One of the easiest ways to ensure stable and harmonious relationships is turning to Feng Shui and using its colours to shift positive energy around your house. The ancient science of Feng Shui stresses upon the importance of choosing the right colours for your bedroom, as it is here that you spend most of your time. According to Feng Shui, colour is a very easy way to add some positive energy to your home. This is because colour is needed by all of us for our wellbeing.

In Feng Shui, the earth element is focused upon for strong and stable relations and this element also helps in balancing good health and inner balance. The major earth element colours are light yellow, beige and other sandy colours. It is important to use these Feng Shui colours in a subtle and visually pleasing way such that they look aesthetic.

One of the easiest ways to bring in the Feng Shui element of earth colours is to paint your walls in earthy colours. It is most effective to paint the southwest part of your house in warm sandy colours. For your living room, you can opt for luscious coffee coloured walls and do up your bedroom in a terracotta shade for a rich look. It is advised that the bedroom is painted with various shades of brown because they are able to create energy which is earthy in nature, meaning it provides a nourishing energy needed by all of us. Further, the brown tones also include in them all shades of skin tones, which gives the wall colour the quality of an embrace, which is very good Feng Shui according to experts.

The power of colours was widely believed in during the ancient times, thereby leading to their usage in most of the methods of ancient sciences. But what has remained consistent through the ages is the use of colour for various healing purposes. There is even evidence that in ancient Egypt, houses were built with coloured panes of glass roof so that sunlight could filter through the glass roof and treat the patient inside. On the other hand, the Chinese associate each organ with a colour and use this for treatment, which is quite similar to the practice employed by Reiki for healing.

According to Reiki, there are seven main chakras in our body which are essentially spiritual centres that are located along the spinal column and each centre is associated with a colour. These colours may become imbalanced and lead to physical or mental diseases, which can be cured by using the appropriate colour for its treatment.

This restoration of balance is done by Reiki practitioners through a variety of methods of which aura reading is one of the main ones. The practice of Reiki believes that the human body is surrounded by electromagnetic fields which vibrate at a particular speed to produce specific colours or auras. These colours or auras are produced depending on the person’s health and state of mind. Here, it is interesting to note that Reiki does not consider any aura to be good or bad as each of them have their negative and positive qualities which affect a person. So, the practitioner only focuses on helping find the positive aspects of their aura and restore the balance.

Colours can have a deep influence over our mind, body and behaviour and are very important for the science of Vaastu Shastra. Vaastu talks of how a specific colour can activate or control human glands, thereby influencing different bodily functions. Colours can exert absolute effect on our minds and this is used by Vaastu to bring out positive energies.

Vaastu recommends the usage of the colour red for the benefit of low pressure patients, to increase their appetite as well as to give them some extra needed energy. On the other hand, for those with overeating disorders, it recommends a cooler colour like light blue, which also helps in soothing and calming the mind. Green is often used in hospitals because of its association with nature, growth and fertility. So, green is used here for the quick recovery of patients and is not a random colour choice.

Some other colours highly recommended for your house by Vaastu are orange, pink and yellow. Orange is believed to stimulate the appetite and energize the digestive system. It is also helpful for chronic asthma patients, as well as for those suffering from inflammation of kidneys, epilepsy and cholera. While pink can be used to combat tension, soothe and calm down aggression and also works as an appetite suppressant.
