Color Healing

"Sensation of Crimson" by Rassouli

Color healing is an easy practice that can assist you in relieving a variety of discomforts, from physical pain to emotional distress. People have been generally aware of the power of color since the dawn of time, noticing its effects on the emotional state. 

Not everyone is a natural healer, although one can develop the skill with practice like any other. However, everyone is able to heal themselves - it's part of their birthright, so to speak. If it helps, ask for assistance from your spirit team or your angels. This will give you an extra boost.

First, we'll discuss our symbolism for the various colors. This in no way has to represent your own symbolism, since different colors mean different things to people, but we're generally following symbolism we resonate with, which is taken from our understanding of chakras and auras.

+ Red/orange shades are very passionate and energetic. They will both give you an energy boost. Red can be used for feelings of insecurity as well as blood/circulation problems, and orange for creativity.

+ Yellow is a very happy but also intellectual color. You can use it to uplift your spirits or even as a "study booster" to help you focus on tasks. 

+ Green is a general healing color, but is more earth/nature-related. It's best to use if you're looking for healing vibes from earth. 

+ Blues and violets/purples are very soothing and calming and are good for relieving stress and anxiety. The latter are good for connecting to the divine. 

+ Pink is a good heart-healer.

+ Any colors around the white portion of the spectrum (including silver) are very purifying and heal all ailments. This is more "divine" healing, which can nurture and replenish you as a soul.

+ Brown tones are good colors for grounding because of their earthiness. 

+ Don't be afraid to use black. Black is a good protective color, which is why people use darker stones to draw in negativity.

+ Don't forget to use rainbow! It's a combination of all colors, so it takes all of their healing attributes and amplifies them. It's also a great "color" for lifting your spirits.

Now for application. 

A good method to start is to draw in white light from the universe through the crown of your head and to let it flow down and around through your body until it creates a "circuit." As the light flows, try to "feel" out any possible blockages - physical or non-physical - and keep the white light flowing to help them dissolve. 

At this point, you can apply as many other colors as you wish - whatever you need. You can extend onto this method and transform the white light to another color, or you can visualize the color emanating from your dominant hand in whatever place needs it. The point is to be creative, and to believe that it's working. The color is your creation. 

Creating shields of colored lights can also be a good way to look after yourself during the day. Colors can even be layered up for an extra boost. Keep in mind that color healing doesn't necessarily have to be confined to visualizing colored lights. It can include applying color to a room, or wearing a certain color for its effect. Eating colored foods and carrying around crystals also helps. It all depends on what you're willing to do.

Happy healing!
