Beat those Blues with Colour Therapy

Colour is a varying in the wavelengths of light and is a form of energy that is used in Colour Therapy.

Light affects all of our living cells and used in the correct way, it can be used to heal.

Colour Therapy can be used for various problems whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual and as an all round relaxation therapy.

Colour is therapeutic and can be used alongside conventional medicine in a therapeutic way.

Colour energy can be a catalyst for our healing process and encourages our bodies to work in a normal and harmonious way.

Colour is all around us and does not to be "diagnosed" by a practitioner; it just needs to be incorporated into our normal day to day lives in a positive way.

Everyone has a favourite colour, and this can spring from childhood where colour was a comfort to us.

Memories are a strongly determine if we like certain colours. Negative emotions can make us like a colour where as positive emotions have the opposite effect.

Another explanation is an adverse reaction to a colour can mean that there is an imbalance in a particular part of the body.

Being aware of these preferences can tell us about ourselves and can also help us address a deep emotional issue that we may be harbouring.

Colour can be incredibly enlightening and transforming. Colour Therapists are trained to work with you and colour to bring a more positive outlook on your life.

Colour is simply light of different wavelengths, and each colour has its own specific wavelength and vibration.

These wavelengths resonate with energies in different areas of the body. We absorb colour energy visually but also through the skin and the electro magnetic field of our aura. Colour Therapy can be used in a number of different ways.

Different colour therapists will use different techniques but the most common are; the placing of coloured silks on the body; the directing of coloured light on to the body; solarised water; meditation with colour and colour breathing. A light box is the most common form of directing colour to the body using coloured filters.

The right colour for you is dependent on which colours you feel emotionally drawn to. Certain colours can be triggers to emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects of a person and a Colour Therapist can help you work on a particular aspect to heal you.

Colour Therapy is totally holistic and non-invasive therapy for all that is needed to do. Colour should be part of our every day life not something that is experienced for an hour or two with a therapist.
