Feeling Blue....and Reflecting on the Color Blue

When we are feeling sad, down, or melancholy, we often say that we are feeling “blue.”  The color blue, however, has a very different symbolic meaning.  The sky and sea are blue on a clear sunny day.  When we take in a blue scene, our metabolism slows and results in soothing and tranquility.  Lighter shades of blue are associated with healing.  Darker shades are indicative of knowledge and power.  Blue is associated with the qualities of intelligence, wisdom, consciousness, loyalty, trust, confidence, faith, and truth.

A “blue” day provides an opportunity for reflection on the color blue…an opportunity for surrounding ourselves with blue scenery…an opportunity for soothing and healing…and an opportunity for letting the tranquil, positive power flow into us.
