For me they are one in the same, because I Love Colour! My wardrobe looks like a ménage of rainbows made off like spring rabbits in my closet, really. I have always been attracted to colour, getting lost in the vivid hues, sipping and slipping in between the rays that create this world of white light. First in my closet, then on my walls and because I couldn’t get enough; I had to draw, paint, shade, throw and smudge colour across every medium I could get my little art addicted fingers into. My poor mother was gifted a ‘crayon meets wall’ Picasso and I was walking before age one!!
It is no wonder that years later, I would discover our powerful relationship with colour. Yet, still have issues packing an overnight bag and not three rainbows from my closet. I struggle packing clothes for tomorrow because I only know what I want to wear right NOW. The key is that I choose the colours I wear, based on HOW I FEEL, presently, just like I paint. Fortunately, our instincts/intuition serves us quite well, when we let it do its’ thing, question-free.
You will probably find that the colour you most often gravitate towards is exactly what you need energetically.
Last issue, we discussed why colour is healing; now we will look at how you can effectively colour your world with healing intent!
