To Think About:
"Color has power. It can stimulate or sedate, excite or calm, feel hot or cold, irritate or bring pleasure, generate feelings or passion or uplift us spiritually. Understanding color opens a new dimension to our awareness," write Howard and Dorothy Sun, the creators of Living Colour, a color awareness and personal growth organization in the UK. They have won international acclaim for their pioneering work over the past 20 years.
A color reflection reading enables you to use your color preferences as an indicator of your personality traits. The Suns are convinced that this process works on many levels — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
An example: The Treasures in Turquoise
• "You usually project a calm and cool exterior, and are capable of dealing with demanding events. You have an attitude which allows you to 'take it in your stride' and you tend not to panic."
• "This sparkling, articulate color has an attentive, open-minded quality which emanates well-being. It is liberal, helpful, and triumphant."
• Isolation and separation are negative aspects of this color.
• Turquoise is especially good for skin problems and relieving stress.
• Turquoise is not recommended for people with sluggish or underactive conditions.
