Colour messages are opportunities for us to reflect. Often we find ourselves 'drawn to colour (for instance, what to wear each day, what our favourite colour is and so forth). This inner urge conveys a message to us for reflection. Below are some colour meanings, but do remember - colours are complex with many variations of shades and hues. These variations also apply to the intensity and variation of a colour "message'. As most people are aware - not all people describe the same colour in the same way.
Other times, we may find that we are struggling with a specific emotion. We can reduce the impact by using or wearing a colour, or visualising it in meditation. Another strategy to use Colour energy and messages is to simply write the colour names below on separate pieces of paper, fold the paper in half, and place them in a jar. Each morning, spend a few minutes in quiet contemplation and ask your guides /higher self, to give you a 'daily message". Then refer to the meaning of the colours listed here (or if you have created your own colour list - refer to it).
Amber is a colour reflecting ancestral wisdom, increasing creativity, and strengthening manifestation abilities. It is a colour of affection that assists with deepening the relationship bonds opening to giving and receiving of love. It conveys warmth, optimism, courage and spontaneity and opens a person to receiving joy. Joy is often associated with children's joyfulness – (not that an adult needs to act like a child) with a daily approach of wonder. For children - everything they see has a newness; nothing is dull. Adults might see things as uninteresting or mundane, but children see them as 'wonder-full'. Life and nature are full of awe-inspiring divine creations, and the capacity to manifest and create divinely lies within all of us. The colour amber assists people in giving themselves permission to have fun, be playful and experience greater joy. You can awaken your creative aspects by wearing amber jewellery or clothing or meditating on the colour of amber.
Activity: Hold a piece of amber (or wear amber clothing). Visualise amber's colour and remind yourself that you have an uninhibited side that is playful and fun. Choose to draw upon your creativity and reflect – what are the five things you would love to do that are adventurous and a little bit 'daring'? Pick the ONE thing that appeals to you most and do it today. It might be as simple as singing or dancing before or after the work day. Anything that helps you to see your creativity in action. Gardening, baking, or building are always good creative exercises because you see visible results quickly.
Affirmation: I AM awake to my creative talents and abilities and am free to experience joy-fully in fun ways. I AM.
Joy and laughter carry healing properties themselves. Apricot opens a person to more laughter and joy. Those people who have been feeling burdened and overwhelmed, living devoid of laughter -then Apricot is the colour for you. It will bring zest and appreciation for life, which energises and revitalises your appreciation of the simple things in life. It assists with releasing irrational fear and anxiety and opens the creative and intuitive centres. When we work with Apricot, we start to feel and sense a lightness – the heaviness of life is transmuted, and we attract more joyous experiences. Options to appreciate Apricot include eating and savouring an apricot – or meditation as below. The primary message of Apricot is “Lighten up and laugh”. You can explore the colour Apricot in your meditative state and invite joy to enter your heart so you can experience it daily.
Activity: This activity is best done at the end of the day. Sometimes we may have trouble laughing and remembering what joy feels like. If this is you – before meditating, spend some time remembering the ‘golden moments in life when you experienced genuine laughter and pleasure. Now allow your thoughts to expand to find five humorous or joyful moments in this day (sometimes the funny moments involve animals or children at the shops). If all else fails – find some funny videos to watch on the internet or watch a comedy movie.
Affirmation: I AM a joyful person, and my heart and soul are awake with joy, laughter and spontaneity, I AM”

Grounding with the use of Auburn assists in having higher levels of patience and more excellent mood stability. A person lives a more practical and logical life. Using Auburn in the process assists in anchoring our personal energy to the Universal pool of knowledge in practical ways. You will know if you are ungrounded because you will be 'off with the fairies' full of grand plans and ideas that never come to fruition because they are not acted upon. Auburn is an essential colour for the manifestation process.
Activity: Visualise yourself in your mind's eye, standing outside in your garden barefoot. Your bare feet are magnetically attached and locked onto the earth's surface. Allow your body to feel the earth's healing energy as it comes up through your feet and circulates throughout your body, from your feet to your crown and back into the ground.

