COLOR:

  The conscious and purposeful use of color can be very supportive.  Different colors vibrate at higher or lower frequencies.  Brown for example is a lower vibration color and is great for relaxing because it is earthy and resonates in your physical body. Red and orange vibrate at higher frequencies so they are great for amping up your energy.  Blues and greens are wonderful calming colors because they are more neutral mid range vibrations. 

These are very broad guidelines because of course all colors can be cool or warm, relaxing or energetic.  Think of yellow-green vs. blue-green and you’ll know what I mean.  You will also notice the feeling in your body is different when you think of those different greens.  The truth is that a color’s affect on you is totally up to you.  Color affects you based on your memory.  Let’s take the color red.  In the practice of Feng Shui red is the color that moves or stops Chi. It is also associated with the element of fire and corresponds to the Fame and Reputation area of the Bagua.  In a traditional color chart red is the color of passion, strength, energy, sexuality, courage and drive.  However one of my memories of red is seeing votive holders full of lighted candles in an old church and the feeling of sanctuary and safety they gave me. 

So the experience of color is sacrosanct or individual and can be very empowering.  That is why I love the Moroccan lanterns we offer.  The rich jewel toned glass illuminated by candlelight is awesome. The effect is up to you! Based upon your intention, calming, romantic, exotic, warm or safe colors will work for you!  Set the mood you want to experience and notice how it makes you feel.  Remember, you are creating your sanctuary!
