EXERCISE 5

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as

important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are

so intimately related? Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state

of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The

color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or

emotion that you need.

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of

course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated

with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I

choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can

consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to

feel better.

Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are

meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your

energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So,

the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to

create disease is to inhibit your emotions.
