The Healing Colors of a Garden
By Linda Wiggen Kraft
The amazing rainbow that comes from white light’s
spectrum of electromagnetic vibration and energy, brightens
our diverse world. White light that holds all color within
brings life to earth. Each and every part of creation has
its own unique color essence, whether animate or inanimate.
The colors of plants and their flowers are unique in that
they bring the most living color to the world.
Colors brighten our world. We crave certain colors in our
homes, clothes, food and in all parts of our lives. Color
cravings bring us in contact with our soul’s longing
for the healing energy of light. Color is light and it heals
us, in the sense that it helps make us whole. The word heal
comes from the root whole. We all are on a healing journey
in life toward wholeness. That wholeness is expressed in
a rainbow of our own colors that are part of our subtle
energy system of chakras. The seven chakras are arranged
like a rainbow from the base of our spine to the top of
our heads. The qualities of each chakra range from physical
passion, creativity, self-awareness, compassion, truth,
all seeing, and all knowing or enlightenment. The seven
colors of the chakras correspond with each of the seven
rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet.
The colors we crave bring the qualities of the colors we need
to our own subtle energy fields, which support our own physical
being. The living colors of flowers are different than colors
from a chemist’s caldron. Flower colors have a powerful
life force that radiates the essence of living light. When
we want to bring the energy of a particular color’s
quality into our lives bring flowers with those colors into
homes, work places and gardens. By bringing those colors into
those spaces, we enliven our own colors, the colors of our
chakras, with the living colors of flowers. If certain color
qualities are needed, like passion, grow red flowers; more
creativity grow orange flowers; more self-awareness, grow
yellow; more compassion, grow green; more truth grow blue;
more intuition and all seeing, grow indigo; and more wisdom;
grow violet flowers. If you want the healing energies of all
colors, or are not sure what would be best colors to help
in your journey to wholeness, grow white which contains all
colors, along with all the other colors of a rainbow.
