Emotions mirror the vivid hues of a rainbow, they have a diverse spectrum of experiences that encompass different shades and intensities. Blues range in depth for sadness or sorrow, while reds and pinks for anger. Joyfulness and happiness could be the shades of yellow.
I'm just returning from West Virginia where my eldest son attends college. We saw some beautiful fall color displayed in the rolling hills that went on and on for as far as you could see. Of course we know that the array of colors is what made the scenery so beautiful. Having colors that are close to each other on a color scale, side by side on a hillside brought such beautiful contrast and created a new appreciation for the individual colors. Of course the colors were so much more when in contrast with one another versus by themselves.
Just as a rainbow creates one beautiful, connected arch of rich colors, so do our emotions for our human experience. Different shades and intensities ultimately create complexity and wholeness in our life experience. It is having all of the colors of the rainbow that create such a beautiful human experience. Having all of the emotions help us learn empathy, understanding and connection with others which go further in creating depth to our relationships and our lens in life.
Sometimes our emotions have layers that overlap and blend giving us colorful emotions that can be complex. We can feel a subtle blending of emotions like anger and also feel astonishment or surprise at the same time. Learning the complexity of our emotions can help us understand ourselves and teach us to give ourselves grace and compassion as we process different emotions.
Our emotional palette can mirror the complexity of our inner world. Learning to identify our emotions by color can help us understand our emotions and ourselves better.
