Color Therapy

Everything is made up of electromagnetic energy that vibrates at a certain frequency to create its various aspects, such as color, light, or sound. Colors are attracted to us. We do not choose our favorite color simply because we like it; rather, the color is drawn to us depending on the balance needed within our life. The purpose of all healing is to create the perfect balance in ourselves and color helps us to achieve that.

 We are attracted to colors in all areas of our lives, including clothes, accessories, home furnishings, and even food. We connect with certain wavelengths based on destined attraction, yet we seem to be increasingly ungrateful to the power and purpose of color; instead, focusing our efforts on external beauty and coordination, rather than the depth of a color's intentions.

 Here is an example of how to look at things differently...

An amazingly beautiful summer salad...

The colors of the various ingredients make it delightfully appetizing to the eye, as well as the stomach. However, the purpose of these colors is not only to make the salad pretty, but to heal us from the inside-out. 

The brightness of the oranges creates balance. The color is used to increase immunity (hence their inclusion of vitamin C) and to help in all digestive ailments (coinciding with the help provided by their fibrous membranes). 

The red of the cranberries denotes its readiness as a ripe fruit. We associate the color red with love and passion, which contributes to its beauty and attractiveness in food. 

The green of the lettuce leaves draws an immediate association to nature. Green is commonly linked to regeneration, fertility, and rebirth for its connections to the natural world. Symbolically, it is representative of the fourth chakra, the heart, which displays a link to one's health. Therefore, showing a positive correlation to the effects on the body after consuming green foods.

Color is more than just color. 

We all have a general understanding or interpretation of what each color represents, so look at your food from a different angle the next time you sit down to a meal and you may discover what your mind, as well as your body, is truly craving.
