Other Ways of Seeing
Colours
"Some blind people can tell you what colour something is by holding their
hand just above it."
"Some of you might not believe me but it is most definitely true.
"
"The way they do it, is by feeling the vibration that comes from the
colour."
Colours vibrate at different frequencies and just because, under normal
circumstances, we have not developed our senses enough to feel them, doesn't
mean it isn’t so.
Colours affect us whether we like it or not and so we would do well to
be careful in what we choose to use, and how much of it where.
Colour has been used in healing in different cultures over thousands of
years. Colours in light, in crystals, and in decoration.
Some bits and pieces to whet your appetite.

So what can you do with that information then. Well have a think about

available.
There is no definitive table this
comes from The book of Crystal Healing by Liz Simpson

In Feng Shui each individual
is considered to be influenced by the heavens and the earth. They take
astrological data into account to help identify precise directions and orientations which will be most favorable. This is a
serious science
We tell you this merely to justify another little venture into the world of colour associations. This is just for fun,
