Do you ever think about color and how it affects your life?
Do you ever feel blue? See red? Have you ever felt green with jealousy? These are real changes that happen to our bodies electro-magnetic field or aura. Color can alter your emotions.
What is color?
An easy definition is just the quality of light.
If the day is sunny or cloudy there are many variations in this quality of light. Light waves or vibrations are always changing. They dance around and through everything. Most of the time, we don't even notice what light rays do.
For many people there is the belief that color is life and color, as light, is the visual expression of the divine.
Ancient civilizations knew the power and influence of color. They studied color and used it in their healing and religious practices. Think of the colors used in temples and palaces.
High priests and priestesses from China, India and Egypt developed the science of color based upon the nature of man and the sun's bright spectrum of light. So these fundamental laws of cosmic energy we know as color have always been around.
Healers used principles of cosmic energy and color to heal many ailments.
We understand that disease means a lack of harmony within the body. Chromotherapy and its use, is a means of bringing balance back to the body through the use of colored light.
In the 1930's, a scientist named Ghadiali, developed theories of the therapeutic effects of colored light and how it plays a roll upon our bodies.
He wrote that color represents different chemical reactions in high vibrations of light. Each color can stimulate or inhibit how one's system works. If you understand how different colors work on ones organs you can apply the right color light to balance that system or organ and then condition it.
If you live in a healthy state, you are conditioned or balanced with light energy.
When the balance is wrong you are in a state if dis-ease. Restoring the balance is what color therapy is all about.
All living things get energy from the sun and its light vibrations. All known elements are found in the energy of the sun.
These elements and chemicals are contained in white light. The sun emits white light energies into the atmosphere and life is then sustained or charged.
We have all heard about auras that surround and penetrate our bodies. They absorb white light and divide it into different color energies. With humans there are two activities working all the time. They are called catabolism and anabolism.
Anabolism builds and repairs. Catabolism eliminates waste products from the body. Good health is a balance between these two processes and is called metabolism.
The scientist Ghadiali found that the color red is a construction color. It stimulates the liver and red blood cells. Violet works on the spleen and is the color of catabolism or destruction.
So red stimulates the liver and is at one end of the color spectrum. Violet is at the other end of the visible spectrum. He found that green is the balancing or central color. This is great for the pituitary gland, which controls all the other glands, which affect the entire body.
Red, green and violet are the primary color waves used in Chromotherpy.
Why use color therapy at all when we have so many drugs and medicines? Well are the drugs natural? Is putting unnatural things into your body a good thing? Do drugs really balance out the body? With things unbalanced are there then drug-induced illnesses?
People react differently to the same drugs. Many people are allergic to different ones. At least with Chromotherapy there are no harmful effects. Drugs treat symptoms while color therapy treats the imbalance itself.
It is thought that applying color treatments instead of drugs can be a constructive activity without any destructive effect.
Today the medical profession uses light from the spectrum just below and above visible light energies. Doctors use ultra-violet and infrared rays. Used for too long an episode either one can cause damage to body tissue. The worst that can happen with light from the visible spectrum might be a slight accentuation of the problem in the first place.
So since there can really be no problems using Chromotherapy, don't be afraid of it. Do a little fun research. Add a little green light into your life.
