Holi, A festival that brings out our inner
child, makes us freed from any prejudices and biased. A festival of colors, a
time for love, joy and to recall that we all are merge in the greater pursuit
of happiness. As we have been hearing the story which goes like that; When Lord
Krishna complained to his mother about Radha being fairer than he was. On
which, His mother Yashoda asked him to put some colors on Radha’s face and see
how she looks. After putting the colors on Radha Face, Lord Krishna no longer
felt inferior to Radha, as he understood that it’s only a joy, happiness, and
colors of love which makes us connected and help us revive our inner beauty. And
this beauty is something we all should spread out to the world in order to
beautify this world and our inner soul.
Eventually, Holi became a day which is beyond
higher or lower, which breaks all the barriers of class and castes and bring
people together to celebrate and spread magic of colors as one big pool of
humanity. Colors take away our false sense of “otherness”, and bring us closer
and instill togetherness taking away our ego and other negative emotions. As we all know that even the 7 chakras in our
body have specific colors which further depict our behavior and life. Even the
science of color therapy, which we also call as Chromotherapy shows how several
colors infuse different energies defining our behaviors, personality and
lifestyle.
Let’s dig into the interpretation of color
spectrum and how you can incorporate in life to become more dynamic,
successful, happy and peaceful.
INDIGO helps you become wiser and give you a broader
perspective
Indigo color signifies understand to the
depth and ability to look at things from higher perspectives. Indigo can be
well utilized when you are conducting any research work or pursuing higher studies.
Thus, most of the offices are designed in a combination of brown wood and deep blue.
The colors can also easily be used in our life through clothes, accessories,
etc.
ORANGE helps you develop confidence skills
and ability to socialize
As the sunrise gives us a sense of warmness,
orange color also brings warmness in your personality and helps you develop
better social connections. That’s a beauty of orange color; it gives both
confidence and comfort. Professionally the best time to add orange color is in
your presentations or during interviews or you could also add orange in social
gatherings, party, wedding etc.
RED brings enthusiasm, love, alertness and
energy
Red color not only revs up your energy but
also brings enthusiasm in your life and lifts you out of sluggishness. To add a
little excitement in your everyday life, you can use red colors as chilies in
your food, or pack of some strawberries in your lunch or evening snacks, or by
keeping a red rose on your table.
Green boosts up our luck, better your health
and manifest wealth
Green is the color of abundance. Green is in
nature, green vegetable are known to be healthiest vegetables. Green is the
color of money as well.
Eating green vegetables, spending more time
in nature (in Open Grass) indeed brings good luck in life and manifest
financial growth. Putting plants at your home or at work space is a good option
to manifest wealth and good luck in life.
Yellow makes you more persuasive while
communicating to others and makes you more charming
Have you ever noticed that all the smiley
icons are in yellow color? Yellow color adds an extra element to our
conversation and makes us a better communicator. As sunflower brings ray of hope
and positivity, yellow color in any object can bring that positivity in your
emotions and in life. You can well utilize yellow color while cracking a deal
which needs negotiation for maximum benefits. You can also place yellow color
painting at work place or in your room to get maximum benefit of yellow color.
Violet color awakens your creativity skills
Although violet has also been used to depict royalty,
but it also stimulates creativity and thus people who are more into the work of
creativity like art direction, writing, film making can add violet color in
their surroundings to get extra benefits.
Blue depicts royalty and enhance your sense
of responsibility and calmness
Look at the sky for even 5 minutes and feel
that calmness which nothing else can give you ever. If you have ever noticed,
most of the company logos are of blue colors. Take example of LinkedIn, IBM, Skype,
Ford, Apple, Dell and many more. Blue depicts sense of stability in growth.
Not to forget that entire spectrum emerges
from one color which is “white”. White depicts peacefulness which is more
required for a contented soul; one must never forget to add white color in life
as even in the festival of Holi, people wear white to begin adding up more
colors.
Not only on this Holi, but add colors in your
life for everyday in order to live a fulfilled life.

very Happy Holi!
