Colour continuously impacts us every day of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not! From the clothes we wear to the colour of the food we eat, we are continuously (consciously or subconsciously) bringing colours into our life to support our well-being and light up our life. Read on to find out the power of colour and how you can use it to benefit your life.
Understanding Colour
We can use the full rainbow spectrum of colours to keep our bodies healthy and correct any imbalances that we might be experiencing. When we have a greater awareness of the qualities of specific colours, it becomes easier to understand why the associated colour of a crystal can be so beneficial.
Each colour has its own energy and frequency and will have a specific impact on us psychologically, emotionally and physiologically. We can be drawn to some colours and repelled by others, but we need to work with both.
So let's start at the bottom and work our way up! This means that we are beginning with colours that have a more dense vibration and as we progress the frequency will continue to rise, culminating with the colour that has the highest vibration at the end.
Black
Black absorbs light and suggests infinity and mystery. However, black isn't always dark and dense. It can be filled with all manner of sparkles and pearlescent light filled energy.
Black signifies power and change, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. It helps to see the possibilities inherent in new situations and to make the most of them.
The colour black is divinely feminine in nature and is always grounding and protective.
Black crystals include:
Shungite,
