  It is also effective in the treatment of digestive problems.  It is beneficial to the stomach, the intestines, the bladder, and the entire eliminative system as well.  It is very effective to the treatment of most headaches.  It helps to balance the gastrointestinal tract.  The golden-yellow shades are healthful to both the body and the mind.  It can be used to facilitate the learning capabilities of an individual.

Yellow is a color that catches the eye.  It is one of the first colors that most people notice.  It is also a color that can create or indicate anxiety and mental problems.  Excessive amount or exposures to it should be balanced with colors from the blue spectrum.


GREEN
Keynote:  Balance, growth, calming
Physical Applications:  Circulatory system, sympathetic nervous system, conditions aggravated by emotions.  (Green should never be used to help heal tumorous or cancerous conditions, as green helps things grow) Green is most predominant color on the planet.  It balances our energies, and it can be used to increase our sensitivity and compassion.  It has a calming effect, especially in inflamed conditions of the body.  It is soothing to the nervous system.  The brighter greens, leaning toward the blue spectrum are powerful in healing most conditions.  Green can also be used to awaken greater friendliness, hope, faith, and peace.  It is restful and revitalizing to overtaxed mental conditions.

Green strongly affects the heart chakra, and it is balancing to the autonomic nervous system.  It can be applied beneficially in cardiac conditions, high blood pressure, ulcers, exhaustion, and headaches.  It should never be used in cancerous or tumorous conditions, or with anything of a malignant nature, as green also stimulates growth.


BLUE

Indigo can be used effectively to treat all conditions of the face (including the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and sinuses).  Indigo also has a sedative effect, and it can be used in meditation to achieve deeper levels of consciousness.  It can awaken devotion and intuition.  It can be used for problems in the lungs and for removing obsessions.  Too much Indigo can cause depression and a sense of separateness from others.  It can be balanced effectively with soft orange shades.

 
VIOLET

Physical Applications:  Skeletal system, nervous system, some venous conditions, cancerous/tumorous conditions.  Violet is a color that affects the crown chakra.  It also affect the entire skeletal and nervous systems of the body.  It is very antiseptic, purifying on both physical and spiritual levels.  It helps balance the physical and the spiritual energies.  Violet is effective in cancerous conditions of the body.  Arthritis can be eased by a violet light that leans more toward the blue shades.  Violet also helps the body to assimilate nutrients and minerals.

Violet also stimulates inspiration and humility.  It assists in stimulating dream activity.  In meditation violet can help open us to our past lives, especially those which are presently affecting our health.  A true violet is fifty percent blue and fifty percent red.  It is the balance of the physical and the spiritual.  It is a reminder that we need both aspects within our life for balanced health.  Violet helps to restore a proper perspective both in regard to the mundane aspects of life (including the physical well-being), and the spiritual aspects, helping to keep them practical.

 
AQUA (Turquoise and other light blue-greens)

LEMMON
Keynote:  Mental stimulation
Physical Applications:  Digestive system, left hemisphere brain activity.  Lemon is vitalizing and stimulating to the brain.  Thus, is effective in treating and alleviating conditions associated with it – i.e. Alzheimer’s, senility, etc.  It can be used to help stimulate the brain’s natural abilities.  It always has a shade of green within the spectrum, and in lemon, the green works as a cleanser.  Lemons assists us in bringing toxins to the surface so the can be cleaned out.  These may be physical toxins as well as emotional toxins.  Lemon is also effective in treating digestive problems and appendicitis.  It facilitates the natural digestive process, helping the body assimilate nutrients more effectively.  Lemon is good for tissues and bones.

 
PINK
Keynote:  Smoothing
Physical Applications:  Skin conditions and inflammations, immune system.  Pink is a soothing color on all levels, physical and otherwise.  Mentally and emotionally, it can be used to soothe conditions of anger and feelings of neglect.  Pink can be used to awaken compassion, love, and purity.  It can be used in meditation to discern greater truths.  It is comforting to the emotional energies of the individual.  Physically, pink is most effective in the treatment of skin problems and conditions, especially when combined with aqua.  It also stimulates the thymus gland and ease stresses upon the immune system of the body.

