Color Blowing - That's A New One On Me!

Everything And Nothing: "Color Me Skeptical

Chromotherapy is the use of color and light to bring about homeostasis - health and balance. It's been around since the ancient Egyptians, who built solariums with colored glass. In modern times, it's used to cure depression and help stroke victims recover.

Some use colored silk cloths placed on the body. Some used colored gels or panes of colored glass. Some use eyeglasses with colored lenses. Practitioners of Feng Shui use color in homes and offices for the optimum balance of energy.

But the most interesting to me is color breathing. With color breathing, you visualize a particular color, then inhale and exhale that color. (Raymond Buckland claims he's taken 15 years off of his life breathing the color pink - so I'd try that one first.) Purists recommend that you are lying on your back in an area free of electromagnetic interference - head pointed north, arms outstretched.

I have tried this several times but when I close my eyes I see a rainbow of colors, never just one. Red is usually the most overpowering of the myriad of colors but it might just be the one I latch onto because it's my favorite color. But I'm sure there's many items in my house with electromagnetic fields that I don't know about.

If you have more success than me, try these colors.

Red - Increase energy and power, improve love life

Orange - Get attention, cure procrastination

Yellow - Encourage optimism and joy, let go of material possessions

Turquoise - Improve immunity, gain more power

Blue - Relax, treat insomnia (I need this one!) and high blood pressure, gain confidence

Purple - Boost self-worth, gain wisdom

Magenta - Let go of negative feelings"

I found this post on a topic I've never ever ever heard of. If your fortunes are different please let me know!
