A Mindful Sit with Hyssop

Color therapy is not new. It has been used for centuries around the world. In his book Aromatherapy and Chakras, Salvatore Battaglia shares that “colour therapy utilizes the vibrational frequency of the colours of the spectrum to correct imbalances or disharmony within the body”. A simplified example might be how you feel when wearing certain colors. A red sweater might make you feel confident and grounded, while a blue one might soothe and bring a sense of calm. Battaglia goes on to mention that Hyssop is vibrationally associated with the color of violet, which is related to the crown chakra stating, “Violet is considered a very spiritual colour and has a spiritual dedication. Violet is intuition. It calms emotional upsets. It aids in psychic ability and is a great colour for meditation.”
