For the Love of Red

Since Aidan was able to choose a favorite colour, it has been red. When he was 2 and 3 everything he chose was red. Now, he claims blue and green are also his favorites but he still gravitates to red. (He even loves red food ie. strawberries, raspberries, apples and red peppers!).
These were taken just the other day.

Every organ in chinese medicine is connected with a specific colour. Red is connected to the heart meridian. In Chinese medicine the heart meridian governs the mind or "shen". The heart promotes a healthy night sleep, brings a sense of calmness, ensures a good memory and brings joy to the body. When there is an imbalance in the heart meridian, we clinically see insomnia, restlessness, anxiety and poor memory.
Aidan is a joyful little guy but can be anxious in new settings, it takes him a little while to warm up to new situations. Red, protects his shen, calms anxiety and promotes a sense of calm.
