For Beginners

This is a "good" book for beginners only. If you have been studying this particular subject for a while or are somewhat knowledgeable in the subject, this is not the book for you.

The ideal book.

I wanted a book that would explain the benefits of colour and how and where to use it.This is the book I wanted.The book starts off with how we use colour everyday.It then explains interesting information on each of the colours:red,orange,yellow,green.blue,indigo,violet,pink,white,brown,black,silver and gold. There are sections on candle burning,kombolois,how to determine your colours,life path numbers and much more.This book has a lot to offer.Could have used a few colour photos as examples but as it,its the best book I found.

Great book

This is probably one of the best books for beginners. Mr Webster makes this book well worth the price. As I started reading the book I found myself stopping to do some of the work in the book because I was so excited about the material. Once I finished the book I was amazed at just how much useful information could fit into this book, between finding your personal numbers and the colors associated with them to mandalas and to just noticing the colors around me more. I strongly recommend this book to anyone!

Love it!

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's straight-forward, easy to read, and gives practical applications. Initially, I thought it was just a book about color, but it's so much more than that. It has both a practical side, and a metaphysical side to it. But what is so good about it is that it presents things in such a way as to 'make the penny drop.' For instance, I've read over and over about chakras, but the whole concept has just never clicked with me. But something about the way he presents it did it for me. I'm really interested in it now because I get it. He ties it in with the meaning of color in such a real world way that it doesn't just float out into the air like some sort of esoteric babble. He presents a variety of things, both practical and metaphysical. He not only gives interesting background on color and what different colors mean in different applications, but he ties it all into things like numerology, healing, mandalas, emotional support, symbolism, magic rituals, crystals and gemstones, feng shui & how to decorate your home, and color symbolism. I just happened on to this book by accident, when I was leaving for a trip and wanted something to read on the plane. I didn't end up reading it until 3 weeks after I got home, but I then read it in 3 days. Now, to put this into perspective, I am not a reader. It takes me *months* to read a book -- the ones that I like. The ones I don't like I don't even finish. If you haven't guessed by now, I highly, highly recommend this book. It's one of the few books that I am going to refer to time and time again, and one of the few books that I can't wait to start applying some of the things it suggests. (I already ordered three scarves last night -- one red so that people will know I am capable of being assertive when I need to be -- one with orange so I will be more self-confident -- and one with blue so that I will be able to manage my reactions to things better.) Tomorrow, we look for a red blouse. ;-) Caat