 
PURPLE
Keynote:  Intense purification
Physical Applications:  Detoxifying the body.  Purple is considered by many to be a high vibrational color.  It is this high vibration which gives it its ability for purification.  It is effective to use when strong detoxifying of the body is needed, as in the case of cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions.  Purple is purifying to the body, but because of its high vibration it should be used sparingly.  Too much purple can create or aggravate depression.  It can be used to stimulate venous activity in the body.  It can also be used for headaches.  The red-purple range is beneficial to balancing the polarities of the body.  The blue-purple range is effective in helping to shrink (such as tumors) and to cool, easing inflammations. 

 
SILVER
Keynote:  Amplification and intuitive clarification
Physical Applications:  Discernment of the cause of dis-ease.  Silver can be used to amplify the effects of other colors, much in the manner of white.  It is also effective in meditation, in discovering the metaphysical source of an illness or dis-ease.  Unless we discover the source, the likelihood of its remanifestation is high.  Silver can also be used to help discover and apply the creative imagination.  It activates innate intuition.  It is stimulating and balancing to the feminine energies, and especially the yin meridians.

COLOR HEALING - (Part 1) The Chakras


Color plays an important role in our physical, mentally, emotional and spiritual well being.  Color dances in the landscapes, and flows through people, culture and language.  How many times have you read or heard someone say, “His face was red with anger?”  Or black as night?

There’s even a theory that we are drawn to the color of the clothing we chose to wear for today; that we feel a need to have that particular color in our life.  There are even certain periods of our life’s, or seasons, where we are more drawn to a color.  I know in the winter time, I am more prone to black and navy blue, but in the summer, I love bright colors.  Color sets the mood.

The fashion industry uses color as a marketing tool, by telling us it is proper to wear earth tones in the autumn and pastels in the spring.  Realtors suggest using neutral colors when preparing your house for the market.  When choosing a color for this blog, I choose black for a background, because black is mystical, it symbolizes death and rebirth; like the birth of a new thought.

Color is a property of light broken down into different frequencies.  Every frequency or color has the ability of impacting the various energies of the human essence.  Take for instance the Chakra System.  For those of you who do not know what chakras are, it is a Hindu tradition.  Chakras are elusive energy points along the spinal column. 

Red is the color of the root chakra.  Vibrations related to the root charka would then be transferred along the nerve pathways to the organs closest to it.  Since the root chakra is located at the base of the spine, the areas affected would be vertebrae, rectum, anus, sex organs, legs, and anything else attached in that area of the human body.  It is the center of life promoting energy.

The spleen chakra is above the root chakra, at the first lumbar of the spine. Its color is orange.  It also impacts the reproductive system, in addition to the muscular system.  The organs influenced by this center are the spleen, kidneys, bladder and pancreas.  The keyword here would be detoxification.  

The color of the next chakra, the solar plexus chakra is yellow.  This chakra impacts the stomach, gall bladder, liver, adrenal gland, and the digestive system.  It is also linked to the left hemisphere of the brain and psychic energies. 

The color of the heart chakra is green.  It impacts the circulatory system, as well as the immune system.  It is also linked to the right hemisphere of the brain.  It is the center of higher love and healing energies.

The throat chakra is next, and its color is blue.  It influences the throat, esophagus, the mouth, teeth, thyroid and digestive tract.  It can be stimulated for greater abundance in our lives and increase our telepathic abilities.

The color of the brow chakra is indigo.  It is linked to the eyes, ears, sinuses and the face.  It impacts the pituitary gland and the endocrine system of the body.  This area can open your spiritual vision and is inner connected the imagination and creative visualization.

And finally, the crown chakra; its color is violet.  This chakra aligns us with the higher energies in the universe.  It influences the functions of the nervous system, and the skeletal system, as well as the pineal gland.

The colors of the Chakras are the colors of the rainbow (Roy G Biv = Red, orange, yellow, Green, Blue, indigo, violet). Part 2 of Color Healing will be posted soon.  Until then, enjoy this guided meditation below and clear your chakras.
