COLOURS affect moods and emotions. Colour therapy uses this
sensitivity to colour to identify and correct any imbalances in the body’s
internal energy patterns that might lead to emotional or physical ill health.
Therapists believe that each organ and body system has its own characteristic
vibrational energy, and disorders can be healed by applying the colour of the
corresponding vibrational energy, either to the whole body or to the organ
concerned.

For example, the red spectrum affects our physical energies. It
is stimulating and warming. Blues are cooling and cleansing, affecting our
spiritual energies. The yellow shades serve to bridge them, affecting our mental
energies. The three colours together provide opportunities for healing our body,
mind and spirit.
Colour therapy can be traced to the ancient art of
using colour and light to treat disease. Practitioners believe that by altering
the colours that surround us, it is possible to enhance health and
well-being.
The earliest forms of therapy included the use of
coloured gems and sunlight. There is now a wide range of treatment options
available and many practitioners combine the use of colour with other
complementary therapies such as aromatherapy, massage, reflexology, crystals and
yoga.
