Color Magic
July 23, 2013
— color, magic
Color has magical qualities. Color plays a role in ritual, in design, and in folk medicine around the world. In Feng Shui customs, cures, and auspicious building sites are color coded. Color and love are symbolically entwined, intrinsically related. Emotions are influenced by color. What do your colors say about you?
- Do you wear the same colors all the time?
- Do you decorate with the same hues?
- Is your wardrobe organized, or randomly stored?
- Do you have strong identification with one color?
- Do you have intense dislike of any color?
Look around today to learn more about your sensitivity to your surroundings. An interesting exercise to try is choosing one color, then noticing how you encounter it during the day. Notice if it is in your food, your work, or your fashion. Pay attention to the way you feel when you run into this color. Does it throw you off balance in some emotional way? Does it have meaning of a symbolic nature?

I’m definitely going to start paying attention to this! While my decorating style in the apartment is a lot of brown leathers and slate grays, I do throw in pops of pink and orange in the forms of pillows and candles…love me a splash of color;-)
