MEDICINE ON THE WALL,
Nowadays, medicine is developing by leaps and bounds.
Alternative medicine also does not stand still, surprising us not only with
various types of therapy, but most importantly - with an effective action, a
positive result.
One of the many interesting areas is color therapy.
The therapeutic effect of art therapy is achieved by exposure
to external color. It can be a painted light source (colored lamp), interior
details selected in a color scheme in unison with the room, colored
walls, multi-colored mosaic of glass, paintings ... Perception of color through
vision affects the emotional state, changing it.
Let's look around. Even nature has a “reasonable”
color scheme. In the summer, everything turns bright green. And we know that
green (especially its light colors) is a symbol of life. It harmonizes, fills
us with energy. If we talk about the sky - it is often blue. Blue color has a
pacifying effect, therefore it is no coincidence that when it becomes gray and
faded, our mood begins to deteriorate.
But the whole gamut of bright colors positively
excites, pleases. Rainbow, butterflies, flowers show us a whole range of
colors! It is also interesting that the word "flowers", which we all
love so much, came from the Greek "anthos" - "color". In
fact, “flowers” are “a lot of color.” We associate motleyness with our
childhood (colorful toys), with a holiday (balls, gifts), with summer holidays
(“sun, sky and water”) ... That is, with a good mood.
Space does not tolerate emptiness. And how is it
reasonable that the largest “parts of matter” (sky, sea, plants) have colors
that positively affect us! It is impossible to imagine the sky red and the
vegetation purple ...
In color therapy, brightness and color saturation
are important. When the sun shines brightly - all colors in nature become
juicy, saturated, and we feel full of energy. If the sun is hiding behind the
clouds or tilting over the horizon, the color scheme around turns pale, and we
become sluggish, slow. But when night falls - we don’t see any colors at all
(or, rather, see only black), and we’re lost in space and time.
Therefore, it can be argued that our emotions are
directly related to color. If you focus on color therapy, you can regain your
positive emotions, and with them a good mood, which is directly related to our
performance, self-confidence, success.
In order for color therapy to act constantly, but
not to be intrusive, surround yourself with the “right” colors. For example, a
room on the north side should be decorated in warm (sunny) colors, and a
nursery should be in bright colors with bright ornaments. Flowering plants are
also a great way to recharge your batteries, and along the way - decorate the
room. Well, the paintings remain irreplaceable. Choose them in a color scheme
that will cheer you up.
