We are approaching a new year and for some of us that means a new beginning, a chance to wipe the slate clean, so to speak. With that in mind I consider the color white. White affects the mind and body by aiding in mental clarity, promoting feelings of fresh beginnings and renewal, assisting in cleansing, clearing obstacles and clutter, and encouraging the purification of thoughts and actions.

White is a color of protection and encouragement, offering a sense of peace and calm, comfort and hope, helping alleviate emotional upsets. It creates a sense of order and efficiency, a great help if you need to declutter your life. White offers an inner cleansing and purifying of your spirit, refreshing and strengthening your entire energy system. Surround yourself with this color as you enter 2014.
