How different colours affect your mood and energy




 How different colours affect your mood and energy

Why are the colours you choose for your clothing, home, cars and lifestyle so important in relation to energy? Because colour has a direct impact on the way you feel in every aspect, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and even sexually ...
We have spoken previously how colour is used in the home and businesses but how can you use it to your advantage?
The way you use colour and the choices you make will have a direct impact on the way you feel, as it triggers numerous responses. Generally the warmer colours boost energy and happiness, whilst the cooler colours encourage serenity and feelings of calm. It is also important to note the contradictory way we have been taught by society to react to colour for example red is used as road signs to show danger and traffic lights to stop, but as a colour of clothing you are instantly attracted to it as it commands attention and attraction , but a green traffic light which signifies it's safe to move forward will as a colour of clothing not be as magnetic and it is softer, therefore signifying calmness instead of excitement.
Here are the main colours and the impact they may have on your mood , colour therapy can help you understand this concept better but as a rule choose the colours you wear and surround yourself with carefully as they will impact your mood hugely.
Warm colours
Yellow : happiness, joy, optimism
Orange: positivity, warmth, enthusiasm
Red: passion, excitement, love
Cool colours
Green : calm, serenity , peace
Blue : balance, relaxation, quietens mind
Spiritual colours
Purple: magical, spirituality, royalty
White: purity, connection, innocence
Neutral colours
Brown: practicality, grounded , stability
Black: mourning, sophistication, power

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
