Natural Magic

All things are made up of energy and in return everything reacts to it. Colors correspond to sound and light. Subconsciously we are drawn to certain colors that we need to reach balance and healing. This can be colors that we call our “favorites”, colors we like to wear, colors we paint our homes, or the color of your favorite food. At the same time color plays a part in our health, our emotions, and our wellbeing.

Numerous studies have been done to prove the theory that color has a strong affect on us. Classrooms painted blue calmed disruptive and aggressive children. The Johns Hopkins Medical University in Baltimore, found that surrounding overweight patients with pink suppressed the appetite and stopped stress related snacking. Violent prisoners who were placed in pink cells were dramatically calmer. And that’s not all. There have been many more studies which have proved the theory.

You can easily apply the benefits the color spectrum by wearing certain colors in your wardrobe. Change them to fit your day, what you want to achieve, and how you want to feel.
