What if healing could begin with a shift in color?
The colors we surround ourselves with—on our walls, in our clothing, and even in our daily choices—can impact our energy, mood, and sense of inner peace.
This isn’t just aesthetic; it’s therapeutic. It’s called color therapy, or chromotherapy.
Here’s how you can bring the healing power of color into your daily life:
1. Your Home as a Healing Space
Each room in your home carries a different energy. You can support that energy with color:
- Bedroom: Soft blues, greens, or lavenders calm the nervous system and invite restful sleep.
- Living Room: Warm earth tones or light oranges encourage connection, joy, and comfort.
- Kitchen: Yellow or fresh green uplifts and supports digestion.
- Workspace: Cool tones like blue or gray paired with yellow accents can boost focus and clarity.
2. Dressing with Intention
Clothing is a daily opportunity to choose how you want to feel:
- Red: For courage, power, and action.
- Green: For harmony, healing, and renewal.
- Blue: For peace and authentic communication.
- White or Yellow: For lightness, clarity, and optimism.
- Purple: For spiritual alignment and deeper connection.
Sometimes I wake up anxious and reach for blue or soft pink to calm my spirit.
Other days, when I need bold energy, I go for red or coral. Color becomes an intuitive tool—a visual prayer for what I want to call into my life.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
When we bring awareness to our choices, even something as simple as a shirt or pillow becomes part of our healing journey.
Color is one of the most ancient languages of the soul. Are you listening?

Finding My Voice: A Writer’s Journey
By Mindy Morasha Rubenstein I began this journey as a writer before I knew exactly what I was writing about. I was the “lost child” in my family, growing up in chaos, and I didn’t know how to rescue others — but I did know I had a voice. I would later discover that writing…
The Hidden Abuse No One Talks About
I don’t have any bruises or scars, so you’d never know. What actually constitutes emotional or financial abuse can be so subtle.

Yom Kippur: Science & Spirit
higher purpose Yom Kippur is called the holiest day of the year. But what does holy really mean?

Shabbat is holy because it is…

Rosh Hashanah Is Not the Real New Year
Here in Eretz Yisrael, as the heavy heat of summer finally eases, you can feel the season shifting. The nights cool, the air softens, and the earth prepares for rain. Grapes and figs have been harvested, the balance of the equinox arrives, and a new moon rises in the autumn sky. This is not the…
Reframing Rosh Hashanah: From Judgment to Renewal
For women in recovery, the language of guilt and judgment is familiar — and often toxic. But real healing doesn’t come from shame. It comes from connecting with a Higher Power and living from our higher self. That’s the essence of recovery, and it can also be the essence of this season if we choose…
Apples, Honey, and the Feminine Breath of Life
Rosh Hashanah begins with food that is also prayer. We dip apples into honey, we bake round challot, we place pomegranates on the table. These are not just traditions but symbols of what we long for in the year ahead. The word that threads through it all is חיים – Chayim – Life. Why Apples…
