Everyone is affected by colours, often more than they realise. Colour is intimately tied to all aspects of our life, especially to its visual aspects. It permeates our language, our culture and our health. We use colours to describe our physical well-being, our emotions, our attitudes, and our spiritual experiences.
There are some colours we like more than others and there are some we do not like at all. Instinctively we are drawn to the colours that we most need at any particular time. Colour can be used to alter our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual conditions.
If you don’t know the colours that suit you best, the following tables may help. They show the links between colours and our chakras, as well as our monthly birthstones. You can use these as a guide, but remember, they are just a guide. Always go with the colours you feel most comfortable with, as they will generally be the ones you need at the time.
