COLOUR THERAPY HEALING (CHROMOTHERAPY)

COLOUR THERAPY HEALING (CHROMOTHERAPY) 

Colour is all around us everywhere. This wonderful planet doesn't contain all the beautiful colours of the RAINBOW for no reason. 

Nothing on this world is here just by chance, everything is here for a purpose. All we need to do is TO HIGHTEN OUR AWARENESS of energy of colours & how it can transform our lives. 

WHAT IS COLOUR THERAPY
Colour Therapy is an alternative therapy that uses colours & their frequencies to heal physical & emotional problems. 
Colour therapy is also known as CHROMOTHERAPY or COLOUR HEALING. 
The goal of this therapy is to correct PHYSIOLOGICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL IMBALANCES. 
It involves the use of colours & light to stimulate well being. 

**COLOUR THERAPY IS A TOTALLY HOLISTIC & NON INVASIVE THERAPY**

ORIGIN OF CHROMOTHERAPY
The exact origin of CHROMOTHERAPY are lost in time. There are records of colour being used as therapy in several civilizations around the world. 
In ancient Egypt, Greece & India colours were used to heal. 

DR. EDWIN DWIGHT BABBITT (Feb.1, 1828- June 28,1905) was an American Physician, Spiritualist & Early promoter of CHROMOTHERAPY. 

HOW CHROMOTHERAPY WORKS?? 
It uses the visible spectrum of Electromagnetic radiation. In other words- COLOUR. 
Colour is simply light of Varying wavelengths thus each colour has its own particular wavelength & energy i.e the energy of seven spectrum colours of VIOLET, INDIGO, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE & RED ( VIBGYOR).

Colour is absorbed by the eyes, skin, skull& the energy of colour affects us on all levels - Physical, Spiritual & Emotional. 
Every cell in the body needs light energy Thus, Colour energy has wide spread effects on the whole body. 

THE PRINCIPAL OF COLOUR THERAPY
The ancient AURVEDIC PHYSICIAN CHARAK recommended sunlight to treat a variety of diseases. 
AYURVEDA associates different colours of the RAINBOW with the body's SEVEN CHAKRAS. 
Chakras or the spinning wheel of lighlight are the ENERGY CENTRES in the human body. There are many chakras in our body but seven of them located mainly on the SPINAL CORD are considered to be the major ones. 

Good health & well being is achieved by a the balance of all these energies in each CHAKRA. 
Colour therapy can help to rebalance or stimulate these energies of chakras by applying the appropriate colour to the body & therefore rebalance our chakras. 

COLOURS & RELATED CHAKRAS
The seven chakras resonate with the seven RAINBOW COLOURS. Healing therapies believe that the disease is caused by the energy imbalance or some of the chakras being blocked.
