A Home Designed to Heal
WITH LYNNE NIEHAUS
We are about to embark on a color journey that is designed to help you thrive in your home.
Whether you are suffering from any physical or emotional ailments or you just want to feel your best in your home, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!
Although we think of colors as static, they are actually wavelengths of light. In order to see them, our eyes (which are part of our neurological system) use electrochemical reactions to send the information to your brain to tell you what color something is. It only makes sense that can cause a physiological response in your body.
And research has shown that different colors affect different systems in your body triggering different emotions or feelings.
In Part 1 of this three-part series, you will learn how to tap into the energetic power of each individual color to make it work for you.
You will learn how to use (or lose!) colors that will affect both how you feel about your home
AND
how to feel better in it!
For as long as I can remember, I have had an intense relationship with color. I have very strong, full body reactions to color.
I am hypersensitive to color.
We have been conditioned to think that is a BAD thing.
BUT IT IS NOT!
During my time away from the podcast, one of the things that I did was become laser focused on healing a malady in my hand that I have been struggling with for nearly 10 years. In that process, I stumbled upon the brilliant work of Inna Segal. She uses (and teaches!) color as a tool for physical healing.
For all of the years that I have been working in the Home Decor and Design Industry I have had the pleasure of clients sharing with me how much physically better they felt after making the color changes that I had suggested. I have a drawer full of beautiful letters that I treasure. I know that this extreme way that I see and feel color is a gift. One that I love sharing.
But in Inna Segal's The Secret Language of the Body, I found a written account of what I have always felt but had no words for. I don't know of anything that has ever resonated more!
I dove in head first. And share what I have uncovered in this and the next 2 episodes!
As I began studying this work, I began to see the parallels to what I naturally feel as I work on spaces with clients. And I recognized how powerful it could be if we ALL understood it!
Over the next 3 episodes, I will work through the various colors that I feel will have the most impact by understanding and strategically utilizing.
This episode starts with the most basic colors in design.
BLACK
BLUE
BROWN (including wood)
GOLD
AND GREEN
As I walk you through the value of each color in a room design, I also teach you how to recognize if it is something you need more of to pull your space together. Or might need LESS of depending on the emotional responses that it causes.
- the specific emotional traits of each of the 5 colors discussed
- examples of ways to use them
- why they are important to the overall design of a space
- what it might mean when a color "triggers" you or you have an aversion to it
- why it is important to move all the way through your emotions and how colors assist in that process
- how to detect when you have too much of a color even if it is a color that you love!
