Color psychology* Although it’s not common knowledge for most, the use of color to treat illness & improve mood has been around for centuries originating in ancient Egypt, China, Greece, & India. In these cultures the hues of various tinctures & treatments were as important as their contents. As time passed the science surrounding its use has evolved into color psychology & chromotherapy. Color psychology uses the emotions colors evoke to help in therapeutic practice, & is utilized in the marketing world to invite certain feelings towards a product being promoted. Chromotherapy more specifically uses the combination of color & light to promote healing & treat psychological diagnoses. So how does this all relate to Joy? Easy answer, seek vibrance! Go take a walk in your local Art Gallery. Stroll down the promenade of most cities today & take in the beauty of its murals. See what emotions they evoke in you & savor the gift of more color in your life!
