Blue is another very useful color. Although it is considered a masculine color in the west, blue is actually a Feminine Lunar Symbol. Blue symbolism is nearly universal in its meaning.
When you think of blue, think of the blue sky that covers the earth. And, since we have left its atmosphere, the Earth appears as a blue planet when viewed from outer space. Blue is symbolic of the blue sky and what we once believed lay beyond it. We believed that the sky was the membrane that separated us from Heaven and our creator. It is Lunar because it is a creative symbol.
All of the qualities of the sky are symbolized in blue. It is the color of meditation, tranquillity, openness, expansiveness, freedom, forgiveness, clairvoyance, peace, mystery and depth.
Blue is also symbolized by lake and ocean water which appears blue to us in many instances. The main reason for its color is that large bodies of water reflect the blue of our sky. Blue is symbolic of the source of life because it is symbolic of a fluid that is essential for life.
As a Psychic Medium, blue represents the transfer of energy from spirit as it communicates with me. And I believe it is the color of the psychic who is in contact with another plane of existence.
Blue is very useful in rituals and meditation for it calming effect. It is also used to place the mind in a receptive, psychic state when working with spirit. Light blue is used in hospitals to calm patients as well as those who work within its walls.
Dark blue takes on some different symbolic meanings from light blue. It is symbolic of expertise, stability, control , strength, integrity, seriousness, intelligence, unity, and represents knowledge. Dark blue is a more serious and conservative color than light blue. Dark blue loses some of its Lunar qualities and begins to take on Solar qualities as it gets darker. A good example of this is the use of dark blue in police uniforms. In that instance, it conveys control, expertise and power.
Look for my next post about the symbolic meaning of another color. We still have a few more to go.
