Have a smoothie, do some yoga, but if you're wearing orange on a day that calls for calm, then say goodbye to any hope for holistic stability... We joke, of course, but when it comes to health hacks, understanding how color impacts our energy and mood is one of the easiest ways to bestow a little extra balance in those areas. Below, we're exploring the principles of color therapy with Bldg 25 contributor, Allie White, and learning how to apply this healing modality in a practical way...
Remember that moment in “Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy wakes up after the tornado and everything is vibrant and bold and exciting (especially after 30 minutes spent in dreary, grey Kansas)? Or in “Pleasantville” when the town’s citizens start experiencing life for the first time and color seeps in? Black-and-white films of yore are romantic and mysterious, but there’s a reason movie studios eventually moved to Technicolor—color is crazy-powerful, and has the ability to evoke a serious emotional response, even if you don’t know it’s happening.
Whether you’re painting the walls of your bedroom, deciding between outfits for a date, or are just generally interested in chromotherapy, you too can use the power of color to your advantage.
Woke up feeling run down? Opt for that yellow sweater hanging in the back of your closet for a boost of energy and inspiration. Big presentation coming up that you’re not feeling so hot about? A pair of gold shoes will trigger self-confidence and a sense of authority. Picking out colors for your meditation room? Violet walls can be soothing for both mental and emotional stress.
To take full advantage of color in your life, read on (and dress accordingly): [olists num=1]
