Moods and Emotions

Hippo is wondering, if you are aware that colour or light can imprint a message into your brain, enough to influence your mood or emotion? Each colour has a different effect on us. Did you ever notice that some restaurants have red and yellow in their logos. These colours combined produce a "hunger craving."
Colour is a powerful communication tool. Many horror movies often have red and black in their composition.  Also different colours can do wonderful things for our moods or not much at all. Colour therapy can be holistic and non-invasive dating back to 2000 years plus in India, Egypt, and China. Colour is simply light wavelengths and frequencies of varying lengths. If colour therapy is  used the correct way then a particular colour  will have a healing effect. Listed below -a few colours and the effects on the body...... this is where the words "effect" and "affect" can get quite confusing.

Orange -increases your energy level and soothing for the lungs
Blue-soothes and calms
Indigo-alleviates skin problems
red-strengthens the mind
yellow-stimulates the nerves

Sir Issac Newton knew all about it..                 Bye for now
