Color And Your Environment!
Colors and our homes/work environment/clothes..you never know how important color is until you make a conscious decision to check it out. This is exactly what I did today...wanted to check out if the color of my bedroom could have any reflection on why I cannot sleep well. I know part of my problem is stress, the other is my night-time travels...but that inner voice of mine is nagging at me that it's more. So I did some research and this is what I found:
RED - this color stimulates the physical body: strength, courage, health vigor and sexuality. Not a good color for a child’s room. Not a decent color for an adults bedroom UNLESS you desire an increase in sexual stimulation - then go for it! In the dinning room it will encourage people to eat - so if you are on a diet this is a no go. In a living room its good for stimulating movement and activity. I know in my sisters red living room it is hard to sit still for any length of time!
ORANGE - warm and simulating, but a higher vibration than red. This is a happy, social color as it promotes optimism, emotional balance, confidence, and a sense of community. This is good in any room where people will gather to socialize and have fun. My dinning room is a warm pumpkin and it is very inviting!
YELLOW - stimulates the intellect as well as communication. It is associated with organization, attention to detail, discipline, praise, harmony and good luck. This is a great color to use in a home office (especially if you are a counselor), a kitchen and even in a bedroom as it promotes positive feelings and contributes to the development of thought process.
GREEN - this wonderful color stimulates feelings of balance, harmony, peace, growth and hope. You can use green in any room as it is restful but energizing! If you decide to use it in the bathroom (which I did), use a bright spring or clean and clear leaf green rather than a darker or khaki green.
BLUE - it stimulates inspiration, creativity, contentment and patience. A light blue bedroom is good for an energetic child’s room (this is what I used in my son’s room as my guides told me to). This also works for a mediation or relaxation room.
PURPLE - this energizers our spiritual perspective and intuition. It is a powerful color and you shouldn’t paint a whole room this color - unless it is a nice light violet. This color is good in any room where healing is done - especially spiritual healing. This also works in a mediation room. My goal, eventually, is to paint my home office violet (purple and blue) and yellow.
WHITE - can be purifying and has the energy to transform our imaginations. This color works well in any room. But make sure you use colored accessories and don’t make the home a predominance of white as that tends to make the home feel unfriendly.
BLACK - this color focus attention to our inner world. It is a silent and still color. To paint any room all black can be overwhelming. But to have black accessories can accent and define a room.
My bedroom is a light Red (almost a Pink - it was there when we moved in 6 years ago)...so it has the red that is great for passion, but hard to calm the mind down. So I think that I am in need of a change -- maybe a nice yellow or blue with purple accessories? I don't know....but what I do know is that I have to do something. I'm tired of being tired:)
I think that I'll check out some paint chips at the local Lowe's!
