How to Use Colors in Your Everyday Life to Heal Yourself.

Updated: Oct 18, 2022

In this post, we will explore the importance of colors in our lives and how they can help us achieve a better mood.


Colors are one of the most powerful tools to heal your mind, body and soul. They have been used for thousands of years in different cultures to improve moods, create feelings of calmness or happiness and create a sense of well-being.


Today, colors are used more than ever before - not only in clothes but also on walls, furniture and even food!

You can use colors in your everyday life to heal yourself and others.


The human eye is able to see a range of colors from red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Colors can have a strong effect on the mood of people. For example, red is often associated with anger or passion while blue is associated with feelings of sadness or depression.


There are many ways you can use colors in your everyday life to heal yourself and others.


For instance, if you want to feel more energized and happy then wear bright colors like blue or yellow.

If you want to feel calm then wear lighter shades like pink or lavender.


Colors are like words, they do more than just help you describe things - they can be used to create a mood, tell someone how you feel, and look down deep into what someone is really feeling.


The first thing our eyes notice when we enter a room or see an object is the color.

The colors our eyes can perceive are like words, which form a subtle language of mood, energy and insight. Color has a different effect on people; in some it can trigger emotions, in others it might make them feel calm. It could affect how we think and even change our attitudes.


You may not realize it, but the color you surround yourself with has an effect on your mood. The key is to choose colors that help put you in a positive frame of mind and keep your body healthy.


The consequences of the decision to paint a room or wear a specific article of clothing therefore goes beyond aesthetics. The colors you encounter throughout your day can make you feel happy or sad, invigorate you or drain your vitality, and even affect your work habits.


Over time, many cultures attributed meanings to different colors. For example, people in China see blue as an indication of immortality while the Middle East sees blue as a color of protection.


There is also evidence that human beings respond to color in a very visceral way.


Red is really exciting and can inflame your passions.

Too much red, however, can overstimulate you and make you irritated. Pink brings up feelings of love and protection but also lethargy when too much pink is used. Yellow stimulates joy or optimism and in moderation can bring lightening and happiness.


Using the color red can trigger a sense of passion, sexuality, or leadership and can also create a sense of intimidation. Yellow is often linked with creativity. Bright orange reduces depression and sadness. Blue and green are known to inspire peaceful feelings, and people are often able to concentrate better and work in rooms painted in soft blues and greens.

The darker tones of both colors can make you feel serious and introspective.

There are ways to integrate color into your life that go beyond picking the hues of your decor and your wardrobe.


You can meditate with color by concentrating on the colors that make you feel peaceful or using a progression of colors to symbolize a descent into a relaxed state.

Color breathing involves visualizing certain colors as you in inhale and exhale.


Choose colors that you're attracted to and find make you feel good.



This is an easy way for you to create the environment that nurtures, calms, and uplifts.
