Colourised Healing

The sun’s power to heal has been recognised by man for thousands of years. To maintain good health our bodies must be able to adequately absorb and use the right amount of sunlight. In colour therapy, the treatment of diseases is done by applying the correct colours for healing in a more concentrated form than sunlight.

Theory

Colour therapy draws on the eastern philosophy that the human body is made up of energy vibrating like the wavelengths of colour, which creates an energy field around and within the body. When stress and illness destabilises these energies, the theory goes that meditating on or literally immersing yourself in colour can restore equilibrium. Thus, colour therapy is the use of colour in assisting the body in its natural ability to balance itself. Each colour vibrates on its own wavelength and frequency. When colour energy is absorbed, it travels via the nervous system to the part of the body that needs it.

Self Help Therapy

The required colours can be administered in a variety of ways. To make use of colour therapy one can simply imagine or visualise the colour surrounding you in a bubble, eat a food of the correct colour, wear that colour of clothing or keep the colour around you with flowers or paper. One can channel colour through hands to the appropriate area of your body or focus on a crystal of the colour. One could also seek out the trained people who can carry out the required treatment.

Colour Therapist

Colour is a form of vibrational energy. Human body has an etheric or subtle energy counterpart to their physical, tangible body. It is this etheric body which is greatly affected by vibrational energies and is used by the colour therapists as the vehicle for promoting healing. The colour therapist undertakes a diagnosis of the client and administers the colour or colours required to restore the energy balance of the etheric body. One of the earliest techniques is spectra-chrome colour therapy as developed by Dr. Dinshaw. Spectra-chrome matches a particular healing colour for the appropriate disease. The selected colour is shone directly on the body with a special lamp for 30-60 minutes. Dr. Mandel of Germany developed Acu-light colour therapy, wherein Acu-light pens bring colour into the body via the Acupuncture points. Patients benefit from the healing effects of both therapies.

Diseases Treated with Colour Therapy

Anemia, arthritis, burns, diarrhea, colds, constipation, AIDS, diabetes, eczema, paralysis, menstrual problems, infertility, PMS, high/low blood pressure, and many more. Colour therapy treatment is often determined by which area of the body is affected. The human body has 7 main chakras (energy centres) that vibrate to a particular colour. Each chakra governs a particular organ and bodily process. For example, the Root chakra is located in the groin, pelvis area.

Its colour is red and the primary organs are the kidney/adrenals and sex organs. Therefore Red would be the colour used to treat someone suffering from low back pain, infertility or chronic kidney disease. Digestive problems respond well to yellow. Green, blue and turquoise are cool colours and are used to treat illnesses that cause excess pain. Similarly red, orange and yellow are warm colours and are used to treat illnesses that cause a weakened condition like anemia.

The Experience of Colour

I am feeling blue…

He is green with envy…

He is red with rage...

There is no colour in my life...

We are familiar with these and more expressions involving colour, emotions and feelings but not familiar with just how powerfully colour affects our lives, our moods and well being. Each colour that makes up the light spectrum actually vibrates at a different level. The faster the vibration, the warmer the colour and the slower the vibration, the cooler the colour. For example, red can make us active (if used in excess even rebellious) and blue can make us calm and reflective. Red and orange both stimulate the appetite. Now you know why most fast food companies use these as their main colours.
