COLOURS OF ENERGY

The magic of COPPER

BY KATHRYN DZSUDZSAK, THE BLUE HAIR MEDIUM

The beauty of this magazine and how Amy Barroso has designed it is in a manner where I get to help you understand yourself. In turn, you will be able to help recognize when you, or someone you know, is “out of whack,” so to speak.

Most people are familiar with the 7 chakras/energy centres of the human body. We have 7 major, 21 minor and, over 100 prominent chakras in our body, but all colours affect our bodies.

In the inaugural magazine, Black Edition (Oct 2020), I explained the chakras/ energy centres, what they are, what they do and how to tell if they are out of balance. The fun now begins. This edition is about the warmth, silkiness and importance of copper! Yes, warmth and silkiness. Sound strange? Shouldn’t be unless your root chakra is out of balance?

About two-thirds of the copper on Earth is found in volcanic rocks. So it’s no wonder there is so much energy around volcanoes, active and dormant.

A Bit of History about Copper.

Copper is an element and mineral and crystallizes in many forms. Copper was first reported by Pliny (Roman savant and author) in 77 AD. (britannica. com) Cyprus is where the first deposits of copper were ever found. True tin bronzes appear to have been made on Cyprus as early as the beginning of the second millennium BC. In the nineteenth century BC. Many trades and professions use copper daily and is a metal needed to keep society running. (metmuseum.org)

Q & A

Where is Copper Located in the Chakra/Energy Centres?

Copper is a colour that is associated with all chakra’s/energy centres. Many associate it with the root and sacral chakras because it helps with intuition, desire and vitality. While most people see copper as a brownish colour, it is in fact, a reddishmetallic colouring. So, this is why many consider the colour copper to be associated more so with the root chakra.

What Does Copper Do to our Energy Centres?

Copper conducts spiritual energy within us and between other people. It helps the body to repair and heal by stimulating our soul and any free flowing emotions.

Copper helps to lessen mental burdens. It has been used for thousands of years medicinally. Since copper helps with blood circulation by increasing your physical vibrations, it also encourages the opening of blocked energy. It does this by sending healing energy all over the body to help promote your overall health. Copper absorbs the negative energy from the body and projects it away from you. Copper also grounds you. This is particularly helpful when you feel like things are becoming out of control.

Copper helps to shift vibrational frequencies. Working with copper will bring more awareness and clarity of your thoughts, emotions and how you communicate them. Copper is great to use when you want to balance the Chakras and meridians in our body.

If you look at gems, crystals, or rocks that have been wrapped for jewelry, you will see most wrapped in copper. Copper amplifies the vibration of the gem/crystal. I have copper all over my house and carry a small piece with me all the time. Because copper is a conduit it helps to amplify your thoughts. It also is amazing to help boost crystals that you may be using at the time.

Is Copper Good for Our Physical Bodies?

You bet it is! Copper, the mineral, is an essential need for our bodies. Copper supports our tissues and red blood cells. You see many people wearing copper bracelets, necklaces, rings or earrings because it helps with ailments such as arthritis, treatments of skin diseases and wounds.

Copper is an essential element for the human diet. It is critical for blood cell formation and can be found in many foods and most water supplies. Some foods that are high in copper are leafy greens, grains, potatoes, and beans. It is possible to get too much copper in your body so, it is always good to check with a health professional before adding any supplement to your diet. It has been said that too much can give you diarrhea and it could be blue! Before adding any supplement to your diet always consult a physician to ensure it’s right for you.
