"Exploring Colours in Our Life " - Weekly Wisdoms: Week 17 August 2020
“Trails of glorious colour surround our hearts on the days of spring, when hearts are open and full of life. Such are the rainbow-coloured auras surrounding our being.”
Each of us has an energy about us. At times, this can be one of vibrancy, such as during springtime when we see the colourful blooms of the flowers.
We take this influence into our demeanour and as a choice of colour in our clothing. This is also the case when we feel down on cloudy, grey days, when perhaps we dress in darker colours.
Our aura also changes with our feelings, thoughts and consciousness. When we are vibrant, openhearted and full of life our surrounding energy also becomes vibrant, light and welcoming like a rainbow of 'glorious colour'. (1)

Colours in Our Life:
The pure magic of colour is something I personally discovered many years ago and I am still conscious about daily. At the time I was searching for a tool to help me express positivity in a way that was tangible and creative. Having discovered Louise Hay and her teachings, I began working on going inwardly and connecting with my inner voice. Surprisingly, during this exploration I re-discovered my love of drawing, painting and of course in time, the healing power of colour. I experienced great joy when I started to paint, intuitively using colours that I needed to have surrounding me. I discovered when I explored this further through colour therapy, the chakras and auras, that these specific colours were helping with healing my energy, past hurts and of course, me.
Colours surround us in our daily lives, many times going unnoticed as we all sprint though our day getting from one place to another. But if we stop and take notice of all that surrounds us we will see the shimmering light embracing every aspect of nature’s beauty. The colours of each leaf, plant, flower, tree, the sky and the sea all soothe the eyes and our hearts as we breathe in the air and their subtle energy. So too, the colours of the clothes we wear, from the inside out, also help our own energic vibration to be lifted and help keep us in a state of wellness.
Colours can help to express many things for example in my painting “Sacred Union” (2) which I’ve used as the Artwork for my “Heart Songs Inspiration Card” Deck, the colours it contains(3) offer a variety of energies individually but, in unison the expression is of unconditional love, calmness, expansion and hope. The viewer, as I've been told, feels bathed by these energies emanating from the painting and the warmth that they bring. At the time of painting this piece, I was healing a broken heart and was looking for a way forward to a new beginning. The process in combination with the colours I used actually did soothe me and allow for a new focus in my life.
So, consider how you are feeling and bring the colours into your day to brighten it. Feel a sense of lightness, love and be comfortable in your own skin. Focussing on the area of your body that is feeling in need will give you a clue as to which colour to contemplate, focus on and work with. (For further insights into using colour for healing, “The Secret Language of Your Body” (4) explores this in a more detailed way.)
“Sacred Union” by Lena A. Matheas (Original Artwork used for “Heart Songs Inspiration Card”)
“Colour will help balance your emotions and restore your wellbeing.... if you feel low on energy or emotional...breathe in the vibration of each colour until you feel that colour vibrate in every part of your body. Allow each colour to flow through your mind as you affirm: I AM a violet flame; I AM a blue flame; I AM a pink flame; I AM a green flame; I AM a yellow flame; I AM an orange flame; I AM a ruby red flame; I AM a white flame; I AM a golden flame; I AM a silver flame.” (5)
So, with all this in mind , “enjoy being a human rainbow every day, by letting your thoughts (mind), behaviour (actions) show through acts of kindness (heart).” (6)
Love and blessings to you all.
