The hidden imbalance of colour

Why do some colours drain us, while others make us feel alive? What's the connection to overall balance? Read on! (Sept 20th 2026)

Can you imagine waking up one morning and looking around you everything is coloured in white? The walls, the sofas, the plants, the rugs... Everything that up to last night was drenched in colour and presence is now just one unified, terrifying shade of white? Of yellow? Or blue?

Most of us see colours, or at least the grouping of colours, I believe, as nature intended. I used to have a friend who was colour blind, and every colour I pointed to, he would say, 'this looks like a funny shade of brown', or 'a weird shade of blue', and I always used to wonder to myself, who is to say what colours really are, or who sees them accurately, if colours and accurately can even go in the same sentence...

When I did my Body Code certification (one of the healing modalities I use every day now), I learnt that colours are frequencies, or more specifically, each colour carries its own vibrational frequency. Where this becomes really interesting for my clients and me, is when we start being told that we have too much or too little of a specific colour vibration, depending on what we're trying to heal or release.

What I thought would be pretty fascinating today is to share with you what each colour frequency actually means, so that even if you're not signing up to healing with me, you can at least give yourself a good chance of balance. If nothing else, this is truly fascinating.

Before I start, I just want to mention that whether you have too much or too little of a certain colour could have an opposite reaction on your overall balance. We will explore this together next. And another point which is worth mentioning: 90% of the time, it's either the colour black or the colour white that is coming up for people in order for them to have more of, or less of, depending on their imbalance. Too much of a colour can become toxic, which is why we really want to pay attention to this right now.

The following has not come from the Body Code, but from various resources I found to help me share these points with you.

Just a little disclaimer before we dive in: these are possibilities, rather than rules. We are all wonderfully individual, and I don't believe that seeing yourself in one of these descriptions means that a particular colour is definitely “missing” or “in excess” for you. I’m sharing them as a way of becoming more curious about yourself and noticing what resonates. Your body may have a completely different story to tell you.

Some of you will recognise the correlation of some of the colours with the 7 chakras. This is not a coincidence.

The reason I wanted to share these possibilities is that sometimes, when we feel out of balance, something as simple as becoming more consciously aware of colour can be a lovely place to start. You might notice the colours you're naturally drawn to, the ones you avoid, or simply experiment with bringing more of a particular colour into your environment, through what you wear, what you eat, or what you surround yourself with.

And if you're still curious about the deeper reasons why you're feeling out of balance, feel free to book a connection call with me, so we can get a little deeper into your (current) subconscious blocks!

The order of things...

People always ask me what comes first - the thought, the feeling or the behaviour.
Well, in this image, they call the initial ignition a 'frequency', but I tend to call it a trigger. An internal one or an external one, this doesn't matter. But always, something needs to happen to trigger a chain reaction of thoughts, feelings, behaviour, and finally - your reality. The good news is that when you change how you respond to your triggers, you can also change your reality.
It can be done!

Dottie's Corner

They might say it started as any other Saturday, but my stomach was in knots for too long before that, to know this was not the case.
My personal person got up in the morning and packed a lot of stuff. There were words of reassurance, and words of defiance, and there were more tears than all the water of the Thames in a super rainy season.
At the end of the day, my person, her sister and mum climbed into the neatly packed car and drove off, and me? I was left behind and somehow expected to be just fine!
It's been a week since my person went off to Uni, and I must say that I don't like it. I hear we might meet this coming weekend, but as always, I'm the last to find out!

Ways to work with me


Heart Wall - half-hour session	Untangle & Realign: 2-hour 1:1 session	Energy Healing like no other
If you're tired of feeling tired, exhausted, unloved, or like everything you do is an effort, there is something you can do about it! Most people have a heart wall - made out of trapped emotions, hanging on to dear life trying to protect you. In a Heart Wall clearing session, we clear trapped emotions from this life, previous lives and also those which were passed down to you from your ancestors, or others.	A two-hour space to step out of the noise, understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, and begin letting go of what’s been holding you back. These two hours are deep and freeing, and part conversation, part healing. You may leave with a new understanding of yourself, a shift in perspective, and a sense that things don’t have to stay the way they are.	Whether you're feeling blocked, stuck or unwell, be it physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, my energy healing modalities can help. With the Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief Code, we connect with your subconscious mind to find out the root cause of your blocks, and then we release them. Easy, simple, and effective. You have to try this for yourself to see why energy work is the true medicine of the future!

I work extensively with people to help them transform their lives from fears, limitations and compromises to harmony, alignment and joy, or in other words, helping people find natural healing to mind, body and soul.
