Color Therapy for Obesity

We are surrounded by colour

It is not only the plants and trees and their flowers and fruits which provide us with colour, but also the many wonderful creatures who share this planet with us who contribute to the amazing colour palette, and the planet herself.

What more dramatic colours could you ask for than the variations of the blues of the sky, the blue/greens of the oceans, and the reds and oranges of sunsets - to name but a few.

The subject of Nature is enormous, however see related topics above right for some examples which have been written with the Colour Therapy / Nature connection in mind.

Yellows

Yellows are associated with sunlight and good luck, they are uplifting, joyful colors. They stimulate and enliven, and instill positive, cheerful, energetic feelings. They also encourage flexibility and adaptability. Yellows are connected with the ego, will and intellect. They are associated with mental energy and activity, stimulating the left side of the brain. Yellow activates the motor nerves and can generate energy for muscles.

Home - Yellows used in kitchens and baths are stimulating and great colors to wake up to. They are also great in areas where studying or homework may
occur. They should not be used in bedrooms, where the stimulation may make sleeping difficult. Yellows are a good choice for children who suffer from attention deficit disorder.

Overuse - Too much yellow can cause excessive mental stimulation, feelings of detachment, and arguments.

Chakra - Yellow is connected with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which governs the nervous system, metabolism, and emotions.

* Color Therapists use yellow for their positive effects on the nervous system,
gastrointestinal tract, and to treat arthritis, rheumatism, digestive problems, eczema, and constipation.

Oranges

Oranges are associated with joy, excitement, creativity, movement and ambition. They have a warming effect, and instill a feeling of playful energy,
and celebration. Since orange is a combination of yellow and red, it combines the strength and drive of red with the lighter more thoughtful nature of yellow.

Home - Orange creates a social atmosphere, related to creativity,
excitement, fun, and humor. It is a good color for kitchens and dining rooms, since it can stimulate the appetite. Oranges are a good choice for children who suffer from attention deficit disorder.

Reds

Reds are associated with strength, passion, sexuality, instinct, and vitality. They can instill the feelings of power and security. Red can increase heart rate and raise blood pressure. Magenta is less physical and more spiritual in nature. It can instill feelings of protection, self-respect, and
self-awareness. Pink is connected with love, romance, caring and compassion.

Home - Reds are great in spaces where you want a lot of activity. They are empowering in meeting rooms. They can bring a romantic, cozy feel to a bedroom, however it may make sleeping more difficult. Reds can be effective in a small space where we spend a shorter period of time. Short and quick exposures to red can be enough to give our energy levels a boost. Reds are a good choice for
children who suffer from attention deficit disorder. Pink will have a very calming
effect in a room.

Lavenders instill peace and well-being.

much natural light.

mental illness.

Black is associated with a feeling of protectiveness, mystery, and the unknown. It is an absorbing and silent color. Grays are associated with
neutrality and tranquility. Instead of standing out on their own, they tend to
support and influence more vibrant colors.

Home - Blacks should be used in small quantities along with other colors. Grays are good to use in any space, to help balance the effect of vibrant colors. Grays are a good choice for children with learning disabilities.
