wishstudio : color pallet inspiration :: january {white}

White is purity, a fresh start, an open expanse, endless possibilities, and a blank page or a clean canvas – everything we associate with a new year and a new beginning.  white is often also thought of as cleanliness, so if you are thinking about clearing and cleansing out your physical space, your body or your mental clutter, channeling white is wonderful.

White is also the first chakra right above your head and it represents purity and balance. It contains all the colors and is sometimes referred to as ‘the many colored lotus’. white is aligned with the moon and is connected to sleep (or insomnia), and dreams.  too much white and you could be left feeling cold, drained, and empty.

White’s element is Air

here are a few ideas inspired by this month’s color, White:

* buy a new journal, fresh pages for a fresh start

* light white candles that invite in the ambiance of space

* create an inspiring “white” pin board (on pinterest) choosing images you love

* dress in white in something that makes you feel pretty

* try a gentle food cleanse

* take long bubble baths

* sit in lotus for a few cleansing breaths of quiet meditation

* bring more light into your days during these darker months

* dress your bed in white linens

* try white tea for a less caffeinated and more delicate sip

* wear moonstone or pearl

* de-clutter your office or workspace

* write freestyle for a few pages each day to keep your mind clear
