Yesterday at Self Management, we were joined by Linda Brennan who delivered a colour therapy session 😀 - it was a lovely relaxing and insightful session as the group shared the memories that colour can bring. 🌈

Key Psychological & Physical Benefits:
Practitioners and enthusiasts claim that specific colours target different aspects of your well-being.

Stress Reduction:
Cool tones like blue and green are known for their calming effects, which can help lower heart rates, reduce anxiety, and ease muscle tension. 💚

Mood Enhancement & Energy:
Warm colours such as yellow and orange are believed to stimulate mental activity, boost motivation, and encourage feelings of happiness. 🧡
