How to introduce yellow/mustard to your life.


Colour therapy - yellow/mustard
When working with clients I know they feel colour by their body language. This is what inspired me to study colour therapy and introduce it to colour consultations.At this time of year yellow is entering our lives again through the sun and flowers. If it isn't your favourite colour to wear have a plant pot,flower or other accessory to look at as it a happy colour.

Healing properties: Yellow helps strengthen the nerves and the mind. It helps awaken mental inspiration and stimulates higher mentality. Thus, it is an excellent colour for nervous or nerve-related conditions or ailments. It also energizes the muscles. Dark yellow soothes pains in the nerves (shooting pains)
Yellow can be used for conditions of the stomach, liver, and intestines. Speeds up the digestion and assimilation, and the stool.
It helps the pores of the skin and aids scarred tissue in healing itself.
Yellow links with and stimulates the solar plexus, or psychic center. It can be used for psychic burnout or other psychic-related conditions or ailments. Activates and cheers up depressed and melancholic people. Gives lust for life.

The meaning of red and how to wear It ?

Berry Red Tartan
Having studied Colour Therapy and watched clients reaction to different colours especially red the following will explain the many facts about red. We all can wear red. In general Blue based Summer /Winter clients come to live in Berry Red whereas Spring/Autumn clients look wonderful in Tomato Reds.
Red is the colour of extremes. It’s the colour of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the colour of fire and blood – energy and primal life forces – and most of red’s symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past.
Red is also a magical and religious colour. It symbolized super-human heroism to the Greeks and is the colour of the Christian crucifixion. Red was almost as rare and as expensive as purple in ancient days – a fact that may explain its magic and power. Paradoxically, today’s intense red dyes come from crushed insects (the lac beetle and the cochineal).

Global Meanings of Red

Red’s global similarities are significant:
Red is one of the top two favourite colours of all people.
Red is the most popular colour used on flags in the world. Approximately 77% of all flags include red.
Red is the international colour for stop.
The history of languages reveals that red is the first colour after black and white. (All languages have words for black and white. If a third hue exists, it is red.)
Unique Meanings of Red in Different Cultures
Red Bridal Wear - Asia
Red is the colour of good luck in Asia and is the most popular color in China.
Most Japanese children draw the sun as a big red circle.
In East Asian stock markets, red is used to denote a rise in stock prices. (Note: In North American stock markets, red is used to denote a drop in stock prices.)
Red is an auspicious colour for marriage. Brides in India and Nepal wear red saris; in Japan, a red kimono symbolizes happiness and good luck.

Tomato red and Berry red
Yellow-based reds are “tomato” reds. Blue-based reds are “berry reds.” Some say that males are more attracted to the tomato reds: females to the berry reds.
