Your Life in Color

1. Your Soul's GPS: Intuition and Color Energy

What if your own soul was the GPS you could use to consciously locate yourself in the universe and connect to all higher wisdom and understanding?

Innate intuition. We are all born with intuition, an inner guidance system often referred to as a "feeling" or "hunch." Society often teaches us to seek external guidance, causing this intuitive glow to fade, but it remains an inherent part of our life force waiting to be awakened and strengthened like a muscle through practice. The author's ability to see color energy around people since childhood, potentially linked to synesthesia, became his unique language for accessing this intuitive information.

Color as a map. Color serves as an address on the map of our life, helping us find specific points we need to reach for personal transformation. Each color presents consistent properties and energies that can be utilized as tools for self-improvement and positive change. By understanding and working with how colors affect and influence our lives, we can amplify our inner voice and navigate our journey with greater clarity and purpose.

Beyond the psychic. Being "psychic" simply means developing intuitive muscles through practice, much like a personal trainer develops physical strength. The goal is not just magical insight but practical application of that insight for our benefit. Color energy provides a tangible way to access this inner wisdom and make powerful changes in our energy on our own terms, regardless of prior experience with intuition or beliefs about auras.

2. Activate Color Energy to Transform Your Life

Color activation is the process of harnessing the energy behind each color.

Bridging the gap. Activating color energy moves beyond passive observation to actively pulling that energy into our lives for our benefit, like cooking a meal ourselves rather than just watching a cooking show. There are no strict rules; the process is meant to empower you to make it your own, finding techniques that resonate best with your senses and energy. Consistent practice, even for short periods, helps you observe shifts in your energy and consciousness.

Multi-faceted approach. Color activation involves several categories to engage different aspects of your being.

• Spiritual Activation: Uses meditation and visualization to clarify intention and connect with the color's energy.
• Universal Activation ("I spy"): Involves noticing the color repeatedly in your environment as signs from your higher self or the universe.
• Physical Activation: Utilizes color props (physical objects) placed in your surroundings or on your body as tangible reminders and energy builders.
• Color Affirmations: Verbal messages repeated to align with the color's energy and replace negative self-talk.

Shadow sides. Each color has an inverse set of properties, a "shadow side," which can manifest as discomfort or resistance if you need to work on that area of your life. Disliking a color can be a sign that its shadow side holds a message for you, challenging you to step out of your comfort zone and potentially leading to a "color-fueled breakthrough" by bringing imbalances into the light.

3. White: Cleanse Your Energy and Gain Clarity

White is the universe’s all-purpose cleanser.

Spiritual cleansing. Providing a burst of spirituality and clarity, white helps neutralize and balance every aspect of our being, shining brightly at a high vibration. It illuminates the parts of ourselves needing attention and those that can be released, much like turning on a light in a cluttered room to see what to keep and what to discard. White is associated with purity, new beginnings, and the greater good across many cultures and religions.

Fresh starts. Using white energy creates a fresh start in whatever we focus on, representing a new chapter and a new set of intentions. It is particularly useful during confusing or overwhelming times, helping to clear cluttered energy and refocus on our core selves. The author's client, Charmaine, used white activation to cut through the overwhelm of divorce and caretaking, rediscovering her purpose as a teacher.

Energetic desktop. Spiritually activating white is like an energetic shower that refocuses your energy to a more neutral space, organizing and clearing your consciousness. It helps you quickly return to your most honest, balanced version before energy was swayed by external factors. White unifies your intention, allowing you to file away distracting elements and refocus on your core, feeling like a freeing, cleansing bath of light energy.

4. Gold: Harness Your Power and Set Goals

Gold light invokes self-confidence, independence, and motivation.

Independent energy. Gold is the color of independence and intelligence, acting as a booster shot of tenacity and motivation, particularly useful for prioritizing and goal setting. It transforms negative thought patterns into positive, productive thinking and is often seen around entrepreneurs, inventors, and self-starters. Historically, gold is associated with regal energy, knowledge, wisdom, and reliability across various cultures and religions.

Masculine aspect. Traditionally considered a masculine energy in healing arts, gold represents being self-employed, self-motivated, and more "in your head" than "in your heart." It helps us be self-sufficient, set intentions, and be confident in our ideas. The author's husband, David, used gold activation and a gold watch color prop to feel confident and capable before a big business meeting, stepping into his personal power.

