Colour Therapy Healing - how does it work? Colour therapy treatments explained
Colour Therapy is a holistic therapy in that therapists believe that man is not just a collection of bones and muscles. But What exactly is it? And can it really make us feel better? I qualified as a colour therapist approximately two years ago, and have been amazed at how this therapy can really help in relieving symptoms of illness. Colour therapy is non-invasive and is based upon using the healing energy contained within the visible colour spectrum. In ways similar to reflexology, and other complementary therapies, it seeks to achieve balance and harmony within the body. There are examples of this therapy having succeeded where other methods of treatment have not. For example, it has been used as a cure for leprosy using only diet and coloured bandages!Famously, Kylie Minogue is said to have started her recovery from breast cancer using the principles of colour therapy. She was seen to be wearing pink, and is said to have had her walls painted pink during her stay in hospital. Pink is the colour of love, and self-love and self-acceptance. It is a very good place from which to start any form of recovery. Through loving ourselves and accepting ourselves, warts and all, we can only then truly know real happiness and contentment. How can this therapy work? In the same way as we need a diet rich in all of the vitamins,minerals and nutrients that our bodies require, we also need the whole range of the colour spectrum to stay in best health. Colour vibrations have a direct effect on the cells and organs of our bodies, and also have a very strong and real impact on our mental and spiritual wellbeing. Everyone agrees that colour really does affect our moods. For me, endless days of grey, cloudy weather makes me feel low, both physcially and mentally. However, other colours such as yellow, pink and red, can have an energising and rejuvenating effect on us. So some colours are uplifting and others are depressing. Without even thinking too much about it, we find ourselves saying things like, 'feeling blue', to describe feeling unhappy, 'seeing red' to describe when we are feeling angry and 'green with envy'.
Coloured light can cause different physical reactions such as: Red light can cause heat and can relieve congestion conditions Blue light can cause the blood pressure to fall.
Of course, colour can affect the mental body as well; blue tending to calm and soothe our minds, whilst others, for example yellow, stimulates the mind and gets the mental faculties to work!
Humans have used light for healing since before the time of ancient Egypt. This book explains the therapeutic benefits of sunlight and reveals the evidence that sunlight is far more beneficial than we realize.

Illness is an imbalance of energy. Colour therapy works to move energy and
unblock and rebalance energy imbalances. Sometimes, a person will be drawn to
a particular colour, and this is an indication that this colour is needed in
the surroundings, or diet to re-balance. Often a colour is rejected by us for
no apparent reason. This needs to be addressed as well, as often it is a colour
that is needed by the body. Again, it means looking at all areas of our lives
to see where problems might lie. Illnesses develop in our emotional bodies long before
they show up in our physical bodies. Sudden changes in likes or dislikes of
a particular colour can be a pointer to where the trouble lies.

Colour is not only absorbed through the eyes, but also through the skin, and
through a system of energy centres known as chakras, which are directly linked
to our nervous system - See
