Colour Healing
Colour Healing is a totally holistic and non-invasive therapy for us all - adults, children, babies and animals. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of colour and it can transform our lives.
Colour should be a part of our everyday life, not just something we experience for an hour or two with a therapist. Colour is all around us everywhere. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful colours of the rainbow without reason. Nature and its colours are not simply here by chance, everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour is no exception.
The use of Colour as a Therapy is a truly holistic, non-invasive and powerful therapy, which dates back thousands of years; evidence of this can be found in ancient texts from
Colour is simply light of varying wavelengths and, as such, is a form of energy that is used in Colour Therapy.
This light energy affects all living cells, as we all know, without light, all living things are affected. Used in the right way, these different frequencies of light, i.e. colour, can have a profound and healing effect on all creation, human or otherwise. It is a well-known scientific fact that everything has a vibration that is to say that all things have their own vibration/frequency, and that includes humans.
Colour Therapy can be used for any problem whether, physical, mental, emotional or spiritual for specific problems as well as an over all relaxation therapy. Colour Therapy can be used safely and effectively - either alone or alongside any other therapy, whether complementary or orthodox medicine - for adults, children, babies and animals alike. However, no complementary therapy should ever be considered as an alternative to orthodox medical advice.
- Colour energy can be the catalyst for our healing process and encourages normal and healthy workings of the body.
- Colour Therapy should not be something you just go to a therapist to 'have done to you'.
- Colour is everywhere and should be utilized as part of our everyday life. A professional Colour Therapist can explain and advise you on how you can use colour at home for health and wellbeing.
- Colour is simply light of different wavelengths, and each colour has its own specific wavelength and vibration. These wavelengths resonate with energies in different areas of the body.
As we absorb colour energy not only through the eyes but also through the skin and the electro magnetic field or aura, Colour Therapy can be used on the body in a number of different ways.
As with any therapy, each therapist may have his or her own method, however, a number of common methods used are:
- The placing of colour silks on the body
- The directing of coloured light on to the body.
- Solarised water
- Meditation with colour
- Colour breathing
- Candles
Your colour preferences can tell a professional Colour Therapist a good deal about you.
Colour choices can indicate where there may be an imbalance of colour, which can highlight a potential problem; whether emotional, physical, mental or spiritual and gives indications of personality issues, which may need to be addressed.
The emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects make up the whole person and really one cannot be isolated from the other.
A Professionally qualified Colour Therapy practitioner will help you to understand your Colour preferences, and indeed your need for a certain colour or colours.
