Colors and Energy

Colors are frequencies.  Frequencies are energies.  Different colors emanate different energies and influences upon us through their frequency.  It is very important to choose what colors you regularly wear, and those you surround yourself with in your home.  Here are a few guidelines.

White reflects light, including our own inner light, thus sharing it with others.  It affords protection and is a neutral energy.  Wearing, eating, or living around white brings a sense of peace.  White is associated with the crown chakra.

Red brings in energy and heat, inflames passion, stirs creativity, slows time, increases restlessness and anger.  It gives impulse but lacks endurance.  It is an exceedingly difficult color to wear or live around for any length of time, without developing these qualities in oneself.  So use red with caution and pace yourself.  If you are feeling depleted and need energy red can be helpful, but if you are feeling angry this will only make it worse.  Red is associated with the root chakra.

Orange is stimulating, brings visibility, and is difficult to live with on a daily basis.  If used judiciously it can draw positive attention to a speaker or one who has a message.  For most people however, orange brings in irritation.  Orange is associated with the sacral chakra.

Yellow increases anxiety and temper, is uplifting, mentally stimulating, inviting, and eye-catching.  It can be physically energizing when used in small amounts.  Yellow is associated with the solar plexus chakra.

Green is fertile, healing, growth-producing, conducive to meditation, calming, and speeds time.  It brings the endurance, which red lacks.  It tends to make people feel more grounded.  Green is associated with the heart chakra.

Blue is protecting, calming, conducive to meditation, detached, brings peace and harmony, and speeds time.  Most people, when asked what their favorite color is, say 'blue'.  Blue is associated with the throat chakra.

Pink inhibits aggressive behavior, increases docility.  It's energy gentle and soft, and tends to create an atmosphere of compassion, warmth, and happiness.  It is sometimes associated with the heart chakra.

Violet heals and opens us spiritually.  It is a soothing color for a bedroom since in enhances sleep.  Use of this color can assist in opening up our psychic gifts.  It is associated with the third eye chakra.

Brown encourages work efficiency.  It has a grounding effect since it is the color of earth.  Too much is depressing and tends to weigh people down.  It is not associated with any chakra.

Black is an absence of color, whereas white is all colors together.  Black will absorb heat, energy, feelings, and vibrations from the surrounding environment, including other people.  It leans us towards depression.
