Colour Therapy
Colour Therapy Treatment
Colour therapy is the use of the vibrational frequency of the colours of the spectrum to correct the imbalance or disharmony in the human trinity – mind, body and soul.
A colour therapy treatment could involve one of more of these materials; colour light and filters, colour fabrics, colour application, solarised water or oil, and/or a customised colour therapy multimedia software. Colour breathing, colour meditation and colour in food is also equally important in the treatment process.
It is absolutely crucial that everyone who is interested in going through a colour therapy treatment seeks professional colour therapists who are trained to conduct a colour therapy treatment and have had substantial hours of treatment experience. This is because colours can have two distinct – and often opposite – effects; and the wrong choice of colours could create an unwanted adverse effect.
Treatment with colour can either trigger the expected colour-typical physiological reaction or, instigate the release of a related colour-coded emotion or problem. Take blue light for example. Blue light will usually have a sedative and relaxing effect. However, if a young man had been molested by his father when he was a young boy, and his father was wearing a blue shirt at the time, blue may cause sympathetic arousal (distress) in this man until the trauma is healed.
Benefits of Colour Therapy
There are multitude of ways in which colour therapy could complement our overall well being. Colour therapy has been used to boost immune system and promote healing from within, help restore health after surgery or illness, and aid creativity and learning. On more specific issues, colour therapy has been used in cases of allergies, depression, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, headaches and migraines, stress anxiety disorders, seasonal affective disorders (SAD), pain relief, insomnia and many more.
Colour Therapy in the 21st Century
Colour therapy has been taken on board by hospitals, prisons, schools, the advertising industry, commerce and the spa and wellness industry to name but a few. A growing body of research on the physiological effects of light supports the increasing demand and interest in colour therapy.
In many advanced and developed countries such as the USA, Germany, Australia, United Kingdom and other European countries, colour therapy is a luxury and a way of life, and not just another therapy.
