Hi everyone, welcome to day 8 of the Intro to colour therapy lives. Today we will be doing two colours, Pink and Turquoise.

Intro:
Pink is essentially a light red hue and is typically associated with love and romance.
Pink is thought to have a calming effect. Sports teams sometimes paint the opposing team’s locker room pink to keep the players passive and less energetic.
Pink is often described as a feminine colour, perhaps largely due to associations people form during early childhood.
Since the colour is so strongly associated with femininity, people sometimes associate the colour with qualities that are often thought of as feminine, such as softness, kindness, nurturance, and compassion.
Pink is considered Red (Life) with more light (consciousness) added. While pink’s calming effect has been demonstrated, researchers of colour psychology have found that this effect only occurs during the initial exposure to the colour. When used in prisons, inmates often become even more agitated once they become accustomed to the colour.

Turquoise is believed to provide protection from any negativity and to attract prosperity. In the home, turquoise can establish a connection to the elements, especially water and air. This calming as well as uplifting colour can bring peace and higher energy to any space. It can be applied as a wall colour or accent colour for children’s rooms, home offices, and family rooms. Use turquoise in moderation, as too much of this colour can cause us to become overly analytical, fussy, and egocentric.
