The power of "colors"......are you in the mood?

Colors have an amazing effect on our mind, which eventually leads to an overall impact on our body.  Imagine being able to look at color and have it affect the way you feel, eat, think, sleep and interact.  Believe me….it does.

Red versus pink:  Red stimulates our adrenal glands, elevates our blood pressure and helps us to become strong while increasing our stamina.  Pink on the other hand calms our mind and relaxes our body.

Orange:  Elevates our emotional well being including our sex drive, immune system and attitude (positive versus negative).

Yellow:  Stimulates the brain, making us more alert and decisive.  It also helps to active our lymph system, which assists with our natural defense against disease and infection.

Green:  Relaxing, lazy and subdued…that’s how to describe the color green on our brain.  A great color for our heart and for our nervous system (helps our brain calm down).

Blue:  An overall calming effect, blue helps lower our blood pressure, affects our throat and thyroid gland, affects our pituitary gland which in turn regulates our sleep pattern.

Purple:  Suppresses hunger while balancing our metabolism.  Also calms our fears/anxieties, while stimulating our “right brain” thinking patterns (creativity, imagination, intuition).

Brown:  Security, stability and home.  Brown is definitely color that “grounds” us (literally).

White:  Peaceful, pure and open…..but also can create a cold and empty feeling.  Too much white can leave you feeling alone.  But a balance of white can make you feel more stable and secure.

Grey:  A color in complete contrast with itself, grey can elevate your sense of self reliance but can also make you feel uninvolved.
