Use Colour therapy to balance energy wherever our minds are lacking, be it emotional, spiritual or mental. Some of the tools that can be used are gemstones, candles, prisms, fabrics, baths or eye wear. Note your attraction to a certain colour and this may signal areas where you are imbalanced. Understand why certain colours effect us favourably while others bring about negative feelings.