Azure is a colour for auric purification and protection. It enhances the connection to the Divine. Azure aids in developing self-awareness combined with deep insight and understanding, which is empowering. It is a colour that assists with making healthy life choices and can be used in situations of danger - physical, psychological or spiritual.
Protection: Visualise yourself (your car or home) in a bubble of azure-coloured light. The bubble of light – the orb should be 1.5 m from each of your body points. That is, it should extend 1.5 metres above and below you and 1.5 meters to the front and behind you. Affirm: “I give thanks for the Divine energy of protection that now is placed around me and through me. – I invoke that all negative energies and thoughts be removed from my body at a cellular level and that any inappropriate cords of attachment be cut. Please seal any cords that should not be reattached and protect my aura from further pentation. Thanks, Be!” You can do this exercise for your children and any loved ones that you believe need some added protection – however, please remember to ask consent from those who are adults – or at least warn them in advance. If you cannot get verbal consent from them, request permission from their ‘higher self-aspect’. The Higher Self will never refuse a good-intentioned action of love. However, you could always add a 'postscript' that redirects the energy if it is unwelcome to wherever it needs to go for the greatest good, under grace and in the Divine way.
We create what we perceive, conceive, think, and believe. Many people perceive dark times as 'negative' (understandably). However, with every 'dark night of the soul,' there is always the promise of dawn and sunrise. Night allows us to reflect and evaluate the new day and our hopes and dreams. There is an opportunity to retreat, disappear and strengthen self. Black acts as a gateway to creating unique experiences. The retreat often tests a person's resolve until they release the old so that they focus on the new. One door closes, and another door opens. Choose to be open to the liberation offered by the colour Black, which is often associated with the word "freedom". You can use the Black ray to dissolve the old and allow you to focus on the new and receive the divine wisdom and gifts that have lain dormant within you. Black offers you the richness of the night sky – and the sense of connection with 'All That I AM'.
Activity: Give yourself permission to connect with the Black ray to access those gifts that have remained inactive and in the 'shadow of self. Imagine yourself in darkness and ask Divine Wisdom to show you what you need to learn from your shadow, which will assist and support you in this journey of physical life. Receive its gifts and feel your faith strengthened.
Affirm: Divine Spirit – I invoke you to infuse me with strength, wisdom, and courage, which allows me to embrace and learn from my shadow aspect. I am ready to maximise my capacity to carry love in my conscious existence. Thanks Be!

Affirmation: Divine Spirit, I now invoke the Bronze ray of light to heal, strengthen and rejuvenate my body. Thanks Be!”
It is challenging to maintain a balanced perspective when we have poor boundaries (or no boundaries). We may become irritable at others for 'overstepping the mark' when we have not outlined the 'line in the sand'. Alternatively, we may find ourselves experiencing inexplicable mood swings and emotional ups and downs without knowing why. The colour brown is both earthy and practical. It acts as a conduit to nature and assists in gaining balance in our vision and understanding. You are advised to use the Brown Ray when creating new relationship boundaries. You can also use the Brown Ray to maintain boundaries that are becoming compromised and where you feel you are being pushed into a corner. The Brown Ray revives both your energy and your creativity. Using the Brown Ray is best done outside, combining connection to nature and healing properties of the earth at the same time.
Invocation: I now invoke the Creator, Angels and Guides to assist me in creating and maintaining healthy relationship boundaries and to listen to my Divine Guidance and follow it. I respect and value myself and choose to be kind and compassionate to myself and others".
Exercise: Write a list of what love and care mean to you. How do you show people that you love them? How would you like people to show you that they love you? Is there a difference in the lists? Do you hold higher expectations for giving love as opposed to receiving it? Do you need to change what you accept from others? Do you need to tell them that you can no longer tolerate their treatment of you for your own self-respect and self-love?
Or do you need to tell them that you really appreciate how they show you love and kindness? Do you take those that love you for granted? Is there anything you can do to show them your appreciation? If so – do it!

Psychologists refer to the Shadow self in words of the 'unconscious or subconscious, the things we do without being aware that we do them or why. Often, they can create problems in our lives. When we know our Shadow side, we know our vulnerabilities and biases and how they can negatively impact our lives. Understanding our Shadow can assist in managing our vulnerabilities and building resilience as part of personal development. Through self-understanding, we can develop the skills to 'live well'. Chocolate is considered a gateway to the Shadow self, nourishing us through the process of insight and a deeper awareness of who we are and what motivates us (or demotivates us). We gain insight and understanding about our reactions and how to sidestep situations that might trigger us as we journey toward self-control and self-direction.
Activity: Make yourself a cup of hot Chocolate, slow sip the warmth and sweetness into your body and soul (or imagine yourself doing so in your mind's eye).

Then get yourself into a comfortable position with a notepad in your lap, and be creative in writing a list of ten things you can do for yourself over the next week that will help nourish and nurture your body and spirit.

