COLOR AND LIGHT THERAPY

 

Color Healing, Light Therapy and Chromotherapy are all terms used interchangeably with Color Therapy, which is a set of principles used to create harmonious color and color combinations for healing.

This form of energy medicine is based on the belief that the human body is composed of energy fields. When the energy is properly distributed and circulating freely, the body is healthy. Imbalances or abnormal amounts of energy are believed to indicate an excess or deficency.

Color or light therapy is used to treat depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and skin disorders.

Color is light energy. Color is light which is split into different wavelengths vibrating at different speeds and different frequencies. Objects that absorb all wavelengths and do not reflect any, is black. Objects that reflect all wavelengths and do not absorb any, is white. Between black and white lies color. Colors are wavelengths of energy that, to us, appear as color because of the potential and capabilities of the object to either absorb or reflect the energy. This basic principle is how we experience color. The energy vibration of that color is what you need, in the moment, in order to improve and balance your physical and emotional state.

Color therapy is a technique of restoring imbalance by means of applying color to the body. It was a popular method of cure even in ancient times. Some 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras applied color light therapeutically and 'color halls' were used for healing in ancient Egypt, China and India.
