No matter where you are in the world, a spectrum of colors will surround you, each of them possessing their own subliminal meanings and purpose. Artists and interior designers have long used color to evoke feelings and emotions through their work. Colors have always been believed to have an influence on our mood, thoughts, and behavior. Chromatherapy is a centuries-old concept where color wavelengths are used to heal the mind and body. The colors used in Chromatherapy are thought to restore balance to the body's energy pathways.

The therapeutic benefits of colors are trending today in yoga classes. You too can experience the therapeutic benefits of colors by mindfully selecting paint, decor and furniture accents throughout your office and home.