Note: before starting the activity – focus your intention by making the following invocation:
Invocation: I now invoke Creator God/Goddess, Angels, and guides that you awaken the sweetness and soulfulness that lies within me; so that I might truly nourish and love myself. Thanks Be!
The colour coral carries a mixture of properties that help a person to see situations from different perspectives. It allows for the ability to heal the ‘broken heart’ or even ‘unrequited love and feelings of rejection. It assists an acceptance of life through the release of resistance to the often-unexpected life challenges in ways that help to ground and destress. Coral opens a person to the synchronicity of life. Synchronicity is the apparent ‘randomness of occurrence’ that appear to have no connection to each other but does. For example, a person pondering the truth of Angels, seeing a feather floating down randomly, or the person who is thinking of a person -and that person calls them. Other times it might mean thinking of a problem and looking for solutions, and a feather lands beside you. When you google animal wisdom, the message is a clear answer to your problem. It might be a case of asking yourself questions and meditating to draw the perfect job to you -and out of nowhere, you are approached with a job offer. Synchronicity is a case of direct and relevant messages and actions that empower a person to ‘go with the flow of life. When you have a big decision to make, the following activity is suggested.
Activity: Visualise a coral ball of light in the area of your heart, and then see that ball develop rays that extend out from your heart. The beams form a bridge that allows more synchronicity and greater ease in your life. You see the bridge in front of you and either see or sense yourself stepping toward the coral bridge and onto it, knowing that as you walk this path, you are on the ‘right path.
Affirmation” I AM able to follow my hunches with ease and walk my rightful and Divine Path I AM.

The Brilliance of a Electric Blue colour flecked with the purity of white brings about wondrous changes and transformation. It is the colour a person wants when they start a new beginning. It is associated with those considered 'masculine' attributes throughout history. All of us carry both masculine and feminine characteristics regardless of our gender. The masculine properties are generally associated with providing, protecting, and feeling safe. When making changes in our lives often, we are paralysed with fear of the unknown. The Brilliance of Blue transmutes fear-based anxieties into positive beliefs of hope and faith.
For those experiencing depression or a 'heaviness', Brilliance of Electric Blue can help to recharge and renew how you portray yourself to others (because of the internal shifts). By using the Blue white colour, you can restore your inner spark; to shine your own light outwards to those around you. Work with Brilliance to cleanse your body and soul and to help heal any physical or emotional dis-ease. The most uncomplicated activity for connecting with this Brilliance is doing the following daily exercise when showering.
Exercise: Imagine standing under a waterfall, where the water is the most brilliant of blues, a electric blue colour, but as the water flows, it froths over your body. The frothy water appears as a bright white foam that contrasts the sapphire water's Brilliance. The water flows over you, and you are immersed in this Brilliance. Allow the water to flow from the shower head over the top of your crown and body, enshrouding you in its Brilliance. This water removes all the impurities from your external body. It infuses your entire aura at a cellular level with its properties of transformation and protection. You feel safe and hopeful, with greater mental clarity, expanded thinking and purity of intent.
Affirmation: I AM connected to Divine Intelligence and open to recognising my wisdom and manifesting my brilliant ideas in inspirational ways to those around me. I AM.

It dissolves hard and rigid thinking toward those who have hurt us in the past (and even the present).

Breathe in the Emerald rays and allow the sense of peace and calm to fill you.
Affirm: “Divine Love, I am nourished by the wonder of nature, and when I focus on the beauty offered to me, I feel calm, perfectly balanced and in harmony with the world and the universe. Thanks BE!”

People with a lower sense of self-value see their worth, which is a magnet to more abundance in their life.

