Feng Shui: Color Healing


Different colors vibrate at different frequencies. Energy healing is not a novel idea. The art of Feng Shui provides us with the ability to apply color in our life in order to achieve a healthier flow of chi and reach a body and mind balance.

Color had been used to even describe our mental states such as red with rage, feeling blue or peachy and being green with envy. The colors covered here are primarily intended to provide you with ideas about color coordination in your wardrobe and to strengthen your chi level.
