Question

Colour Therapy is a complementary therapy for which there is evidence dating back thousands

of years to the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India. If we define it in simple terms, colour

is a light of varying wavelengths. Thus each colour has its own

particular wavelength and energy. Colours contribute energy. This energy may be motivational

and encouraging. Each of the seven colours of the spectrum are associated with energy. The

energy relating to each of the seven spectrum colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo

and violet, resonates with the energy of each of the seven main chakras/energy centres of the

body.

Red relates to the base chakra, orange the sacral chakra, yellow the solar plexus

chakra, green the heart chakra, blue the throat chakra, indigo the brow chakra and

violet relates to the crown chakra.

Colour is absorbed by the eyes, skin, skull our ‘magnetic energy field’ or aura and the

energy of colour affects us on all levels, that is to say, physical, spiritual and

emotional. Every cell in the body needs light energy - thus colour energy has

widespread effects on the whole body. There are many different ways of giving

colour, including Solarised Water, Light boxes/lamps with colour filters, colour silks

and hands on healing using colour.

Colour therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is perhaps easier to

quantify, however there are deeper issues around the colours on the psychological

and spiritual levels. Our wellbeing is not, of course, purely a physical issue.

Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and contemporary are now

treating patients in a holistic manner.
