The Color of Life

The Color of Life

Celebrate Life... in full color!


Color is a vital force, it is a manifestation of the Divine Mind, the original cosmic vibration. We relate to color through sensation and translate what we can see by how we feel and react towards a specific color. With every word, thought and action you enrich your life with colors.
The way you love and learn is color itself.
Throughout life we use them as a cues for interpreting what we see, grey hair tells us of middle age; grey landscapes speak of cities; a red apple tells us of ripeness; a red traffic light brings us to a halt.

The spoken word is perhaps our most creative expression.

Color is also strongly linked with emotions, the emotions add color to the words and often render the literal meaning useless while managing to get the message across clearly. By describing people as "green with envy", "purple with rage", "yellow with cowardice", or "seeing red", we are using common color associations that may have more truth than we realize. These associations are only a small part of our lifelong relationship with colour.

We live by the rhythm of color.

We live by the rhythm and tempo of color changes indicating the passage of time and the cycle of the seasons. For instance as the day passes, the daylight colors change, the deep blue of the sky before dawn gives way to the paler blue light that permeates mornings, this is followed by the more yellow hue of the afternoon and then the red light of the evening when the sun sets. These changes can be so gradual and steady that they are barely noticeable, but nonetheless they color our awareness of the passing day.
However, many of us live in houses that offer light at any time of the day or night, and heat or coolness throughout the year, and so to some extent we lose contact with the natural rhythms of the daily and yearly cycle.

Each day you are touched by the color of humanity and nature.

The air you breathe, the ground under your feet, the Sun, the Moon and the stars - all are vibrating their own particular color essence that both sets them apart and unites them with you as one, in the essence of life itself. Being able to use colors consciously and harmoniously can help you create spectacular results on all levels. Visualizing and meditation with color is very powerful if it is worked with regularly.
Even seasons highlight very different colors, with the fresh, brand new greens of spring darkening as summer progresses, and then providing an inferno of orange, yellow and gold as autumn settles in only a few months later. Winter launches into an austere note, with few remaining vibrant colors, and sometimes a smattering of snow that eradicates the lingering green, reducing the outlook to a simple contrast between darkness and light.

Colour is the celebration of life!

If you travel to any part of the world you can see this celebration in action. People from all walks of life are creating a colorful existence in all manner of ways: painting their faces, performing rituals, telling stories, creating statues and monuments, designing costumes and fashion clothes, staging theatre and musical productions, inventing objects, enhancing their environment and so on.
History too tells colorful tales through archaeological sites, architecture, art and literature. Today we marvel at the cleverness of people who created the Pyramids and the Parthenon thousands of years ago.
Light and its constituent, color have a strong effect on physical, mental, and emotional levels whether we realize it or not and color can be used to help heal many aspects of your life.

Celebrate life, celebrate color!
