Seeing a Rainbow is a rare and special thing but did you know that the colours of the rainbow are the same as the colours of our energy centres or ‘Chakras’ and that our choice of colour can affect not only our mood but also our health? Each Chakra relates to a particular colour frequency and a body in good health needs a balance of all the rainbow colours.

The colours of the rainbow and our Chakras each have their own meaning and we all have an identity colour. Do you recognise yourself in any of these?

VIOLET – CROWN 

Extremely sensitive, Violets are very often talented musicians, artists or writers. Very intuitive and commonly called to serve others, they can suffer from nervous disorders.

Express yourself in style this Summer with DONNA in LAVENDER.

“I have high ideals. Am very loyal and am seeking spiritual fulfilment.”

 

 

When we look in our wardrobe and can’t find anything to wear it may be that we just can’t find the colour our body needs at that time. We also associate aromas with visual colours, for example aromas we like such as rose, lilac, violet, lemon all have beautiful vibrant colours and smells we dislike tend to have muddy colours such as rubber, oil, fish and vinegar. The scent from essential oils can also stimulate the brain to link with a colour memory.

Our health and wellbeing is affected by our choice of colour in the food we eat. Red, orange and yellow foods are acidic in quality so have a stimulating effect. Green and blue foods are alkaline so gentler on the system. This is why we are often advised to reduce our intake of red meat and eat more green vegetables, blueberries etc.
