Step 1.
Place the color chart on a table in front of you (click print in the window that opens, after you click). Sit down, and relax. Rest the pad of your middle finger on the nail of your index finger (use your right hand if you are right-handed, your left if you are left-handed).
Step 2.
Gently press your middle finger pad against the nail of your index finger. Observe the way this feels. Now, when you test yourself on each color, you'll notice that your response is either strong pressure, or weak pressure. Strong means "yes, this color is appropriate for me," while weak means "no, I don't need this color."
Step 3.
Place the tip of your other index finger on the first color on the chart, white. Notice your response. Is it weak? Strong? Remember, a strong response indicates that yes, you do need this color. A weak response lets you know this color is not for you. Give your body time, but generally, the difference in pressure is most noticeable immediately. Repeat this procedure for each color, noting which is "yes," and which is "no." (You may discover more than one "yes," but that's ok. Retest the colors to which you experienced a strong response. Notice the different intensities of your responses; some colors will cause a stronger "yes" while others may be a weaker "yes.")
Helpful Hint - Suppose you tested "yes" for both red and deep blue. Now, read the information on the chart for each color. You will notice that red is very energizing, while blue has a more calming effect. If you are already a high-energy person, or if you experience anxiety, you may select the deep blue, the Sapphire and it's calming qualities.
Or, you can ask your body!
Use the same finger technique. Ask your body, "Is deep blue more beneficial than red for me at this time?" and notice your response. Again, strong means "yes" and weak indicates "no."
