SOFT PINK
In colour therapy, soft pink is associated with unconditional love. Unconditional love, surpassing judgement and criticism, is the strongest love there is! In today’s world men too are now experiencing a freedom to show more of their emotional and vulnerable nature. The idea that men shouldn’t cry or not talk about their feelings is from the past.
It is interesting though that people who just don’t like this colour will often have painful childhood memories where they didn’t feel safe or had no space to actually be a child. Some kids had to grow up fast and look after their parents or siblings or there was no care and tenderness. It can also signify that it’s time to stop being the parent for everyone in your circle and take time to focus on meeting your own needs.
