Red in passion, green with envy, blue with gloom, blushing
in pink, white with fear, black with anger. There is a color for every mood so
no wonder that color therapy as a science would find takers.
Color therapy, a sort of alternative medicine that is low on
risk and high results, based on the chakras found in our body color therapy
advocates usage of colors to help you lead happier and relaxed life. Colors affect
us deeply, and its effects are remarkably obvious. Applying carefully planned
and considered principles of Color Therapy on your office or your home will
benefit you in the long term.
The first step in incorporating color therapy to your life
is to analyze the space you are in, what color it is? How you or your family
behave in that area? Do you like the color of that room or would like to change
it? If so, then to what color? Once you find answers to these questions, you
can start by thinking what effect do you want to bring about in that particular
room and which color will help you achieve that. For e.g red, yellow, orange are
colors that help you stimulate appetite, aid digestion and create a warm sociable
environment, so either of these colors can be used in the dining room. Yellows
works really well with areas where you would be writing, thinking reading etc
as it promotes productivity and stimulates the mind, yellow also works at
entryways and living rooms, however keep in mind that too much yellow maybe induce
hyperactivity. So, to counterbalance it you can include a little blue in the
room.
Blue brings peace and tranquility, a little too much though
and you are looking to tiredness and gloom. Green is a color that is great
everywhere, use a splash of it in every room, you don’t need to splurge on painting
everything green, just get a bunch of plants and you are done.
Color therapy is a great way to enhance your life; however
it is not necessary that you paint every room in a different hue. You can
include accessories, cushion covers, curtains, paintings etc in the color of
your choice to bring the same benefits.
