Area Rugs By Color
Color has been proven to have a direct influence on a person’s thoughts, moods, and behavior.
Individuals have specific and predictable physiological responses to specific colors.
The photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, known as cones, translate visible radiant energy into different colors depending on the wavelengths. There are three kinds of cones: one for blue, one for red and one for green. The combination of these three colors by the brain results in the perception of different colors. Light energy that enters the body through the eyes or the skin through the pituitary and pineal glands, results in the production of certain hormones, which trigger certain physiological processes that help physical and emotional balance.

I was looking for area rugs and I came across a post on the physiology of colors. That’s interesting! This is the only post I have come across that talks about the relation between the color of area rugs and the way it makes us feel. I never knew there was a scientific explanation for why certain people are attracted to certain colors! Strange that I should learn about this from a website on carpets!

the subject is interesting and so is this brief description of the functioning of our eyes. however, i have one question. what happens with color blind people? which part of their eyes or brain is it that fails to respond to light normally, and as the result of which suffer color blindness?

if color influences one’s emotions and moods, i guess one can keep negative moods and feelings in check somewhat,by using area rugs of the appropriate color. area rugs, in that case, must serve more than one purpose.

After reading this article, it got me thinking. The colors on the brain model you have that correspond with receptiveness, aspirations, and moral are the major colors I’ve used to decorate my living space. How intriguing? I wonder what that says about me?

now I know why certain colors are considered ‘happy colors’ or ‘depressing colors’. didn’t know there was such a perfectly scientific reason for people’s likes and dislikes.Personally, I think this is the best way to make color choices for area rugs.

interesting…that area rugs should have any therapeutic value! My husband has high blood pressure. he is on medication but I have to keep watch on what he eats all the time. Reading the “area rugs by color” page, I feel like may be I should have blue rugs in our bedroom.

My 15 year-old daughter suffers from an anxiety problem – she gets too easily exited over trifles, and reacts strongly if someone tries to reason with her or obstructs her actions in any way. Reading about the healing properties of brown, I feel that may be getting a brown rug for her bedroom will do some good.

This rich legacy of color healing left by the ancient Chinese and Indians is truly marvelous. one can’t help wondering how they discovered these subtle secrets, given the fact that they had none of the scientific instruments or lab equipments we have now.

as I was reading “area rugs by color” a very obvious question occurred to me. not all the members in your family are likely to have the same moods or emotional states – no two persons are alike. so how can you make the healing properties of the color of your carpets to work for all of them?

the article,”area rugs by color”, is very helpful…my husband has high blood pressure and my eight-year-old son has hyperactivity problem. obviously, no one color is going to work for both of them. Is there any way I get around this difficulty?

the article is interesting. I would like to read more about this ancient oriental healing technique, particularly chi energies. can anyone suggest any reliable source?

Is there any color that is beneficial to everybody, that heals all kinds of ailments? I have a family of four; and neither I, nor my husband, is able to determine, from reading this article, what color is suitable for whom.

I read about color healing in this article and am truly fascinated with it…never heard about it before. I suffer from rheumatism. Reading this article gave me an idea – since people suffering from rheumatism are known to benefit from blue, may be if I get a blue rug for my bedroom floor it will do me good too…I think I’ll give it a try.

In the article “Pink Area Rugs” it says that the emotional reactions that color brings about differ from person to person. I can’t help wondering how even color therapy can be possible if this be so, because any science must be based on some laws or regularities. if the same medicine has one effect on me and another for you, then it can’t very well be relied on, can it?

I am an enthusiast of everything Chinese – Chinese movies, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese medicine. I have heard of the use of chi energies in kung fu, but how it is related to color healing I do not know. Is there any source from which I could learn more about this relation.

this wonderful ancient healing technique should be integrated with our modern medical science, this way not only will this ancient art be preserved, but also modern science will get enriched.
