Color affects us whether we know it or not. Our daily existence is colored by words of color such as, "I'm so angry, I see red". "He's talking up a blue streak"," He is yellow" meaning he is a coward, and on and on.

Everything around us has color and effects us in some way. We are so used to being surrounded by color that we don't realize that we are being affected by color, but we are.

We all have an aura around us, which is a field of energy that is made up of colors. When our aura is balanced, strong and pure, we feel happy and are healthy. When they are out of balance and washed out, we feel depressed and have ill health.

Everything has color for a reason. I personally feel that one reason for color is for harmony and balance in the human being. God gave us color for a reason. We have forgotten the reasons and forgotten how to use color to our best advantage.

Each color has a positive and negative side. Positive colors are the bright, pure colors. Dull, washed out colors tend to be negative. The following is a list of colors and their attributes.

Red--vigor, energy/anger domineering. Orange--vitality,self-control/Lazy, don't care attitude. Yellow--happy friendly/timid,indecisive. Green-healing,helpful/deceitful. Blue-contemplation,peaceful/struggle toward maturity. Indigo-spiritual seekers/stubborn. Violet-spiritual leaders/overbearing. White-perfect color, all balanced.

How to use colors? There are many ways in which to use color. Here are just a few.

If you want to appear strong and mature on a job interview for instance, wear medium blue. If you need to feel peaceful, put on a blue lightbulb, wear something blue, and put on blue jewelry. The more you can surround yourself with your needed color, the more affect it will have. If you are feeling depressed or need energy, wear red, yellow or orange. Surround yourself with these colors in every way that you can.

The original reason for wearing jewels was not because they were pretty, but because they generated certain types of vibrations which were used for health reasons. For instance, if someone needed to fill loved, they would wear a pink stone such as a rose quartz. For peaceful feelings, they wore sapphire. For energy, they would wear rubies, and so on.

Food also has color and can be used in a different way. Some believe that if you want to lose weight, you should eat only foods that are red, gold, yellow, orange or white. To gain weight, eat foods which are blue, blue-green, greenish yellow or brown in color.

Colors are also related to certain parts of the body and planets among other things which are too numerous to mention in this newsletter.
