The power of colours....

As Kym watched a DVD her eyes wandered to the array of ornaments that were carefully arranged on the cabinet the TV rested on. The colours were a mixture of greens and oranges and as she looked at the oranges she experienced feelings of warmth and joy. She once read somewhere that it when arranging ornaments choose the colour range that first comes to your heart because that colour will play a significant role in your life until your inner voice signals that it's time for a new colour scheme.

Kym recalled the day she set the range of green and orange ornaments and the feelings she experienced as she followed her inner voice. Over 18 months later these colours still resonate with Kym, so much so that when in Puerto Rico last week she had two ornaments to choose from and it was the orange one she selected to purchase. It now resides with the other orange ornaments proudly in front of the television set.

When Kym investigated the meaning behind the colours orange and green it made sense to her. She found that orange is associated with joy, sunshine and the tropics, and represents enthusiasm, fascinations, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement and stimulation. She discovered that green is associated with nature, and it symbolises growth, harmony, fertility and freshness. It has strong emotional correspondence with safety and is commonly associated with money.

This made so much sense to Kym because she has always felt at peace with green and in every house she had green somewhere in the colour scheme. She realised that different shades of green had greater significance at different times in her life also. However over 18 months ago was the first time she had selected orange.

Kym found it fascinating that colour has such an impact on the human physical and mental states, however she was not surprised.
