Color Medicine

I believe in the healing power of color. I believe it helps us to face hard moments in soft ways. Color is grace. Color is comfort. It’s power. Color is also disquiet. Unpredictability. And at times, color can even feel distasteful or ugly. Color is both opulence and poverty, bright and dull, light and shadow. Color is a reflection of everything, just as we are.

In an instant, color can change how we feel about anything from furniture and living spaces to businesses and even our own bodies. Color formulates our opinions before we have even consciously acknowledged that we’ve formed an opinion at all. If you want to change the energy of anything in your life, all you have to do is change its color. . If you were to pause for a moment and think about how color affects you and your body, I invite you to consider this:

• Which colors feel protective?
• Which feel nurturing?
• Which colors help you to soften?
• Which colors make you feel powerful?
• Which exude grace?
• Which colors incite laughter and play?
• And which encourage your generosity

There are very few things we can control right now if anything at all. Life is extremely unpredictable and unpredictability makes the nervous system uncomfortable. Discomfort is food for fear and fear, my friends, is feasting.

I believe we can disarm our fears with color. We can prevent it from languishing in our chests, and from leaving its sediment in our bones. We can protect our spirits from fear just as a raincoat protects our body from the rain. Raincoats don’t ever stop the rain from falling. They don’t change what’s happening outside of us, they just change our experience with it.

Color may not be the cure to this virus but it can serve as a remedy for the fear. I’d like to invite you to make your own color palette and uncover your own color medicine. Once we learn which colors mean something to us, we can then begin to surround ourselves with those colors consciously. Consciousness is co-creation, and I can think of no better time than now to co-create a world we’re ready to live in.

Eyes open, hearts aware.
