Colour Therapy

COLOUR THERAPY – HEALING WITH HUES:.

Do you know the answer of a very simple question, what is colour? Well let us answer this simple question. It is not likely that every colour carries energy of a certain wavelength. If we look around us we will definitely find colours everywhere. Each kindles your mind in a specific way; each has got to do with emotions and mood. Each can work on our psychology and heal our body. This forms the basis of Colour Therapy – a colourful mode of treating the body, mind and soul.

The human body is composed of seven ‘chakras’ or the energy points, each of which conforms to the seven colours in the visible spectrum VIBGYOR – Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. The energy within the shades can be allowed to reverberate in the energy points, and therefore establishing a balance within the body of the living beings. If this is achieved, ailments can be treated and the physical being could be considered healthy. Colour therapy helps in bringing about this very balance by stimulating the chakras with the help of the energy stored within the seven colours.

HOW DOES COLOUR THERAPY HELPS?

In the recent times, colour therapy is of great help to heal many kinds of diseases. The human body can absorb any colour through the skin, eyes, and cranium. Each shade is an energy field, which can affect us anywhere, at any time. The colours can exercise their effect in spite of our physical, mental, and spiritual makeup. This is because the body, mind, and spirit are not separate units but are interlinked and functions together. Each cell in our body has the potential to soak in this light energy and use it for healing.

The entire process of colour therapy is holistic, non-invasive, safe, and without side effects. It improves blood circulation within the body, helps in calming the mind, improves the immune system, lowers nervousness, hastens would heal them, and gives the body the power to endure pain. As the colours have the power to attend to all layers of our existence, colour therapy has emerged as a significant way of freeing the body, mind, and spirit of all ailments.
