The 5 Healing Colors
Adapted from The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching, by Mantak Chia and Tao Huang (Inner Traditions, 2005).
According to Chinese medicine, the “Five Healing Colors” can purify and heal all the pathways in the body, and the colors are traditionally used to harmonize the organs. When you visualize these universal energetic color forces, the organs become purified.
Even if you don’t have organs in stress, this is a wonderfully cleansing and preventative exercise for your whole body:
Use this guided meditation using any one of the organs using the appropriate color:
1. Sit calmly but alertly.
2. Pay attention to the calm place behind your mid-brow.
3. Think of something you love, and relax.
4. Bring your attention to the organ in need of attention.
5. Picture the organ, feeling the love you experienced in #3.
6. Picture the organ as a rose that is the color required, and imagine the rose slowly opening.
Repeat until the color radiates through and from the organ.
7. Breath out the colored light
Blue: The healing color of the kidneys.
Red: The healing color of the heart.
Green: The healing color of the liver.
White: The healing color of the lungs.
Yellow: The healing color of the spleen.

A closed mind can heal nothing.
The joy of an open mind is knowing that anything is possible.
The 'power' of colour has been proven and accepted in even the most surprising places. Think of the experiments, and then the follow-ups of painting rooms soft pink to soothe violent behaviours. Think of how we dress: dark conservative colours for business and serious occasions; red to exude power and confidence; pink to bring out femininity and sensuality (or on a male: self-confidence, fun, and openess); bright and wild combinations to make us feel... well, tropical and on vacation!
Medical practitioners are not there to heal us. I believe they are there to teach and guide us to heal ourselves. I know I could sure use more knowledge and guidance in most every area of my life!

I think color plays an important role in our lifes without uus noticing. Even nature chooses colors to impress us!

I was hoping there would be a healing color for the stomach and intestinal area. I guess there wouldn't be since these aren't considered organs :(

I really think some sensibility is called for:
If colors could really heal us all, there would never be any need to seek help from any kind of medical practitioners.
Picture this
I wouldn't allow anyone to play mind games with my precious health.

Color is unpredictable. Color can surprise you when you thought you had made up your mind. Color is something you have in your head or when you see it are fascinated by it. In my rose garden, 88 roses wait to burst forth with color that nature decides for us. A rose of deep orange magnitude, something I never would have chosen, surprises me with her beauty and daring. NEVER would I have chosen this color, yet I am more pleased with her because her unique color is so vibrant I cannot resist her and pick her for my room and stare at her in awe. Her beauty and color something I never would have even imagined because it was not something I was trained to like. I do love her for her daring and vibrancy. She almost glows with a hypnotising orange mixed with red yellow. Dayglow is more appropriate to call her yet, I would never place a dayglow in my refined, well mannered garden. I am pleased to see her and adore her for being something out of my ordinary.

I am a fashion color consultant and not only do I wear different colors but my home has different colors on the walls. I love it -- makes me feel happier and healthier. Color and Feng Shui are interesting topics.
