Colour is light, which travels to us in waves from the sun, on the same electro-magnetic spectrum as radio and television waves, microwaves, x-rays etc. Light is the only part of the spectrum that we can see, which perhaps explains why we take it less seriously than the invisible power of the other rays. Sir Isaac Newton demonstrated that light travels in waves, when he shone white light through a triangular prism and, when the different wavelengths of light refracted at different angles, he was able to demonstrate that the colours of the rainbow (the spectrum) are the component parts of light.
When light strikes any coloured object, the object will absorb only the wavelengths that exactly match its own atomic structure and reflect the rest - which is what we see. Turn this around and it is easy to understand how the colour of anything is a clear indication of its atomic structure or, in simple terms, what it is made of. When light strikes the human eye, the wavelengths do so in different ways, influencing our perceptions. In the retina, they are converted into electrical impulses that pass to the hypothalamus, the part of the brain governing our hormones and our endocrine system.
The hypothalamus (with the pituitary) governs:
- Water regulation
- Sleeping and behavioural patterns
- The balance of the autonomic nervous system
- Sexual and reproductive functions
- Metabolism
- Appetite
- Body temperature
- The hypothalamus houses the body's biological clock
Colour has a profound effect on most people. Just think of some of the most common sayings that are actually associated with colour - for example, feeling blue, green with envy. Colour actually affects the body on all levels and it can be used to re-balance the body and promote a healthier state of being.
What is Colour Therapy?
Colour therapy is a natural therapy that uses colour in order to re-balance energy. Colour is all around us, and the colours that we see can have a profound effect on us, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Colour is absorbed through the eyes, skin, and the magnetic energy field. It can be delivered by things such as solarised water, light boxes with colour filters, colour silks.
Using Colour Therapy
Colour therapists understand that people have a need for certain colours in their lives. They will assess the person and recommend colours as well as show the person how to use them in order to bring about healing, health, relaxation, and protection. Colour therapy can treat conditions such as:
Asthma, Arthritis, Circulation problems, Fever, Shock, Depression, Eating disorders
Skin problems, Digestive problems, Nervous and mental disorders
It can also be used for pain relief.
Even though you might have the same disorder as another person, colour therapy realises that each person is unique and thus the actual treatment will vary. We will recommend to you how to use colour therapeutically in your everyday life - such as your home and work environment, clothing and so on.
Because colour is just light of varying wavelengths, each colour has its own wavelength and energy. Colour energy has a huge effect on the body as each cell needs light energy.
Who Can Use Colour Therapy?
Colour therapy is very safe and it can be used on its own or with other natural therapies or orthodox medicine. It can be used by just about anyone - adults, children and even animals.