Action and thought. Gold energy is unique in being both physical (inspiring action) and intellectual (aligning with higher thought). When used to unify energy for a goal, it makes us effective physically and mentally. Working with gold can awaken a powerful, intelligent, driven part of your being, especially beneficial if you don't naturally connect with your "business" side or feel deserving of payment for your work.

5. Silver: Nurture Your Home and Inner Wisdom

Your home is a reflection of your consciousness.

Divine feminine. Like the moon, silver holds powerful divine feminine energy, offering a sense of security, protection, and support, particularly for your home and family. Associated with moon goddesses, wisdom, and protection across cultures, silver is the yin to gold's yang, helping balance masculine and feminine energies within us. The silver anniversary (25 years) symbolizes a valuable, long-lasting investment in a couple's life together, marking stability and safety.

Home sanctuary. The way you treat your living space is directly related to how you feel about your life and your relationship with silver energy. A healthy relationship with silver means feeling nurtured, safe, protected, and welcome in your home, honoring your sacred space without needing perfection. The author's personal struggle with silver stemmed from childhood instability, leading to clutter avoidance and difficulty sharing his space, which he healed by activating silver and creating a welcoming home.

Community and connection. Silver energy helps us access a sense of community and support through our home, balancing protection of sacred space with inviting loved ones in. Hosting friends, even simply for take-out, is a joyful expression of silver energy, fostering a stable community. The author and his husband used silver activation to manifest meaningful friendships in their new city by intentionally saying yes to social invitations and creating a welcoming atmosphere in their home.

6. Blue: Embrace Truth and Find Courage

Working with blue is like taking a shot of energetic truth serum.

Truth and wisdom. Blue provides the resolve to speak our mind authentically and helps remove denial, allowing us to see others and situations clearly. Associated with divinity, protection against evil, trustworthiness, and fidelity across cultures, blue is a primary color symbolically consistent with its role as a base ingredient for learning fundamental truths in life. It lifts the veil from consciousness, revealing universal truths.

Facing fear. Blue energy gives us the strength to tune into our inherent wisdom and truth, even if it's painful or requires confronting fears. The author used blue to find the courage to come out, realizing that avoiding his personal truth blocked deeper insight and caused emotional and physical issues. Blue helped him see that rejection from others was less important than the love and support from his core soul group.

Emotional honesty. Blue enables real change by helping us accept difficult truths and move past them. It highlights areas of life needing attention and brings the courage to face them. In relationships, blue helps us express our true feelings accurately, overcoming the fear of misunderstanding or conflict. The author's client, Linda, used blue activation to face the truth about an unavailable partner, ultimately leading her to a healthier relationship.

7. Emerald Green: Unleash Creativity and Communication

I believe an artist exists in all of us.

Creative flow. Emerald green helps open lines of creativity and communication, stimulating a desire to create from the soul and express oneself tangibly. It is seen around artists, writers, and public speakers, but its creativity-enhancing effects apply to problem-solving and finding new solutions in any field. Studies show exposure to green increases brainstorming abilities and reduces stress, fostering a calm state conducive to creative expression.

Self-expression. Fostering creativity is a critical component of a happy life, even if you don't identify as a traditional artist. Engaging your originality transcends hobbies and overflows into other life areas. Emerald green is particularly important if you see yourself as uncreative, as it can awaken a powerful, dormant part of your being. The author's client, Licia, used emerald green to embrace her identity as a writer, overcoming self-doubt and finding her unique voice.

Verbal expression. Beyond artistic endeavors, emerald green enhances verbal communication, affecting how our words, thoughts, and intentions flow and are received. It helps us find the words needed to express how we really feel, which is crucial for healthy relationships. While disagreements exist, artistic expression often finds common ground, crossing divides and making us feel alive.

8. Purple: Connect with Leadership and Purpose

Our destiny and purpose cannot be defined by one specific job.

Regal leadership. Purple has a long, worldwide association with leadership, destiny, and purpose, seen in royalty, priests, and figures of social progress. It helps align us with our true calling and provides the self-assurance and confidence needed to stand on our own. Purple is the color to turn to when grappling with finding your purpose or feeling lost, as it builds the leadership energy required to break patterns of indecisiveness.

Purpose beyond career. While a job can be a vehicle for expressing purpose, our destiny is often more profound and multifaceted, changing throughout our lives. The author realized his purpose was to empower others, which he could do through various careers, not just as a psychic. His client, Bill, found his purpose in training and empowering people, which he continued to express through fitness coaching and philanthropy after selling his construction business.

