Healthy Living

Color & Wellbeing

This is a series of articles by contributor and color expert Diantha Harris that will guide you in discovering how to use colors to support your life and wellbeing. The series begin with two introductory articles, then continue by following the colors of the chakras, starting with the root, which is red, and culminating with the crown, which is purple/violet.

I suggest you beging with the introductory articles, but by all means, do start from wherever you are inspired. Finally there are two posts by me, one offering you a simple way to receive color therapy via free downloadable wallpapers for your computer, and one about Diantha’s wonderful book: Simply Color for Everyday Living.

Some of these articles include affiliate links, but these are all products I truly love.

Enjoy the colors!

In the last few days I noticed how the light and the colors in nature have shifted. The sweltering heat may disagree, but the light is softer and there are more yellow tones overall in nature, and greens are more subdued in the trees, especially the big ones.

I notice this every year, increasingly more keenly since becoming a photographer and thus having learned to constantly evaluate the light. Noticing this subtle transition seems to happen no matter where I am. I used to notice it even when I lived in Hawai’i, where there are no deciduous trees and this shift is much more subtle….

Happy Birthday to my gorgeous Mum! 83 and counting! ❤️
So grateful she is still with us, especially after the scare she gave us a year ago.

This is a portrait (of a series) I did a few years ago with one of her beloved gowns. Definitely a princess, don’t you think? ❤️

She is saying you should go and treat yourselves to some cake, or better yet, her favorite dessert: Panna Cotta!
xoxo
