The Hidden Power of Color: How Black Shaped My Life—and What It Taught Me About Energy, Identity, and Spiritual Awakening

Color has always had an impact on me, though for a long time, I didn’t realize it. Most of us don’t. We assume color is just background—part of fashion, part of aesthetics, part of life—but rarely do we pause to consider how deeply it imprints itself on our psyche, our energy field, and even our soul.

For years, I was wrapped in black. Not just metaphorically, but quite literally.

I grew up in New York City—the epicenter of sophistication, ambition, and sleek, high-powered energy. It was where I went to school, college, and later dove headfirst into the fast-paced world of fashion and entertainment media. I worked for a major magazine conglomerate, managing multiple marketing accounts across various high-profile titles. The job was high-pressure and demanding, and like almost everyone around me, I wore black.

Black pants, black boots, black coats, black handbags, black eyeliner. You couldn’t walk down Fifth Avenue or into a boardroom without being wrapped in the city’s unofficial uniform. It wasn’t just fashion—it was code. It meant you were in control. You were powerful. You were sharp. You belonged.

At least, that’s what I told myself.

But when I finally left that world—the job, the city, the constant chase—I noticed something shocking.

I had never loved black.

I didn’t feel safe in it. I felt unseen.

Black wasn’t empowering me. It was camouflaging me. It helped me hide, blend, survive—but never express. It was the color that conformed me into a version of myself that the world could accept, not the version I came to Earth to embody. And this realization sent me down a path I never expected: rediscovering color as a spiritual language.

What Wearing Black Really Does to Us

There’s no denying that black has a certain allure. It’s classic. It’s slimming. It’s easy to match. It feels sophisticated, serious, and strong. In small doses or with intentionality, black can be grounding, elegant, and authoritative.

But when it dominates your environment—your clothing, your home, your daily expression—it can begin to shape you in subtler, deeper ways.

Psychologically Speaking:

In color psychology, black is associated with authority, protection, secrecy, and power. It creates a boundary. It absorbs energy. It signals control.

But too much black can also lead to:

  • Emotional suppression
  • A lack of self-expression
  • Isolation and detachment
  • Increased anxiety or fear of being vulnerable
  • A subconscious desire to disappear or “not be seen”

When I reflect on those years in New York, this makes perfect sense. I wasn’t dressing in black because I loved it—I was wearing it because it made me invisible. It helped me survive a world that didn’t want too much color, too much softness, too much authenticity.

I wanted to be safe. And black let me disappear in plain sight.


What Black Does to the Chakras and Energy Field

As an energy healer, I’ve come to see color not just as visual stimulus, but as vibrational medicine. Each color correlates with a chakra, and with certain frequencies in the auric field.

Black is unique because it is not associated with any specific chakra—it doesn’t activate, balance, or nourish a chakra the way colors like red or indigo do. Instead, black absorbs energy. It is the color of protection, mystery, the void, the unknown.

In small amounts, this can be powerful. Black can:

  • Ground you in chaotic situations
  • Shield your energy from psychic attack or emotional overwhelm
  • Create a container for introspection and shadow work

But when you are immersed in black constantly, day after day, it can begin to:

  • Dim your auric brightness
  • Mute your chakras, particularly the heart and throat
  • Stagnate energy flow
  • Create an energetic “shell” that prevents others from fully connecting with you

Over time, I realized that the color I thought was keeping me protected was actually keeping me energetically sealed off—not just from other people, but from my own joy, creativity, and expression.

Why So Many of Us Wear Black Without Realizing the Cost

Here’s what I’ve learned working with thousands of beautiful souls: we don’t just choose colors—we are conditioned into them.

I was conditioned by the environment I lived in—New York, the fashion world, the unwritten rules of “serious success.” Wearing black became a form of social proof. It signaled that I belonged, that I was competent, that I understood the game.

We often mimic the colors of our environment to fit in—a principle of commitment and consistency. Once we identify with an image, we keep reinforcing it, even if it no longer feels true. And the more people around us wear black, the more we subconsciously adopt it (liking, social proof). It becomes a collective identity.

But eventually, your higher self will ask you to become more. You don’t have to stay who you were just to keep the world comfortable. You have every right to outgrow what no longer fits.


What Happened When I Reclaimed Color

When I finally left the city, something unexpected happened: I started craving color. Not for fashion or flair, but for how it made me feel. It started subtly—a soft blue top, a deep green crystal by my bed, a splash of coral on my journal cover. Slowly, the colors around me began to shift. Then came the purples, the oranges, the soft pastels and radiant hues—not as accessories, but as frequencies my soul had been missing.

And the more color I allowed into my life, the more my energy shifted.

✔ I felt more alive.
✔ My heart felt open again.
✔ I felt seen—not just by others, but by myself.
✔ I remembered who I was.

Color began to feel like permission to be me.

Now, I use color intentionally. In my home, my clothing, my healing spaces. I no longer default to black. Instead, I ask: What frequency do I need to wear today? What energy do I want to radiate?

That question alone can transform how you show up in the world.


Color Is Not Just Aesthetic—It’s Energetic

Color influences your emotions, your energetic body, your visibility, your mood, your chakras—and even your spiritual growth. And yet, most of us move through life blind to its influence.

So today, I want to invite you to look again.

✔ What color dominates your wardrobe?
✔ How do you feel when you wear it?
✔ What would it feel like to explore new frequencies through color?

You don’t need to throw out your favorite black coat. But I encourage you to experiment. Add color in small ways. A scarf. A journal. A crystal. A painting. See how your body responds.

Because the truth is: color is a spiritual tool—and it’s time we reclaim it, instead of letting it be used against us by those who’ve always known its power over the human psyche.

When we choose color consciously, we stop conforming—and start creating.

Sending you lots of love and high vibrations! 💞
