Colour Therapy Meaning, Uses, Application and Learning

When exploring some of the connections of Colour Therapy and Nature, one of the most obvious is, of course, flowers. They are a very big part of the colours we are all used to seeing around us. Nature is full of healing energy and it is there for us all to share and to enjoy. We just need to look.

When you visit a Colour Therapist you should be greeted in a friendly and professional manner and welcomed into a calm and comfortable environment. The Colour Therapist should be fully qualified in the field and their expertise should include Anatomy and Physiology. Always ask for sight of their qualifications if you are unsure.

One of the most popular ways of applying colour therapy directly to the body, is to use coloured silks. These are used to place directly onto the body of the patient.

Any natural fabric i.e. cotton, can be used where pure silk is not appropriate. For instance, when treating animals with colour.

Here are just a few ways in which you can use and apply colour for yourself.

Clothes

Clothes are important, as by wearing them all day, the colour's will be absorbed by the body

It may seem obvious but clothes are important since, as we are wearing clothes all day, their colour will be absorbed by our body.

Animals respond very well indeed to Colour Therapy and, in my experience, often fall asleep during a treatment session and seem very reluctant to leave when their treatment is over.

Many animals do not see colour as we do, but this does not mean they are not affected by colour energies.

Animals are very sensitive to differing energies so they also pick up the varying energies of colour.

Here are some suggestions of crystals which can be related to each of the main Chakras of the body.

Colour Therapy dates back thousands of years and is a truly holistic non-invasive and powerful therapy, Colour Therapy uses the energy relating to each of the seven spectrum colours. These colours and their energies, resonate with the energy of each of the seven main chakras of the body. Colour Therapy can help to re-balance and/or stimulate the chakras by applying the appropriate colour to the body and therefore re-balance our chakras. Balance of the energy in each of the body’s chakras is very important for health and wellbeing.

A lovely and very helpful exercise is colour and breathing - or breathing in the rainbow.

The purpose of this is to firstly, heighten our awareness of colour and secondly, to encourage a balance of all the seven main chakra colours for our well being.
