The Eye is a street-level, practical crime fighting Real-Life Superhero (RLSH), who uses his private investigator know-how, 25+ years of electronics expertise and an extensive martial arts background to keep the streets of his city safe. He also knows a thing or two about the secret power of color (which I’d like to share, and The Eyeä was kind enough for me to republish). Here is the article. The original source is here.
“Now, we’ve all heard of the stories of mothers lifting cars off of their endangered children, and the like. What science has learned thus far in these cases are that in times of extreme stress, that some individuals can rapidly increase their adrenalin levels for a short time, enabling them to perform super-human feats of strength. But are there other ways to invoke this kind of strength?
Studies in “color therapy” have some interesting things to offer, and this article will conclude with my own personal method for invoking at least a fraction of this strength potential (your mileage may vary), hopefully yielding a few ideas that you may be able to modify and incorporate into your own life as a RLSH.
First, some examples. During the Cold War, Soviet factory workers were often bathed in a rich, red colored light, as it was said to increase productivity (and unfortunately burnout). Other studies have shown that prison detention cell walls are often painted pink, as this hue has been shown to have a mellowing effect on the mind, particularly for violent criminals being detained. Other hues and their effects include green, which is said to have a more calming effect, as one might expect from a grove of trees, for example, to evoke equally well. But the one color that I have had the most interest in is the color of pure, spectral, cobalt blue.
There is a good reason that I chose a blue lapis lazuli stone when creating my lamp-ring “The Dragon’s Eye”, as it has this very hue in rich supply. Whether as an opaque stone, such as that in my ring, or as a faceted jewel, with a deep refracted cobalt blue color, the effect is the same…to aid in conjuring forth a “calm strength”. Perhaps, this may be a method for invoking adrenal strength *without* a sudden stress surge.
Coupled with some creative visualization, I have found, this color can be a powerful ally. Years ago, when I was but half the age I am now, and working out with a universal gym (with weight stacks and pegs and pulleys, etc.), I had with me a pendant I’d fashioned, with a faceted jewel of cobalt blue. Normally, I would typically bench press about 200-250 lbs., without too much warm-up at all. But trying to do the entire stack of 310 lbs. was something I’d always had to work up to with reps at a lower weight.
What I started doing was experimenting with using the pendant as a focus, and I would spend a few moments alone gazing into the depths of the blue stone, and when I felt ready, I would lay back, closing my eyes so the blue was the very last thing I saw, and imagine a great sea wave rising and cresting as I pressed the entire stack upwards, with *no* previous rep warm-up. Since, biologically, we sort of “carry the sea around with us” in our bodily water and ph levels, this was not hard to visualize as “the sea within” rising up along with the strength of the imagined “wave”.
To my pleased shock and surprise, the stack almost *flew* up, and I was able to rep it many times before the surge of strength wore off. A far more experienced weight trainer than I, a football player who used to work out at times in the same gym, said to me once:
“I have to rep 250 or something several times before I can do the whole stack…I don’t know how you’re doing that.”
In conclusion, if you have an affinity for the deep, rich color of cobalt blue, you may want to experiment with using a focus device, such as the stone on my ring now serves as for me.
As I say, it works for me, and is a method that has served me very well over the years. Perhaps, it can do the same for you.”
