The colours of the rainbow speak volumes and nature has its own language for communicating with us and lighting up our life through colour. Imagine for a moment what our world would be like if we only had black and white, and the in-between shades of grey.

Each colour has its own vibrational frequency. Yellow represents sunshine, happiness and creativityred strength and courageblue patience and stabilitypink love and compassionpurple royalty and powergreen healing, growth and prosperity. White is a symbol of truth, purity and cleanliness.

Any decorator or designer will tell you how important colour is in our lives. People's interest in colour therapy has increased enormously in recent years. It is true that by looking at certain colours, or being surrounded by them, either through wall colourings or flowers and fabrics, there is an influence on the moods of the soul.

Since the face is the mirror of the mind, moods do without doubt reflect through the 'colour', i.e. the state, of our being. When sick, we are pale. When pleased, we are as 'pink as peach' and when shy we go 'red as a tomato'. But is it really possible to change moods simply by sitting in front of a colour? Since colours make us 'feel' something, the soul is therefore responding to that particular frequency. This is reflected in our aura and if we take a moment to look within we find how colourful our world truly is. If we have weak and negative thoughts, doubts and worries, we 'cloud' our internal colours, 'dull' those shades, and we are left feeling depressed, without beauty or radiance. Everything seems colourless. Yet in those moments, we should remember that every cloud has a silver lining.

Each colour is in fact a virtue and the more we apply it to ourselves and others, the more we reinforce that tint on the soul. By emerging more and more virtues, we make the soul and our life colourful. Every virtue can be likened to a flower, each having its own fragrance, and together creating a beautifully scented bouquet.

This week, bring some colour into your life by emerging your hidden virtues. Be courageous. Be peaceful with yourself. Share love with those around you. Be kind to someone new in your life. Be generous towards those less privileged. But most of all be pure in your motives. These are some of the colours that will 'cheer up' the colour palette of your life.

Funnily enough, when we are full of all colours, we arrive at white, which is the compound of all colours, symbolizing simplicity and contentment!
