COLOR HEALING
Red can be utilized in different forms when applied in Color Healing (also called Color Therapy or Chromotherapy) to create balance and restore health in certain areas of the physical body as well as in the mental, emotional and spiritual areas. The most commonly used modalities include Crystal Therapy, Visualization, Color Silk Therapy, and Colorpuncture.
ATTRIBUTES
The color red is stimulating and energizing. It empowers, uplifts, and motivates. Red brings us courage, strength, stability and security. It can be helpful for overcoming tiredness and lethargy, for stimulating low blood pressure, and boosting sluggish circulation. Avoiding red for those who have high blood pressure, nervousness, and anxiety is strongly suggested. Because red stimulates the Base or Root Chakra located at the base of the spine, it triggers the adrenal glands to release adrenalin. This results in providing greater strength. Also, red light causes hemoglobin corpuscles to multiply, thus increasing energy, raising body temperature, and helping the body fight disease. Red color is said to be beneficial for anemia and blood-related conditions. It could loosen and open up clogs, and also release stiffness and constrictions. In addition, red is believed to stimulate ovulation and menstruation. NOTE: Never treat cancer with red, because this color will stimulate cell growth!
WEARING RED
Incorporating red into your wardrobe can suggest confidence, self-awareness, leadership qualities, strong will, determination, ambition, and spontaneity. In certain cultures red is believed to help manifest prosperity and wealth. Adding a red scarf to an outfit is a simple and affordable way to utilize color therapy on a budget.
RED IN THE HOME
Red excites the emotions. This color can lift the spirit and stimulate the appetite. It can be used in any activity area, but be careful as it can make a space look smaller and bring forth claustrophobia. However, if used well, red can make a room feel warm and cozy. Adding a red candle to your home can inspire color therapy attributes on a budget.
