You’ve chosen the “color” Chocolate! Mmm!
(We want your chocolate pics, read below).
Inna Segal, the person who developed “The Secret Language of Color” states that the color Chocolate should have us nourishing our body and soul. Since this is your color, you need to be paying more attention to your body and soul.
Know that your body and your soul are two different things. They sound good together, like in a song, but they are two different things. Our body seems to remind us via the aches and pains that we are neglecting it but our soul doesn’t often say anything because it waits to be talked to. You may be saying, “Fine, Ter, I do have aches and pains and my body feels like h***, so where do I start?” And really, how can I “nurture” my soul?
You will find as we work together that I usually will not answer your questions specifically or directly. The intent of these Color Communications is to lead you to seek your own answers. When you join me in doing a little research about your color you’ll find things which resonate and speak to you as they never could to me because you are you and I am me. Your color is your color and you need to add it to your background of situations and life experiences along with your current situation for it to make real sense for you, and it will.
Since Chocolate is also a food, we’ll explore that avenue, along with the color’s symbolism, background and other attributes. You chose what is meant for you (at this time) and take some action to “nourish your body and soul”. Let’s get started.
Wikipedia tells us, The color chocolate is a tone of dark brown that resembles chocolate.
This site https://www.bourncreative.com/meaning-of-the-color-brown/ offers, The color brown is a warm color that stimulates the appetite. While it is sometimes considered dull, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health.
Are you seeing anything that you can work with? Appetite and health have to do with chocolate. But also things like friendliness and dependability. If you want to convey that, wear brown (Chocolate).
Here’s a site which tells the meanings of symbols we see on our Chocolate bars; it’s very interesting and worth the look. http://www.divinechocolate.com/us/good-stuff/news/2013/4/adinkra-meaning-behind-symbols
According to another site https://hubpages.com/relationships/Meaning-Chocolate-Gift-Symbolic-Passion-Life Chocolate is the symbol of love which you and I know as it is usually the gift we like to give to others on special “romantic” holidays and occasions. But this may be the key, and the reason for you choosing this color, you probably need to give yourself the gift of love. What better way to nourish the body than to tell yourself that you love yourself? This may sound odd to you when I recommend this, but maybe you need to look at yourself in the mirror for 21 days and say out loud, “I love myself, I love myself… “ ten times. It becomes harder to treat yourself badly after a while when you know that you are hurting the one your love!
Then, when you are loved and well nourished, your well is full and you have something to give to others. When you are “empty” (undernourished) you have nothing or little to give. So fill yourself first to overflowing and then give. (HINT: One way of having more to give is to give when you think you have nothing to give).
We should probably deal with only your body or only your soul on an individual basis. Before we look anywhere else, what does your mind tell you about how to nourish (feed) your body? When we overfeed our body we are not nourishing it. When we neglect exercise, eating right, sleeping right and not taking into account other health factors, we are not nourishing our bodies. So consider all of those things.
Now, what do you think of when you need to nourish your soul? Time in church, with likeminded “believers”, having good relationships, having forgiveness, reading and having your own quiet time daily may be things that you “intuitively” know to do. How is that going for you?
Pull out you Color Journal, find your “Chocolate” colored pen and jot a few thoughts down as they come to you; things you are doing well and things you could improve. Don’t “beat” yourself up. Continue to do the things that make you better and “manage” the other.
Please write in your Color Journal but also leave your comments below to help others on their color journey. Your comment adds to their experience and is a very important piece to their need and adventure.
