Improve your mood using colour therapy

IN TERMS of colour therapy and how each colour has a significant meaning, there has been a standardisation of colours. It can have its own impact and associative memories in the new-age approach, and they can either elevate your mood or simply become a trigger.

Colour therapy has been used for health and wellness since ancient Egyptian times. Furthermore, light can be processed and perceived as colours by the eyes and brain. Nakshi Satra, founder of In:ha Wellness, explains how colour therapy act as a mood booster and how colour therapy could help improve overall health.

How does colour therapy act as a mood booster?

Based on my experiences with 3 000+ clients, the human eyes and brain trigger memories, perceptions, and emotions about experiences of memories for each individual differently.

Some colours have an associative memory of safety and precaution; some might have a bitter memory associated with them.

Many clients prefer black and white tones and associate these colours with their personality. Black and white can exude feelings of power, freedom, safety, protection.

Colours like red make strong statements and stand out, while blue has a calming and soothing effect and can help to increase focus. Green and pastel shades are often associated with nature, flora and fauna.

Teals, greys, oranges, whites and other English pastel colours are recent trends because they break the monotony of conservative environments and the regular way of life. They are appreciated because of the newness and urban freshness that they bring into our lives.

Colours also have negative associations and subconsciously we decide to block these colours from being in our homes or wardrobes. To get rid of such negative triggers, an emotional cleanse or release as a combination can help to disassociate from such memories and emotions, and this could eventually help to open up one's colour palettes.

How does colour therapy improve overall health?

Colours have a deep effect on our lives and including the right ones in our diet, homes, and wardrobes can really help to positively impact our overall health.

We must constantly work on incorporating colour palettes that are associated with positive feelings into our food, homes and wardrobes.

The healing quality of colours through rainbow eating also has an impact on overall health. The more you open up your colour palette, the more you can do with your life while progressing in your overall moods and health.
