There is magic in our surroundings. We are in a constant dialogue with the world around us. How we contribute to that dialogue is key to the reciprocal influence of our environment on ourselves. In other words, it is important to be mindful in the assemblage of a space as the impact it has on our experience is significant.

In itself, color can have a profound effect on us on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It has been observed, as well as scientifically proven, that our emotions, mental processes, physiology and general state of being are influenced by color to varying degrees. Here is the mechanical process: wavelengths and frequencies of color enter our eye stimulating rods and cones, nervous impulses of the color channel go to the brain as well as the pituitary and pineal glands via the hypothalamus- an important section of the brain that regulates body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, metabolism, expression of emotions and sexual behaviors. Knowing all this makes color seem pretty important doesn’t it?
