Crystals and Colours

Colours play a crucial role in our day to day moods and in turn impact our behavior. For example, wearing a yellow jumper on a cold, wet day can instantly brighten up our mood and make us more active. Similarly, surrounding one’s self in hues of blue can make a hot summer day seem cooler, making us more peaceful and calmer.

Colours we see and choose therefore, consciously and subconsciously impact our levels of energy and in turn can give us insights on how we interact with ourselves and the world at large.

Colours have healing properties that allow us to cleanse our body, mind and spirit. Different colours invoke different mind states, attitudes, moods and emotions – that when observed, understood and dealt with, allow for healing.

Therefore, choosing a crystal based on a certain colour is also a way of attracting certain energies and improving our field of vibration – also known as an aura. A colour of a person’s aura can describe their lifestage and the kind of people and opportunities they attract.

So, if you’re fond of a certain colour, or if a random crystal’s colour catches your eye and you are attracted to it, do have a closer look. More often than not, that is exactly the colour of crystal you need for self-healing.
