The Meaning of Colors

                        ](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0876040121/ref=nosim/newagespiritu-20)		                                      
                  Colors are one of the most beautiful and also one of the most under-appreciated          aspects of the physical realm. We are surrounded by colors, but how often          do we notice the numerous subtleties in the myriad shades.
   Spiritually, color can impart both information - as in aura colors, and energy - as in healing. The aura is the spiritual energy field surrounding living beings which is "visible" to the psychically sensitive.
   This short article presents the meanings generally associated with the most common colors. Use these meanings as a starting point in your own explorations. We are each unique individuals and colors may hold different meanings for us than for others, just as a piece of music inspires different feelings in different people.
   Use colors to promote those qualities you wish to emphasize. Use them in your surroundings for qualities you wish to emphasize permanently. Wear clothes of appropriate colors to promote those qualities in a particular situation. You can also use colors simply by visualizing them, whether to promote their qualities or to exploit their healing energy for yourself or others.

Re: why not black

I disagree with all of those associating black with sadness/ mourning etc. On that note you could also say that white is also for mourning as that is a common colour worn at matams. I think that is such a thing of the past...having said that, I think you would only get away with wearing it on the Walima.
