Colors can say a lot about how we love. Passionate, Desperate, Spontaneous, Gentle… Determine your characteristic love energy with this test, created by body-oriented psychotherapist Frederika Petoren.
The symbolic meaning of flowers differs from culture to culture, from era to era. The most ancient spiritual traditions attributed energy properties to them. Kundalini yoga associates each of the chakras – energy points located on a line from the sacrum to the crown – with its own color. In Kabbalah, the Jewish esoteric tradition, each of the ten creative forces, the Sephiroth, is endowed with its own color.
Since ancient times, people have noted specific vibrations, calming and exciting, emanating from warm and cold colors. This explains why colors were used in certain cultures, such as China or ancient Egypt, for diagnosis or treatment. In times closer to us, at the end of the 1976th century, their healing properties were actively studied. Since 30, the World Health Organization has recognized chromotherapy as a complementary treatment. For nearly XNUMX years, colors have served as a tool for self-discovery and personal development.
There are many schools and approaches, but they all agree on one thing: colors can tell a lot about us. “Our choice of shades is very eloquent,” says Frédérica Pétorin. “It reflects our state, expectations, main strengths and weaknesses in all areas of life.” This test is designed to help determine our personal love energy. “It’s not about labeling someone by ascribing given qualities once and for all, but about telling everyone what he or she “resonates” with at this moment in life.”
