All the colours from white and black and every colour in-between....

I have to clarify something, I love the colour WHITE! White is very bright and since it reflects light, it helps to illumiate dull areas in our lives. White contains all the colours of the spectrum so when we see white, we are actually viewing all the energy of the visible colour spectrum.

White is associated with purity, spirituality, innocence, cleanliness, and clarity and at its most positive, is beneficial, humanitarian and wise. Its negative qualities (and yes everything has an opposite) include superiority, an inability to compromise and perfectionism. Healers sometimes use white light when they are not sure which specific colour should be used because white will contain the colour that they need. White is connected with the crown chakra but doesn't have a complementary colour in the eight-colour system.

Where white reflects, BLACK on the other hand, absorbs because it swallows up light. (I guess that is where the saying 'it's either black or white' comes from.) And you can tell this very easily on a hot a day, white clothes makes us feel cooler but black makes us hotter.

Black suggests infinity and mystery and it is the colour of endless possibilities. It signifies the end of one cycle and the start of the next and it is pretty darn good at making a body look slimmer than it actually is. ;)

The positive qualities of Black include power and change. Its negative qualities include depression, despair and a desire to abuse our power. Black is connected with the root chakra especially for grounding but is never used for healing and also has no complementary colour in the eight-colour system.

So there is nothing wrong with the colour Black and nothing wrong with the colour White per se, it is only when one is out of balance....ie...too much white or too much black....that changes ones state of mind....as in too much White snow this past winter. Think about how uplifting it would be to look at that snowbank...the one you have been watching get bigger seemingly right before your eyes...and see a spash of red or yellow or pink going right through the center of it...visualize that for just a moment and notice how your mood brightened and how excited you became when seeing that splash of colour.

That is part of the power of Colour and it only gets more amazing from here.....
