What is Colour Therapy?

Colour Therapy is the process of treating bodily disharmonies with colour, based on the premise that specific colours have healing and restorative properties related to certain areas of the physical or emotional body.  When the energy of a particular organ is disturbed by disease or distress, treating it with its related colour can restore it back to health and balance.

How does it work?

Our body’s depends on natural light to survive, and colours are derived from the electromagnetic spectrum contained in pure white sunlight. Colours are simply different frequencies of light vibrating at different speeds, each colour vibration has a strong effect on us since it is capable of altering our biochemical structure.

The method of colour therapy works on the basis that each area of the body resonates a similar frequency to a colour. The body’s organs have their own resonant frequencies, which can become imbalanced, resulting in illness. By exposing our bodies to the matching colour wavelengths, we bring about speedy and effective rebalancing which restores harmony on all levels. In effect, colour allows us to ‘tune’ our bodies in for optimal wellness.