Inner leader. Activating purple helps your inner leader speak up, guiding you to the best choices for stepping into your destiny. It makes you more visible, leading others to seek your opinion, and helps you make decisions with greater confidence. The shadow side of purple is a lack of direction and chronic indecisiveness, which can be addressed by making quicker decisions, starting with small ones, to strengthen your inner leader.

9. Ruby Red: Balance Your Emotions and Relationships

The secret to a healthy relationship with your emotions is learning when and how deeply to access them.

Emotional core. Red is an inherently emotional color, vibrating from the heart and linked to our life force. It heightens all emotions, from love and joy to anger and danger, and is strongly associated with passion, sexuality, and vitality across cultures. Ruby red is directly connected to our heart center, representing the root of our emotions and determining how we connect and interact with others.

Emotional inventory. Working with red makes you more aware of your emotions and how you feel, helping you take emotional inventory of your own soul. It highlights the energy exchange in relationships, reminding you to check if you are giving more than you receive. As an empath, the author learned to manage his sensitivity by noticing when he was focusing too much on others' feelings to avoid his own, using red to reconnect with his emotional body.

Vulnerability and connection. Ruby red forces us to be aware of vulnerability in our emotional field, which can be scary but is necessary for deep connection. The author's client, Rebecca, struggled to attract love because she avoided emotional vulnerability and dating, hiding her desire for a relationship. Activating red helped her access her emotions, share her feelings with her sister, and take action by trying matchmaking, ultimately leading her toward a healthier relationship.

10. Orange: Find Equilibrium and Heighten Perception

The orange light teaches us that yes, we can have one area of our life lead us and temporarily take precedence.

Balance and intuition. Orange is excellent for balancing energy during busy or hectic times, helping to bring imbalanced aspects of consciousness into equilibrium. It highlights the balance between psychology and spirituality and is considered the color of intuition, which is most accurate when life is balanced. Orange feels like a soothing, centering energy, serving as a beacon for heightened perception.

Confucian harmony. Associated with metamorphosis and renewal in Confucianism, orange helps reconcile inner imbalance to find a state of harmony between yin and yang energies. Visually, orange is highly perceptible and vibrant, symbolizing how balancing its energy can brighten and stabilize every other area of your life, much like how orange and blue enhance each other when placed side by side in art.

Integrated being. While one area of life may temporarily take precedence (like new love or a demanding job), orange reminds us that true perception and wisdom come from maintaining engagement with all aspects of our lives. The author's car accident, caused by scattered energy from neglecting self-care, was a wake-up call to use orange as a divine compass for spiritual equilibrium. Activating orange helps identify imbalances and encourages small adjustments towards a more satisfying, balanced life.

11. Pink: Embrace Your Perfection and Unconditional Love

You don’t need to do anything to deserve love; it is your birthright.

Unconditional love. Radiant pink light is the embodiment of perfection and unconditional love, serving as a salve for self-criticism. It exudes a warm, loving energy, often seen around newborns who haven't learned limiting beliefs. Pink helps us see ourselves as perfect, just as the universe created us, and encourages us to return to a simpler, less critical frame of mind.

Counteracting criticism. Pink helps quiet the urge to compare ourselves critically with others and refocus on unconditionally loving ourselves, quenching our thirst for acceptance by validating ourselves internally. The author's experience with steroids, driven by self-criticism about his weight, led to a spiritual activation of pink and the clear message: "You don't need to change anything; you are perfect as you are."

Accepting love. Pink light doesn't erase self-criticism but invites a new perspective, fueling growth above negativity. It turns up the volume on the kind inner voice that loves us unconditionally. Accepting compliments is a key practice, as it allows us to receive the pink energy others send and retrain our minds toward self-love, counteracting the shadow side of pink which manifests as self-criticism and judgment of others.

12. Mint Green: Ignite Enthusiasm and Life Force

Mint green energy is welcome in every situation because it makes everyone feel like anything is possible.

Growth and vitality. Mint green is associated with growth, change, and life force, symbolizing new life and the energy radiating from our soul (chi or prana). Like plants thriving through chlorophyll, mint green reflects our health, well-being, and approach to personal growth. Its energetic nature creates enthusiasm and makes people feel like anything is possible, making it a powerful color for manifesting and cheering others on.

Cosmic caffeine. This "electric" energy is vibrant and quick-moving, almost audible, representing a graduation into new possibilities. While a powerhouse of energy, too much unchecked mint green can lead to hyperactivity and anxiety, as seen in the author'
