Colours of Life
They say “discover the world through colours “. I guess I wouldn’t disagree on that. Because experts are of an opinion that colours hypnotizes our senses, changes our mood and affects our very life. In short these colours are shades of our perception. They are related to the way we feel and the reason why colours affect us so deeply is that they not only define our way, they truly enhance our path.
Nature plays its beautiful hand each hour of the day, showcases its immense collection and the shades of the spectrum each second of the hour. People won’t be wrong if they associate a state of mind, an element of the character with different shades of colour.
And so there I was making a brief run across the internet to find my relationship with colours. Red for instance, relates to our sense of belonging, our physical reality, anchors our feelings and gives us a sense of practicality. Orange on the other hand, expresses our most creative side, our relationship to others and our sexuality. It brings the feeling of expansion and aliveness. Yellow provides us with a sense of personal power like the Sun standing in its truth without compromising it and yet giving unconditionally to everyone. Green vibrates with our sense of Self-love & love for others. Blue triggers our sense of communication, our ability to share our truth and carry our message. Indigo expresses our dreams, our sense of imagination, our capacity to visualize. Purple gives us a sense of higher-consciousness, a sense of connectedness to a higher-realm vibrating with our deeper sense of relationship with the divine.
The pictures shown above have been taken from a riverside at Clarke Quay, Singapore. The brilliant and exuberant range of colours are in-fact the very evidence for the roles that colours play in our little lives. Whatever colours bring to us, on a much more individual level, it is undeniable that they affect our states of being and carry strong Vibes into our subconscious mind.The brighter they vibrate, the stronger they affect our deepest self. Colours define the intensity with which our heart sees our life & how our eyes translate the way we feel it.
Lovely post.

This reminded me of reading about Helen Keller when I was very little, and struggling to imagine what it would be like to have been blind from birth and not to have ever seen colours. The book I was reading had a little poem at the end, written as though it were Helen speaking, that finished with the lines “Colours alone my fingers cannot do/ Could you, could you/ Tell me about blue?” That made such an impression that, over thirty years later, the words came fresh to my mind.

Well how true! Thats probably the importance of different shades and the wide spectrum in our lives. Only once we are held devoid of it we realize the immensity of an integral part of our vision. Thanks for sharing those little lines 🙂

I was interested to read your post and the comment, in response to it about Helen Keller. I am blind. In my case I can not read print (I’m writing this using Jaws which converts text into speech and braille allowing me to use my computer). I can see outlines of objects and have some colour perception but I get confused between colours (red and orange, for instance often confuse me). A fascinating post.

I read somewhere, (I cannot remember the source) that we all see different shades of a given colour – that none of us will ever see the same shade of red, yellow, blue etc. Some beautiful photo’s of Singapore here. I have never visited here, so it’s wonderful to see 🙂

Frankly there have been an array of studies into it. Scientists even say one person’s red is another’s blue. But yet, here we are looking at the shades and admiring it.
I would say you must visit that place. Its an amazing place to be in and experience.
