It has been known that color plays a major role in setting up a particular state of mind. Color does affect one's feelings, moods, and emotions. Before examining color and its healing implications, we must address a very important concept: that of cause and effect. True healing comes about when the cause of the condition is addressed and transformed. If healing goes no further than a mere relief or masking of the conditions, then, eventually, that which brought about the need for healing, in the first place, will resurface and manifest itself within our physical self and our environments in one form or another.

Enter the Secret Sensory World of Color

WHITE	White contains the entire light spectrum. It is very cleansing and purifying to the entire energy system of the physical self of the individual and our environment. It can awaken great creativity. By means of the will set forth by the color white, all things are set into motion. Based on our understanding of one's function in life, the individual focused on the ray of white has a determination and persistence to achieve his/her purpose through creative expression.
GREY SILVER	Silver serves to communicate cosmic love and truth to others. Radiating warmth to nourish the souls and spirits of our brothers and sisters, silver has a strong influence upon our world. Recognizing that life cannot be truly beautiful until all share in its beauty, silver brings helpful people into our life.
BLACK	Ah, the magic and mystery of black. Black also contains the entire color spectrum. Black is a protective color, it can be used to ground us. It activates the magnetic energies of the body, strengthening them. It can activate that level of the subconscious which can put life into proper perspective through our choice of career path.
BLUE	Dr. Edwin Babbitt, in his classic, "The Principles of Light and Color," states that "The Blue Ray is one of the greatest antiseptics in the world." Blue is cooling, electric, astringent. It is a very positive color, indicating loyalty and reliability, as expressed in the sentiment of being "true blue." Blue links with and stimulates the throat chakra. The throat chakra is often referenced as the "power center" and "the greatest center in the body" because it is the primary center of expression and communication, through speech. Thus, representing our knowledge. Man's dual nature of the spiritual and the material becomes more integrated and better understood through blue.
GREEN	Green is midway within the color spectrum; therefore, it is the color of balance and harmony. Green is the color of Nature and the earth. It is balance and harmony in essence and possesses a soothing influence upon both the healthy mind and body of our family. From the organization of life into family and children, green creates a sense of security for itself.  Green links with and stimulates the heart chakra. Therefore, it is, truly, representative of our Spirit, because love is the motivating power behind all family life.
PURPLE	An old Chinese saying goes, "It is so red, it is purple," meaning that something is the best that it can be. In search of the best in everything, purple creates a inspiring environment for attaining wealth and prosperity. Wish fulfillment then takes the place of action and effort. At such times, it devises a magical kingdom for its life.
RED	Red is called "The Great Energizer". Red generally indicates the status of physical life. Its presence, in abundance, reflects a person who is more objective, earthy, mundane, and personal in nature. In a positive state, red indicates the presence of an energizing and vitalizing force which tends to drive the individual in his or her earthly affairs. Representing the initial phase of self-assertion, red needs avenues for expression. Thus Red represents our world view, our reputation in life.  Red links with and stimulates the root chakra, at the base of the spine, causing the adrenal glands to release adrenalin. This results in greater strength. Red causes hemoglobin to multiply, thus increasing energy.
PINK	Pink represents love, joy, happiness and romance. Pink awakens compassion, love and purity. It eases conditions of anger and feelings of neglect. Pink is comforting to the emotional energies of the individual and our environments.
ORANGE BROWN	Orange in the true color of the sun. Orange has a freeing action upon the body and mind. It combines physical energy with mental wisdom, inducing a transformation between lower physical reaction and higher mental response. Orange is warm, cheering, non-constricting. Through orange, we are able to heal the physical body and, at the same time, induce within the mind greater understanding on how the body may be kept in good repair.

As a Buddhist scripture suggests, we come to grips with the meaning of our life-world through six primary media: the eyes, the ears, the nose, the tongue, the body, and the idea. The former five elements, analogues of what we know as the five senses, govern the realm of matter, while the sixth elements falls into the realm of the mind. So, how does color influence us? First, color defines for us what exists and what does not exist. Second, color inspires emotions. Third, color also structures our behavior. It is hoped that a more refined attunement to environmental ch'i through the wise arrangement of color will help you to increase your happiness, enhance your wealth, and foster your marital harmony.
