THE COLOURS AND THEIR MEANINGS

Red
Red has more personal associations than any other colour. Recognised as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived.
A red person is full of energy, strong and physically active and can tend to be thin or muscular as the result of an active metabolism. Red people are generally out-going, gregarious and love life.
How the colour red affects us mentally and physically:
•    Increases enthusiasm
•    Stimulates energy
•    Encourages action and confidence
•    Gives a sense of protection from fears and anxiety

On the negative side, red people may have a tendency to be headstrong, impatient, bad tempered and become easily heated.  Red people need to watch their blood pressure and also watch out for problems such as boils, rashes and other skin diseases.
Balancing colour:  Blue for softness and calmness.
Orange
Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually a strong positive or negative association to orange and pure orange generally elicits a stronger “love it” or “hate it” response than other colours. Fun and flamboyant, orange radiates warmth and energy.  Orange people are just as vital as red people but are more practically oriented. They are lively and outgoing, cheerful and joyous. Orange people also tend to be practical and make good designers, engineers and architects.
How the colour orange affects us mentally and physically:
•    Stimulates activity
•    Stimulates appetite
•    Encourages socialisation

Orange people, however, can suffer from stress and a battered immune system and they need to watch their energy levels.
Balancing colour:  Indigo for inner calm and intuition.
Yellow
Yellow is the colour of the sun and shines with optimism, enlightenment and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future and instills optimism and energy as well as sparking creative thoughts.  Yellow people are good communicators and capable of logical, clear thinking.
How the colour yellow effects us mentally and physically:
•    Mentally stimulating
•    Stimulates the nervous system
•    Activates memory
•    Encourages communication

Yellow people tend to place more importance on the mind than on the body, the negative aspect of this being that they may neglect to take proper exercise and often have a poor diet. This could result in digestive problems, in particular relating to the liver and spleen.
Balancing colour: Violet is a good balancing colour as this colour brings wisdom.
Green
Green is considered to be the colour of peace and harmony. The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones.  Green people are neither extrovert or introvert and strive to find balance and harmony in their life.  They tend to be close to nature and love the countryside, animals and children. A green person would also identify strongly with the healing arts.
How green effects us physically and mentally:
•    Soothing
•    Relaxing mentally as well as physically
•    Helps alleviate depression, nervousness and anxiety
•    Offiers a sense of renewal, self-control and harmony

Green people tend not to like taking action and therefore may deliberate on anything they do, finding it hard to make decisions. They may also be possessive, either in relationships or with monetary wealth.

Balancing colour:  Rose Pink, the colour of universal love.

Blue
Blue is the overwhelming “favourite colour”. Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed.  The colour of sky and of the ocean, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. It invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming. Blue people tend to be gentle and peaceful by nature and are passive and introverted, liking to be surrounded by a loving, harmonious atmosphere.  This caring aspect is why blue is also the colour of the medical profession. Blue is the least “gender specific” colour, having equal appeal to both men and women.
Not all blues are warm and sedate, however. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic, engaging colours that express exhilaration. Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring.
How the colour blue effects us physically and mentally:
•    Calming and sedate
•    Cooling
•    Aids intuition

Tending to be introverted, blue people need to watch that they do not become too withdrawn and isolated. They can suffer from depression and may find it difficult to communicate their needs and feelings to others.  This may manifest in the form of throat related problems and may also suffer from low blood pressure.

Balancing colours:  Yellow and orange would be good choices as yellow aids communication while orange brings joy and warmth in relationships.

Deep Blue/Indigo
Indigo or deep blue people are similar in many ways to blue people being strong intellectually, but are also in touch with their intuition and higher self. They generally love music and the arts and with their knowledge comes power. They can also be very idealistic and many great reformers work on the Indigo ray.  Indigo and deep blue people are very loyal and truthful. However, they must make sure they do not abuse their power, working for the good of others and not themselves.
Balancing colour:  Orange brings practicality and earthing qualities.
Violet/Purple
Purple embodies the balance of red stimulation and blue calm.  This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined, at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. A sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple people are creative or eccentric types and are often musicians, artists or writers.
Violet is the most intuitive of colours and people choosing this colour are likely to be seeking spiritual development. Violet people are often called to serve and many psychics and healers operate under the violet ray. Because they are so sensitive, violet people can suffer from mental and nervouse disorders.
How the colour purple or violet effects us mentally and physically:
•    Uplifting
•    Calming to mind and nerves
•    Offers a sense of spirituality
•    Encourages creativity

Balancing colour: Yellow for wisdom and to boost personal power.