Gray is associated with Auric and Body Scans. In this way, you can identify any blockages or flaws at both spiritual and physical levels. This gift empowers a person because it helps highlight and provide information about your mental, emotional, and physical state of being. You can use the colour Gray to give you alternative perspectives around the 'blocks' and to give you strength in challenging situations. The ability lends itself to carrying greater hope and peace. This ability is similar to scanning your physical body with a magnifying glass, seeing the areas of 'flaws' for 'treatment' with other colours. For instance, you might scan your body with grey and note an area of skin disorder such as acne or other skin eruptions associated with releasing toxic anger. You would then be able to direct the colour orange (or other) to the skin condition. Alternatively, using a different colour or energy could treat the underlying condition that creates anger. Auric energy blocks usually lead to a physical ailment, drawing your attention to unhelpful thinking or emotional patterns. You can then adjust your mind or attitude to alternative solutions or helpful actions that allow the condition to heal or remove the impediment in daily function. To do this, you will need to connect yourself to the Gray Ray.
Activity: Visualise yourself in a pillar of clear, almost transparent Gray light. Ask the higher powers to assist with showing you clearly, any dysfunction or blockages. Close your eyes and see the transparent Gray tinged ray of light swirling around your body. The beam will highlight the areas that require healing in a darker shade of Gray. The colour's depth will indicate your attention's urgency or priority. When you have identified the areas needing treatment, focus on the specific location. Ask the Divine Intelligence to show you the colour of light that would be most helpful in healing particular physical issues. Let the shade flash to your conscious awareness and direct it into the specific area – seeing it infuse with the colour. Then repeat the process for each area highlighted as being 'blocked' or not functioning at full capacity. In each location – see the grey leaving the site and it being replaced and infused with the specific healing colour it needs.
Affirm: Divine Intelligence, please release limitations and stuckness from my life so that I may be free and creative and experience complete health and well-being. Thanks BE!"

Pink is the colour of the heart charka associated with self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance. These are the traits that form unconditional self-love. Self-love is where we extend to ourselves the same kindness and compassion that we would extend to those we love. Often we are our own harshest critics, with judgemental self-talk, as we 'fail' to achieve our own high expectations. We measure our success against others who have not had the same journey. Within each moment, each of us is at the perfect stage of development. We are always a Divine manifestation of perfection and evolution. Instead of beating yourself up over mistakes, change your attitude to see your mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning. Other options will present for a second 'take' or third 'take' if necessary. Unforgiveness can manifest in the body as heart problems (or other physical conditions). Your lack of self-acceptance and critical self-judgement might keep you awake at night and experiencing insomnia. As you address this lack of self-love and self-acceptance, you will heal many problems (especially heart-related ones). You will sleep better and start manifesting dreams that carry messages for you. Emotional challenges will have more apparent solutions for you, and you will experience greater tranquillity. Healthy self-love is magnetic and draws more loving and kind people into your life -and you become receptive to their love.
Activity: In this creative visualisation – as you breathe, focus on letting go of any hardness and rigidity in your body. See yourself holding a glorious pale pink rose (or a favourite pale pink coloured flower). As you inhale, imagine the sweet perfume travelling to your heart, offering the same gentle delicateness as the flower. With each inward breath, you see the beautiful pink pulsing from the flower directly to your heart, filling it with unconditional love. Now in your mind's eye – see someone you love and who reciprocates love to you). Visualise the love in your heart -which is now filled – going from your heart to theirs. Feel the love and connection between you. As you do this exercise – make the affirmation.

Watermelon is a soft colour encompassing gentleness and compassion. It assists with affection, self-acceptance and kindness. These are the qualities, when extended to yourself, that make it easier to access your Inner Child. People with low self-esteem, loneliness and sadness have often carried these emotions since childhood. They may struggle with understanding others and giving and receiving (generosity). Watermelon helps heal these emotions and awaken nature's playful aspects, allowing more joy to enter our lives. Reclaiming the inner child is about revisiting the truth of who you are – when you were a child BEFORE you had learned about some of the harsher aspects of life. By practising a visualisation exercise, you can unburden yourself from the emotional heaviness to replace them with joyous feelings.
Activity: Start this activity with breathing exercises as you would with meditation. Visualise yourself as a small child (or alternatively, find a photograph of yourself between 2-6). Ask your child simple questions like "what fun thing would you like to do today?" or "What can we do to feel happy and healthy today?". Then in your mind's eye,' see yourself and your 'inner child' doing these activities. This activity becomes easier with practice. You might act as an adult in your visualisations, caring for your little inner YOU. You might take the 'child self' into the park or by a stream, playing ball. Whatever you are doing – when it's time to go, say goodbye to the child and promise to return soon. People who have struggled with inadequate parenting as a child may decide to be their own 'mother' or 'father'. This may mean a commitment to the 'child self', assuring it is safe and you will take care of it. As a parent, when leaving, you may decide to leave the child in the company of other parent-caregiver types (such as your guides and guardians). Other activities include visualising the child and wrapping it in the colour of watermelon before going to sleep each night. As you practice this exercise, it becomes easier.
Affirmation: "Creator, Divine Intelligence, All That I AM, Angels and Guides, please assist me in connecting with the fun-loving part of myself and my enthusiastic nature so that I can carry and share more joy in my life wherever I go. Thanks Be!"
