Dear Reader,
I was recently talking to a good friend, who confided in me that he was experiencing anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and a general feeling of not being able to ‘slow down’ and relax. He asked whether a solution would be to integrate some colour into his life.
There are colours that can help to calm us down, but there is one in particular which has a positive effect on the nervous system and brain and has, for centuries, been proven to aid insomnia and restless nights. This wonderful colour is violet/lavender.
Visualising and integrating this colour can calm mental hyperactivity, allowing the brain to ‘settle’ and recharge during a good nights sleep. The balance between melatonin; the hormone for sleep and serotonin; the feel good hormone is essential to produce both a good sleep and waking feeling refreshed and invigorated.
It is essential to ‘nurture’ the brain as this incredible organ controls our hormone systems, all our body systems, temperature, pulse, sleeping and eating patterns. Violet and purple food has a diuretic and sedative effect on the body, supporting metabolism and has been found to suppress hunger. These foods are all purple berries, aubergines, purple grapes, purple plums, purple broccoli, purple onions and artichokes.
 
Use a few drops of lavender essential oil in a bath before bed or on your bed pillow. Not only does lavender smell lovely, but it brings peace and calm to the brain and body. You can wear violet accessories or clothing to experience more relaxation or communicating a message of calmness.
Have a relaxed week,
