Colorostrology
Color therapy (newly titled colorstrology) is only now just starting to gain its
much desired respect and confidence.
Michele Bernhardt
has put together an invaluable
reference
book on every day of year and it's corresponding color. Let's take a look
at some random examples today's date is the 12th of January... let's see what
she has to say about that:...
12 January:
Color: Gingerbread: You are creative and artistic and have a look and
style that people find interesting. There seems to be something about you
that is uniquely your own...
how about newagestore.com's birthdate?... 25-nov-1998
25
November: Color: Mauve Orchid: You can appear flexible and accommodating
but you never take your eye off the ball. No matter how congenial you seem
to be, you know where you are going and how you will get there. It is
important that you bless each step...
and finally a totally random date... the 1st of July
1
July: Color: Daffodil: Some of the most kind and generous people are
born on this day. You have an unusual mixture of inner tenderness
and extroverted star quality. Balancing both sides of your nature will
keep you busy...
So if your looking for a highly entertaining "coffee table",
"dinner party conversation starter", informative book, then this is one
you must ad to your collection!
Here's a nice simple (and cheap) way to benefit from color
therapy.
If you need some perking up and you find that you could do with a good dose of
orange (and not too many of us have an orange jumper or even a shirt in the
cupboard), buy some orange (or which ever color you need) cellophane paper, wrap it around a glass of chilled
water and set it in the sun, allow it to stand for 10 minutes or until you feel
that the warmth of the sun (and your chosen healing color) have penetrated the
water and then simply drink from the glass, as you drink concentrate on the
orange warmth entering and healing your body.
Below you will find colors and their meanings... you can always combine your
colors to help you achieve your goals. Another great way to focus your energies
is combining crystals and colors.
In the immortal words of Carol King...
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hues
an ever lasting vision of the ever changing view
a wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
a tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

The Seven Basic Chakras (some
of the following content courtesy of wikipedia)
In Hinduism and its spiritual systems a chakra is described as essentially an
energy node in the human body.
The word comes from the Sanskrit cakra meaning "wheel, circle", and sometimes
also referring to the "wheel of life". The pronunciation of this word can be
approximated in English by chuhkruh, with ch as in chart and both instances of a
as in yoga (the commonly found pronunciation shockrah is incorrect).
The seven main chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column
from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated
with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an aspect of consciousness, a
classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics.
The chakras are thought to vitalise the physical body and to be associated with
interactions of both a physical and mental nature. They are considered loci of
life energy, or prana, which is thought to flow among them along pathways called
nadis.
Traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture also relies on a similar model
of the human body as an energy system. Why not consider purchasing a
Chakra Gemstone necklace for true Chakra Balancing.
