Guide to Heal with Colour

Colour has a silent means of connecting to us that we cannot usually do using words. It forces us to be here, in the present, without any effort or anticipation, and it allows the mind to relax. That is why colouring may be such a healer; it helps us forget about our daily stress and concentrate on our creative awareness.

When you sit down to colour, there is no need to perform. You have no rules to learn and no correct and incorrect decisions. The only thing you do is pick a colour and start filling a space and get your breathing into a rhythm. This creatively small gesture turns into a kind of mindfulness, assisting in mellowing down your thoughts and soothing your body.

Different colours may also affect your mood. Soft blues and greens tend to provide a feeling of harmony and tranquility. Positive energy can be promoted by using warm colors such as yellows and oranges which can boost the mood. Soft pinks and purples can be soothing and meditative. Intuitive choice in colour means that you are starting to react to what you require emotionally at that time.

You can also notice that as you colour, your head also becomes quieter. This is where the process of healing slowly starts; not with force, but with time. When combined with a positive thought or an affirmation, the experience is even more constructive, which strengthens the feeling of confidence, peace, and self-acceptance.

There is nothing artistic about healing with colour. It is only concerned with allowing yourself to rest, relax, and rejoin yourself with the help of creativity. This is a simple exercise that can be a little daily routine in a busy world and restore the balance of calmness, clarity and emotions.
