Healing with the colour "Blue"

Everyone is affected by colours, often more than they realise. Colour is intimately tied to all aspects of our life, especially to its visual aspects. It permeates our language, our culture and our health. We use colours to describe our physical well-being, our emotions, our attitudes, and our spiritual experiences.

Today, a friend mentioned that the colour blue had suddenly "turned the power on" in a necklace she was creating for her mother who has a neck problem.

Blue is the colour of the Throat Chakra. It represents knowledge of, and oneness with, divine guidance. Governed by the thyroid gland, it looks after our neck, throat and jaw, vocal chords, respiratory system, alimentary canal and arms.

The throat chakra is our communication centre, thus giving us our ability to verbally express ourselves and to be able to have open, clear communication of feelings and thoughts. Ability to release. It is the gateway to the Higher Consciousness and the gateway through which the emotions contained in the heart pass, to become balanced and harmonised.

Blue is cooling, calming and relaxing to the body’s system. It quietens our energies and has an antiseptic effect. Strengthens and balances the respiratory system. Excellent for high blood pressure and all conditions of the throat. Eases diseases such as asthma, chicken pox, jaundice and rheumatism. Gives qualities of idealism, devotion and understanding. Adds perspective to your experiences. Blue awakens intuition and eases loneliness.
