Colour Therapy: how colours can affect the way we feel
“Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets inside them.
Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.”
– Man of Honor
The last few weeks on the blog spot here at SNHS have been hugely geared towards combatting negative emotions. I think it’s important to address the fact that every single one of us suffers from negativity. A negativity that we ourselves have created and continue to nurture in the dark parts of our mind. Some of us carry more baggage than others, and those who greatly suffer will find they all have one thing in common: They have trouble letting go. Whether it be a constant reoccurrence throughout their lifetime, or just one particular issue that they can’t move on from. When we cannot let go, we’re trapped.
Holding on to bad moments from the past, and becoming stressed, anxious or depressed over things far out of our control will only ruin us. One of the most important lessons we all learn in this life is when to fight. You only have so much emotional energy each day, so don’t waste it fighting battles that don’t matter. Don’t waste it dwelling on a past that cannot be changed. Instead, choose wisely where to place your emotional energy, if you must peak into the past, let it be for learning purposes. Feel free to plan for the future, but remember that you’re living for today.
For when you let go
Would you care to know
That you’re creating space
To expand consciousness
I think all revelations in life deserve appropriate soundtracks. Here we go:
Moby – Porcelain
“As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind”
Atl J – Bloodflood
“Tide out, tide in, a flood of blood
To the heart through the fear slipstreams
Breath in, exhale”
Frou Frou – Let Go
“Such boundless pleasure
We’ve no time for later now
You can’t await your own arrival”
Noah and The Whale – L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N
“On my last night on earth, I won’t look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light”
Steve Benjamins – The Infidelity of Language
“Beneath every hopeful sentence
Beyond every probing question
There are rivers that are flowing
They are colliding in this moment”
Modest Mouse – Float On
“Don’t you worry even if things end up a bit
Too heavy we’ll all float on alright”
Lanks – Boniki
Blue October – Fear
“The beauty is
I’m learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free”
Keb Mo – That’s Not Love
“You’re down on your knees
Scared he’s gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You’re gonna have to let go”
Paolo Nutini – New Shoes
“Take me wandering through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet,
Stone to stone they take me on
I’m walking till’ the break of dawn”
