Description

Change your life with the help of ancient Native American wisdom

The culture of Native Americans is one of the oldest in the world. Over the centuries the Shamans and teachers of the tribes have preserved the rich knowledge accumulated in their community in order to pass it on to the next generations.

One of the many secrets they have kept is the extraordinary properties of the Wheel of Colors: 

The wheel of colors will allow you to discover the colors that are best for you, so you can realize and maximize your potential in the best possible way. 

With its help, each and every one of us can acquire new insights into ourselves: 

* What are truly our strongest qualities? 

* How can we overcome our weaknesses and what should we be careful of?

* How can we be at our best during the most challenging moments?

Noah Goldhirsh is a therapist and senior lecturer. She has been developing new healing methods in alternative medicine for thirty-three years. In her book she shares the meaning of the colors that surround us, and how they affect us physically and psychologically. She shares treatment methods that are easy to understand and apply, so we too can completely change our lives and those of the people around us.

Advance Praise

I was blown away! Something so simple broken down into what could have become so complex but yet the author kept it simple, understandable, clear and sensible. I am so impressed that my amazement has the very best of me and my words. To think I just learned so much about myself and my surroundings by my favorite colors and others colors, and what they stand for and the meanings of them and much much more, oh wow! TadofDAT

What's your favorite color?

If you've ever been asked or have ever asked someone that question, please read this book! Yes, you, I'm talking to you color lover!

I loved this and especially exploring my color wheel and being in tune with every single aspect of my personality revealed in all the colors and as for my center, it's odd that I picked Crystal, and turns out it's the color of water and I'm a Pisces, a water sign through and through, it just blew my mind.
I love how hands on it is and that this is something that we can use to engage each other, nature and to heal as well. I loved reading this book and exploring colors now I don't just see them as plain colors but rather I'm challenged and inspired to cherish and learn from them.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

What a brilliant, engaging and informative book! Absolutely loved this. I'm very drawn to colour therapy and appreciate the power it holds for us all. The book is extremely easy to follow and understand and helps guide you through the process of creating your own personal colour wheel. You can take this book either in a light way so that you can just introduce yourself to the colours or you can get deep into the colour psychology and embrace the ancient rituals for yourself.

An absolute must for anyone interested in colour therapy or anyone who just feels intrigued as what this is all about! Also a brilliant gift idea as it applies to everyone. I will definitely be buying a hard copy when published to be added to my bookshelf.

Thank you BooksGoSocial and Netgalley.

I like how informative and descriptive the book was. I'm familiar with colour theory, yet most of the things was quite new for me.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for opportunity to read that title!

I enjoyed this book. I took Color Theory in college and it was primarily a study of the color wheel and the science of color. This book breaks down the psychology of color. The Author also discusses the history of color based on the wisdom derived from Native American ancient wisdom.
To me, the book read like the Astrology of color, colors were defined and their attributes labelled. The author encourages you to think of the healing properties of color and how to use it to improve your mental and physical well being.
The author does an excellent job providing practical advice and sharing personal stories.
Thank you Netgalley and Amazon for the opportunity to read and review this thought provoking book!

Thus book has everything you need to create and understand your own personal color wheel. I think that this would make a very special yoga retreat especially with the interconnectedness of your personal color wheel and the color of chakras and their healing.

The book lives up to the author’s claim that readers will learn new things about themselves. I have gained a new appreciation for my choice of colors and how my choices affect me. The research and the author’s illustrations are convincing that everyone will become wiser and healthier by paying attention to the advantages of the right color for the right reason. I would like to have my own copy for reference.

The principles of color therapy inspired by Native American culture will undoubtedly make life easier and happier when implemented, but beginners may find that setting up the personal color wheel (a must for devoted practitioners) takes more than a little effort. Still, I will gladly recommend the book for anyone interested in color therapy as an alternative health process.

I had done some research on colour therapy before but found it all so confusing. I thought this book would be interesting and maybe explain it a bit better. The first part of the book was good and I got a lot of info out of it but the second half of it I got completely confused on it all again and feel that this would be better understand on a one to one basis. Other than that it would be a good book for someone who could get their head around it

I wanted to read something different to what I normally do. I had a very basic understanding of 'colour theory' before reading the book so was interested to see what more I could learn. This book is very descriptive and informative and I really enjoyed it. It is well written and easy to understand. I found the book a fascinating read and would highly recommend to others.

This book fascinated me. The way we are aware of how we think of and react to color and the great information and data surrounding it. If you're are in touch with your personal energy you'll love the information detailed in this book. If you're not, this book will explain do many things. There are certain colors that cause me anxiety and some than make my calm and happy. A great read on color therapy, theory and more.

I wanted to read something that I've never read about before, and this book screamed my name. It was interesting to read about Native American wisdom about colours. And learning about the meaning of colour and their effect on our lives was highly fun. This book gave me a lot to talk about with family and friends, but I still need scientific data to believe it works. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in colours.

this book was okay. I found the idea of creating our own color wheel to be a fun and creative way to learn more about ourselves. This book is basically about color therapy using a color wheel and your intuition as a guide.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

I believe that so much of the world is still a mystery and it's worth giving every idea a chance, as long as it doesn't harm our well being or others as well. I am utterly intrigued by this book, most especially since this is the first time that I have ever heard of color therapy. I've always been enchanted by colors and the roles the play in various mediums in our lives.

I love to read about colors and found The Power of Colors a fascinating read. Noah Gold has presented an individualized approach to consciously using the healing power of color in everyday life. I learned a lot about myself when making my color wheel.

The author has provided a complete reference book on colors. This is not just a book of colors. She does an amazing job explaining what colors are and how to use them in your daily life. There are many references to Native Americans and the Native American Wheel of Colors. She discusses different types of healing and diagnostic methods using colors. I love the idea of using color cards for divination. I was blown away by the information in this book. I have already told several people about this book. I know this review cannot do justice to the amount of information contained in the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in working with colors, healing, or Native American/First Nations traditions.
