Using the seven colours of the spectrum,
Colour Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body's energy
centres / Chakras and also to help stimulate our body's
own healing process. Colour Therapy uses colour to re-balance
the Chakras ( our energy centres ) that have become depleted
of energy.
Colour has a profound effect on us on all levels, physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. If our energy centres become
blocked or depleted, then our body cannot function properly
and this, in turn, can lead to a variety of problems on
any level.
Colour is the Rainbow Bridge between the sun and life on
earth ; it is the light line, between the subtle and the
material. Each colour represents a universal spiritual principle
that is expressed through structure, function and quality
within all life from mineral to Mankind.
Human life is seen as a subtle and dynamic balance
between spirit and matter.
This therapy is founded upon the research of Ronald Beesley
( 1903 1978 )
When you use these therapies you will never be the same
person you were before. These therapies uplift the energy-system
on the subtle and physical layers. The organs, nervous-system
and glands get a new energy balancing. A new blanket covers
your overall aura, which means the connection with your
soul is more stable.
What is Light
Therapy ?
Light Therapy, either as natural light or artificial light,
corrects the negative effects of light as found in our homes
and offices, as well as the effect of insufficient light
which we experience seasonally. It falls into 5 basic classifications.
The first four depend upon the light beams entering the
eye where they are converted into electrical impulses, traveling
to our brain where they eventually affect our body functions
and thus our overall health.
Bright Light
Therapy
The most researched and best known of the therapies, bright
light therapy reverses the deficiency problem known as Seasonal
Affective Disorder. SAD can be corrected by exposure to
bright light- especially in the morning.
Colored
Light Therapy
The use of colored lighting can have a market effect on
us. Blue to Violet colored light will have an almost depressing
calming effect, while other colors, such as yellows will
be stimulating. Studies of students have shown that extended
exposure will affect class attendance and productivity.
Flickering
Bright
Light Therapy
By using flickering bright light, research has shown that
the effectiveness in many instances is enhanced. Both bright
and colored flickering lights have been documented as having
good results in certain cases for PMS ( premenstrual syndrome
) as well as attention deficit disorder. Still other studies
have indicated a benefit in pain management.
Flickering
Colored Light
Therapy
The subtle effect of colored lighting, combined with the
penetrating effect of the flickering have produced some
dramatic results in the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy.
The last classification involves light therapy that is
applied directly to the body. Examples of this would be
the use of blue light in the treatment of Jaundice, especially
in babies--- and the apparent effects of this therapy on
Face and Body skin problem when applied on it. There are
additional impressive studies where blood has been treated
with certain types of laser light. The treatments appear
to be effective in a wide variety of illnesses.
Chakras of the body
What are Chakras
?
There are seven main energy centres ( chakras ) of the
body which resonate with the seven rainbow colours. Anyone
one who is familiar with Accupunture will realize that there
are, however, a large number of minor chakras throughout
the body totaling something in excess of 300.
Chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to
the others. Chakras ( pronounced sha-kra ) is the Sanskrit
word of Wheel' . If you can imagine the main Chakras /
energy centres as a set of cogs/wheels, they are rather
like the workings of a clock or an engine; each cog/wheel
needs to move smoothly and at a similar speed for the clock/engine
to work properly. Thus good health and well being is achieved
by a balance of all these energies (or the smooth running
of the cogs/wheels)
Colour Therapy
for all
Colour Therapy is a totally holistic and non-invasive therapy
and, really, colour should be 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 for no reason. Nothing on this earth is here just
by chance, everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour
is no exception. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness
of the energy of colour and how it can transform our lives.
A professional therapist will help you to do this. The capacity
for health and well being is within us all.
Colour Therapy
Treatment
Colour in Colour Therapy Treatment can be used in many
ways, but a qualified Color Therapist will know what colours
to use by way of a consultation. There are various ways
of using colour therapy treatment to apply colour to the
body. Colour Therapy can be helpful for any problem whether,
physical, mental, emotional or spiritual and as a relaxation
therapy. And, indeed, Colour can be the catalyst
for our healing process. However , if a problem
presents, it should always be remembered that no
complementary therapy should be considered as an alternative
to professional medical advice .
Colour therapy can be used safely alongside any other therapy
or orthodox medical treatment.
Colour
In itself Colour can have a profound
effect on us on all levels, physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual.
We are in a world where colour dominates our lives, from
reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to
eat. It affects our moods blue is calming red can make
us tense. We use and experience colour everyday in our lives
without even appreciating it.
Wave lengths and frequencies
Colour is simply light of different wavelengths
and frequencies and light is
just one form of energy made up from photons. We are all
surrounded by electromagnetic waves of energy of which colour
is just a small part. The visible spectrum as we see it
consists of the rainbow. Our retinas though have three types
of colour receptors in the forms of cones. We can only detect
three of these colours red blue and green. These colours
are called additive primaries. It is these three colours
that are mixed to create all of the other colours we see.
The wavelength and frequency of light we see, influences
the colour we see. The seven colours of the spectrum all
have varying wavelengths and frequencies. Red is at the
lower end of the spectrum and has a higher wavelength but
lower frequency to that of Violet at the top end of the
spectrum which has a lower wavelength and higher frequency.
Wavelength
As mentioned, each colour has it's own particular wavelength
and frequency. Each colour is measured in units of cycles
or waves per second. If we can imagine light traveling in
waves like that in an ocean, it is these waves that have
the properties of wavelength and frequency. A wavelength
is the distance between the same locations on adjacent waves.
As an example; an ocean full of waves, that were 10 metres
apart, could be said as , having a wavelength of 10, whereas
an ocean of waves that were 30 metres apart would be said
as having a wavelength of 30.
The same applies to light. The colour RED has a wavelength
of around 700 nanometers long one wave spans only 7 ten
millionths of a metre! Whereas, Violet has a much lower
wavelength, so each violet wave would span a much larger
distance.
Waves of Energy
Within the Universe, positive and negative charges ( waves
of energy ) are constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic
waves traveling at an incredibly high speed. ( 186,000 miles
per second )
Frequency
The frequency of a wave is determined by the number of
complete waves, or wavelengths, that pass a given point
each second. The colour RED has a frequency of around 430
trillion vibrations a second, whereas Violet has a much
higher frequency, so each violet wave would pass a given
point much quicker than the colour RED. All light travels
at the same speed but each colour has a different wavelength
and frequency.
Frequency of Waves
Back to our wavelength example above, an ocean with waves
that are 10 metres apart that crash on the shore every 5
seconds could be classed as having a frequency of 5, whereas
an ocean of waves 10 metres apart that crashed on the shore
every 10 seconds, would be classed as having a frequency
of 10. the more frequent the waves, the higher the frequency.
It is these different wavelengths and frequencies that cause
the different colours of light to separate & become
visible when passing through a prism. This can be looked
upon in the same way that radio waves have different frequencies
and wavelengths, certain stations can only be listened to
at a particular frequency or wavelength. So the colour blue
say, only be visible at a particular frequency and wavelength
range.
