EP 549 - Boost Your Energy With Colour

But the little boy said…There are so many colors in the rainbow. So many colors in the morning sun. So many colors in the flower and I see every one.

I love this song by Harry Chapin. 

March is Colour Therapy Month and it reminds me that soon, the snow will leave us and the amazing colours of spring will surface.  These colours make me smile, they pick me up and they put the world back into perspective.

Research has found that colour does impact our mood.  Colour therapy itself, is an energy healing method that has been used for thousands of years.

So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Colour Therapy Month:

Deep breathing and visualization are powerful strategies that can calm and heal us.  You may want to vary this by using Colour Breathing.  While breathing in and out, the participant visualizes the various colours of the rainbow filling their body and then being released.  Red, orange and yellow come up from the ground through the body, to the top and leave through the ground.  Green is visualized coming in horizontally from the world to fill your body and then leaves out the back, while blue and violet come in from the head, to the toes and back out to the sky.

Here are a couple favourites from the Colour Therapy Month website:

Eat a salad that contains all 7 colors of the rainbow.

Take a color therapy bath.

Mix and drink your favorite colorful cocktail or fruit smoothie.

Create a flower display of all the 7 rainbow colors.
