Colour Therapy Meaning, Uses, Application and Learning

What is Colour Therapy?

Colour therapy is a holistic therapy that uses the seven main colours of the spectrum and light to balance the chakras of the body. The use of Colour Therapy dates back thousands of years and is a truly holistic therapy using the colour energy from light. Each colour of the spectrum resonates with one of the main seven chakras in the body. Each colour of the spectrum is simply light of varying wavelengths, thus each colour has its own particular energy used in colour therapy.  Colour can have a profound and healing effect on us as humans of any age as well as the animals.

Ways in which Colour Therapy is applied

Colour therapy can be applied to the body in a number of different ways. As with any therapy, each colour therapist may have his or her own 'style', however, a number of common ways in which colour therapy is applied are:

Colour Therapy

Colour and Breathing

A lovely and very helpful exercise is colour and breathing - or breathing in the rainbow.

The purpose of this is to firstly, heighten our awareness of colour and secondly, to encourage a balance of all the seven main chakra colours for our well being.

Colour Therapy Self Help

Here are just a few ways in which you can use and apply colour for yourself.

Clothes

Clothes

Clothes are important, as by wearing them all day, the colour's will be absorbed by the body

It may seem obvious but clothes are important since, as we are wearing clothes all day, their colour will be absorbed by our body.

Colour Therapy for Animals

Animals respond very well indeed to Colour Therapy and, in my experience, often fall asleep during a treatment session and seem very reluctant to leave when their treatment is over.

Many animals do not see colour as we do, but this does not mean they are not affected by colour energies.

Animals are very sensitive to differing energies so they also pick up the varying energies of colour.

Solarized Water

A simple way of applying colour to the body is to use solarized water.

When exposed to sunlight, water in a coloured container absorbs the vibrational energy of that particular colour. This can then be drunk by sipping the water or used for bathing a particular part of the body.

How Colour Therapy is used

Colour therapy uses the energy relating to each of the seven spectrum colours being:- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These spectrum colours are simply light of varying wavelengths, thus each colour has its own particular energy. These energies resonate with the energy of each of the seven main chakras/energy centres of the body. By using these seven colours of the light spectrum, Colour Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body's energy centres/chakras, which can help to stimulate our body's own healing process.

Colour Therapy and Nature

Colour Therapy and Nature

When exploring some of the connections of Colour Therapy and Nature, one of the most obvious is, of course, flowers. They are a very big part of the colours we are all used to seeing around us. Nature is full of healing energy and it is there for us all to share and to enjoy. We just need to look.
