Colour Therapy is a totally holistic, natural and non-invasive therapy using the energy of the seven colours of the spectrum. Colour Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body's energy centres / Chakras and also to help stimulate our body's own healing process.
Colour Therapy uses colour to re-balance the Chakras (our energy centres) that have become depleted of energy. This therapy is helpful for adults, children and animals alike and can be used safely alongside any other therapy whether complementary or orthodox medicine.
Each of the seven colours of the spectrum, resonates with one of the main seven chakras of the body. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others.
Chakra (pronounced sha-kra) is the Sanskrit word for ' wheel '.
Colour has a profound effect on us on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. If our energy centres become blocked or depleted, then our body cannot function properly and this, in turn, can lead to a variety of problems on any level.
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 well being is not, of course, purely a physical issue.
Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and complementary are now treating patients in an holistic manner. That is to say, we are body, mind and spirit and none of these areas function entirely alone; each has an effect upon the other. This is why Colour Therapy can be so helpful since colour addresses all levels of our being.
As babies we first experience colour in the womb where we are enveloped in a nurturing and comforting pink. Then as a child we associate with colour as part of our first learning processes. These first associations contribute to our consciousness.
As we get older we attach many different feelings, memories and meanings to certain colours and this can then become a feature in our subconscious. We can build up prejudices to colours which have happy, sad, or frightening connotations for us. All life experiences have an affect upon us. Some experiences will be positive and some negative. It is these negative experiences which can manifest themselves physically over time as dis-ease. As an example:- perhaps we have, over the years, been in a situation where we have felt unable, for one reason or another, to speak our mind, or to express our needs and feelings. This can manifest as a problem in the throat chakra. The throat chakra relates in the spiritual aspect to self expression. Thus, if our self expression has been blocked, the energy in this area will not be free flowing.Working with the appropriate colour/colours can help to dispel negative feelings, free blocks and re-balance the body.

Colour is absorbed by the eyes, skin and skull and the aura/magnetic energy field (which surrounds all things). Every cell in the body needs light energy - thus colour energy has widespread affects on the whole body.
