Take a minute and think about the colour that has recently
caught your eye. Then, choose a new and rewarding experience:
Red: Get rid of excess energy in a constructive
manner. Be active, very active! Take up
an adventure sport like rock climbing or scuba diving. Join the kids rollerblading
on the beachfront or at the ice-skating rink. Ballroom dancing and belly dancing will get
you in touch with your inner goddess, and make you look and feel sexy.
Orange: Express yourself creatively. When you make or
create something it helps to improve self-worth issues. Take up pottery, art or mosaic classes,
flower arranging or cake decorating. Make your own jewellery or candles. Admire
your handwork and feel how it lifts your spirits.
Yellow: Exercise
and stimulate your brain. Learn a new language. Sign up for a writing course. Read
a Shakespeare novel. Acquiring knowledge will give your self-confidence a
boost. When you are well-read and informed it will also assist in dispelling
irrational fears.
Green: Bring balance and harmony into your life. Grow
a herb or vegetable garden, or just beautify your home with a lovely lush
oasis. Spending time in nature will connect you to your heart’s desires.
Blue: Use your voice. Join a book club where you can
discuss your favourite books with like-minded people. Take a toastmasters
course. Go for singing lessons, or join your local church or temple choir. Don’t
be shy to join the chanting in your yoga class. Build trust in your own voice
and opinions.
Indigo: Do introspection. Learn how to meditate to
find stillness and tap into your subtle senses. Explore tools like astrology or
colours, and do personality tests online. When you know and trust yourself you
live according to your personal beliefs.
Violet: Do something for the greater good. Help out
at the soup kitchen of your church or community centre. Volunteer at an animal
shelter, children’s home or old age home. Being in service for the good of all brings
body, mind and spirit together.
