Alchemical Voice - L2M Issue 15 WHAT IS COLOUR? Liza Nightingale This is one of my favourite times of the year! The days are longer and the sun sits high in the sky. We get more time to be outside and enjoy nature with all it’s healing light and vibrancy. With the intensity of the sunlight, we experience colour in all its glory. Colour is all around us in the flowers, the deep greens of the leaves on the trees, the blue of the sky and sea – and not forgetting the clothes that we wear, the food we eat and the homes that we live in. What is ‘colour’? ……… The Universe is a magnetic field of positive and negative charges which are constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic waves. Each of these has a different wavelength and speed of vibration; which together form the electromagnetic spectrum. The radiant energy of pure white sunlight is a vital factor in nourishing our minds, and our spirits, and each ‘colour’ vibration has its own healing qualities. Red has the longest wavelength we can see and it has the slowest frequency of vibration. It’s magnetic energy is warming and stimulating. Violet has the shortest wavelength and the quickest vibration. It is cooling and cleansing. We don’t just ‘see’ colour, we ‘feel’ it deeply too, as light enters our body through our skin. The vibrational quality of each colour has an impact on the energies within our bodies and also affects our moods and emotions. The psychology of colour has always fascinated me. We often use colour references to describe our emotions and how we are feeling. For example, when we are feeling a bit low, we may say we are “feeling blue”, or when we are angry, we “see red”. The Chakra System within our bodies also has colours associated to each of the energy centres. Red for our Root Chakra, through to Violet or clear White for our higher Chakras. Being aware of these colour associations to our chakras can be helpful if we wear or place colours over these areas to aid in supporting and healing them. 12

Wearing a corresponding coloured garment or placing a piece of fabric over the chakra areas you wish to focus on, will amplify the vibrational frequency to boost and rebalance. (I find that having scarves in different colours is very useful for this purpose). If I feel that I need to be more grounded and stable in my very foundations, then I will wear red underwear to support the Root Chakra at the base of my spine. Working from the inside out, the colours that we choose to wear, also support our well-being. The way that we wear our colours also gives subconscious messages to those around us. There is a reason that people in positions of authority, eg, police officers and judges – wear black and white. This is the most ‘authoritative’ that you can look. Whenever there is a big contrast between light and dark colours, we will always come across more authoritatively. Sometimes this is useful but when you are trying to be more friendly and approachable, then wearing black and white is not a good choice! By choosing colours that ‘blend and harmonise’ with our natural colouring, we have a healthy glow and look less fatigued. The wave-lengths from our most flattering colours (especially those items worn near the face), help us to present ourselves with confidence. YOU ARE THE GIFT! Wrap yourself in colours that flatter and give out the most positive messages you wish to convey to others. Equally the colours that we decorate our homes in need our consideration, as they too affect our physical, emotional and mental health. Especially when we are in times of stress, ill-health or low mood, by carefully choosing the colours that surround us, we are indirectly caring for ourselves. Some examples of colours in the home are yellow for study areas as it aids concentration and stimulates the brain. Blues and greens are colours associated with nature and promote relaxation, calm and space – ideal for bedrooms and the areas where you wish to de-stress. Lots to consider! Take a breath and really look at all the colours around you. 13 Perhaps you will look at them in a slightly different way and be aware of which colours make you feel vibrant and alive, and those that are not serving you so well?
