Wow! It’s colortime. Spring is bursting forth everywhere. What a feast for our eyes… and spirit. After the gray of winter, we’re hungry for warm vibrant color.

Did you know that light is a nutrient, every bit as essential as vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates? Our bodies require the natural cycles of light and dark to function properly. The earth and all its inhabitants obtain energy from the sun’s rays.

How much light is there in your life? Do you spend much of your day in artificial light or shielded from the sun by tinted glass? Our bodies and spirit suffer when we don’t get outside every day.

How spectacular is your life’s spectrum? Through a glass prism, sunlight separates into the spectrum of seven distinct colors, each with its own wavelength. These colors correspond to the various organs and functions of our bodies as well as to our “chakras” or energy vortexes. That’s why color is both nurturing and healing.

How many opportunities do you create each day for your body-mind to feast on color? With regard to nutrition, when a meal is visually appealing and colorful, chances are it is also full of the various nutrients needed to create internal balance. Our attitudes are affected by color as well. Pay attention to the colors that surround you while you are at work and at rest. Notice whether they enhance, disturb, or deplete your energy, your ability to concentrate, or to relax.

Get into the swing of Spring and find ways to have color burst forth in your life inside and out. Be daring. Be promiscuous. Have a love affair with color… and a light affair with the sun. Your health and happiness may depend on it.
