Yellow shines with joy and enlightenment and it arouses cheerfulness. The benefits that the colour yellow can bring in are creating a strong sense of self and it can help you to set personal boundaries.
DECORATING WITH YELLOW
- Yellow can lend a sense of happiness and cheerfulness to a room but you need to be aware that using too much yellow can sometimes introduce feelings of anxiety due to it being such a bright, fast-moving colour. Instead, using yellow accents or a bowl of yellow flowers really does invite the joy into your space. If you love the colour yellow, and have lots of it in your home, introduce other colours alongside it to bring more balance into the area. It blends especially well with blue or lilac.
- Yellow is an appropriate colour to use to in an office or study because it enhances the intellect and has a stimulating effect on the mind. Make sure to choose a soft buttery shade of yellow which is easier on the eye. The stronger acidic yellows can be too harsh in a space where you spend a lot of time.
- Yellow stimulates the appetite so it’s not such a good idea to paint your kitchen yellow if you are on a diet or wanting to eat in a balanced and healthy way. You’ll just end up frustrating yourself after giving in to temptation.
WEARING YELLOW
Not many people are comfortable wearing yellow; but if you are, you will light up the room. It instantly invites happiness and confidence.
If it is a colour you avoid, try adding a yellow scarf or tie to your wardrobe, and see how it makes you feel.
Notice too, the responses you get from others. Do they engage with you more? Are people friendlier towards you?
- Wear yellow, for example, if you are wanting to create a new business concept and you are struggling with ideas to bring the business into reality. Yellow inspires original thought and inquisitiveness. It resonates with the logical side of your brain and will help to stimulate ideas and assist you with finding a new way of approaching things.
- Yellow is the great communicator and it loves to talk so if you are a teacher and you are trying to engage with your students in order to get them to respond to you, it may be a good idea to wear the yellow scarf or blouse.
- If you are going through a lot of change in your life you may find you can’t tolerate wearing the colour yellow very well. It just means that you are having trouble coping with all the changes, as it creates the feeling of being stressed.
From a spiritual perspective:-
Yellow relates to the SOLAR PLEXUS chakra situated below the ribs. This chakra relates to self-worth; how we feel about ourselves and how we feel others perceive us. This is the area of the personality, the ego, the intellect and of self-confidence.
Remember that every colour has both positive and negative attributes – so see which you resonate with more:
Positive aspects:
Increases optimism and confidence, it encourages emotional strength, it promotes friendliness and creativity, it activates memory and assists with communication. It indicates a happy disposition and outgoing personality.
Negative aspects:
It indicates someone who may be negative who has difficulty letting go of the past. They repeat their drama stories and this creates more of the same, which leads to fear and anxiety. Lack of confidence and personal power, self- judgment and stress are all indications of a rejection of the yellow in your life. They may even struggle with depression, despair, fatigue, stress and are very sensitive to criticism. Because of their lack of confidence, they take on too much, to try and prove themselves, and then struggle with completing everything they have committed to.
To balance the negative aspects, it would be really helpful to use the yellow oil in your bath or as a body oil daily, to strengthen and support you.
HEALING WITH YELLOW
Using the Yellow Oil of Transformation will help to ease nervous tension, confusion, stress and fear. It can be very helpful with focus, studying and concentration as it stimulates the intellect and assists with clarity. Yellow organises the mind, and together with the beautiful smell, it positively enhances the memory, so use it while studying and again when writing exams. It is particularly useful to put on the skin under the nose while studying and both there as well as around the solar plexus before going into an exam to ease your stress levels.
The Angel of Enlightenment Spray – is wonderful when sprayed lightly over the face after cleansing and toning every day. It starts your day with a happy boost and your skin responds to it beautifully too.