COLOUR DISLIKES AND COLOUR TESTS
Our short-term attractions relate to a particular stage we are going through at the time and here it is particularly useful to consider the colours we do not like and choose to reject.  If you do not like:
•    Red     –     shows frustration, anger or defeat
•    Orange     –     suffering from exhaustion, mental or physical fatigue
•    Yellow     –     suffering disappointments, feeling powerless
•    Green     –     mental disturbance, loneliness, rejection
•    Blue     –    anxiety or fear, loss of wealth or status, sense of             failure
•    Purple     –    pretentious, conceited, vain, can avoid close             relationships
•    Brown    –    desire to stand out as an individual or to stand on
your own feet
•    Black    –    desire to be in control and not relinquish personal             power

Each colour has both positive and negative aspects. If a person displays negative traits of a colour, this colour energy is blocked and its chakra centre needs to be cleared. To balance energy in a chakra, first use the colour rejected and then its complimentary colour to draw in the opposite, positive traits. You will be taught different ways of clearing these blockages in further lessons in this course. In the meantime, it is important that you are able to diagnose a problem and know which colour energies you or an individual needs.
As an example, a woman who went to a colour therapist for treatment found it very difficult to speak her true feelings for fear of rejection.  She had developed a lump on her thyroid and obviously had a blockage in the throat or blue area. This needed to be cleared and she was then encouraged to communicate and build up her self-esteem. Yellow aids communication and orange helps draw warm loving relationships to oneself.
The following list shows some of the negative qualitites of each colour:

Blockages and Negative Qualities of Colours
Red: Inability to accept life’s responsibilities. Ruthless, pushy, quick-tempered, stubborn.
Orange: Fearful, timid, shy, lack of interest in life. Problems with sexuality and relationships.
Yellow: Jealousy, envy, fear, emotions and living by patterns learned in childhood. Feelings of lack of power, obsessional behaviour, disoriented, muddle-headed.
Green: Insecurity, needing to be loved and protected. Feeling that life is unfair, unjust. Victim mentality.
Turquoise: Confusion, turmoil, inability to move through your own boundaries and limitations. Destructive thought forms.
Blue: Difficult to express oneself, motivational problems. Head in the clouds, daydreaming and not in touch with the real world.
Violet: Fears and phobias, relying too heavily on the intellect and not on your intuition. Doubting and apologising for oneself.
Magenta: Denying own needs, martyrdom and self-sacrifice, inferiority complex, trying to control others.
From the previous section on ‘The Colours and their Meanings’, choose those colours that you think would balance these negative traits.

Crystal Healing
Crystal Healing is the practice of using crystals and gemstones to heal, energise and protect the mind and body. The gemstones used in crystal therapy can also work to restore balance, clarity and natural vibrational energies that have been compromised or depleted in a patient. Though crystal healing is considered an alternative medicine, it’s been practiced for centuries and has its roots in Ancient Egypt. China and India have also used crystals in healing rituals for more than 5,000 years.
It is thought that crystals can heal minds and bodies by affecting the vibrational patterns of patients’ auras. The gems are said to carry their own vibrations and their energy can be applied to a body’s electromagnetic system for augmentation. In effect, crystal therapy aims to transfer the energy contained in gemstones to a patient in need of the same energy.

The benefits of crystal healing can be achieved by having gems rubbed on the patient and wearing gems close to the body or in a pocket next to the heart. However, many practitioners prefer to use gemstones directly on chakra points, or energy centres on the body. Using them in this manner helps facilitate the cleansing, healing and stabilizing of energy emanating from each chakra. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet stones can be placed next to their corresponding colored chakra or next to any chakra that could benefit from the healing properties of a particular stone.
Restoring the natural flow of energy helps the patient shake off negative habits, attitudes and other factors that impede a patient’s function in everyday life. Wearing metal is greatly discouraged while undergoing crystal healing, since metal acts as a stopper of energy. Metal surrounding gemstones is especially detrimental because it disrupts the energy flow coming from the gemstone. Because of this, patients who choose to wear gemstones as part of their crystal therapy often buy jewellery with gemstones that aren’t encased in metal or gold.
The condition of the gemstones is important to their effectiveness. Whole, natural, high-quality gems that are not irradiated or dyed have more healing potential than those that have been manufactured, processed or damaged. Colour, shape and size of crystals also inform their healing properties.
Advocates of crystal healing report lowered physical and mental stress levels, better health and spiritual refinement. In addition, certain crystals are believed to help heal specific ailments. Each gemstone traditionally used in crystal therapy has particular healing properties attributed to it and is used depending on a patient’s needs.
Before beginning crystal healing, gemstones should be cleansed and energized. Gemstones can be washed in clean water, laid out in the sunlight or moonlight or have sound push away negative energies contained in the stones. Chiming a bell, gong or making another pure sound next to the stones promotes the renewal of energy in the stones and readies them for a new patient.
In advanced crystal healing, gemstones can also be fashioned into wands to perform a type of “psychic surgery” that helps remove blockages, remedy illness and redirect positive energy. Though some patients have found results after undergoing psychic surgery, substituting crystal healing for primary medical care is inadvisable. Instead, crystal healing should be looked upon as a supplemental source of care for those seeking renewed energy, vitality and health.
