Color Therapy  

Healing with color and light is a form of energy medicine known as color therapy. This form of therapy also known as chromo therapy has been in use for thousand’s of years. This therapy originated in India, though the westerners feel that it originated from Egypt and has traveled far and wide to other parts of the world as well and has been scientifically approved. Color therapy awakens the energies of the soul and harmonizes the physical, mental and emotional balance of the human body making it feel rejuvenated and capable of facing the daily trials and tensions of life. The goal is to restore the balance in the human body and purify the energies of the mind, body and soul. Some of the tools used in color therapy are gemstones, candles, wands, prisms, colored fabrics, bath treatments, and colored eye wear. Color therapy enables one to feel liberated from repressed emotions and stresses, creating equilibrium with the human body and nature. Basically the therapy works around the seven principle colors of the rainbow. Each of the seven colors of the spectrum is considered to possess healing properties, including black and white to maintain the balance of the body and mind. Each of these colors is associated with their numerological number and planet. Each Zodiac sign also is associated with a color. The main colors are black, white, red, green, and blue, yellow, violet and so on. 

Just as Sun is associated with Golden yellow, Moon is supposed to be white and stands for purity. Mars is an earthy sign and red is the color. Saturn is a slow moving planet and as Hindu legend has it he is the illegitimate son of Sun. He is dark and hence blue is associated with Saturn. Jupiter the giver of knowledge is associated with yellow; Mercury is associated with green, and Venus is associated with white and silver. It is interesting to note that the flower Hibiscus which is red in color has the properties to improve blood cells in the body. People afflicted with blood cancer are asked to look at this flower to improve the count of red blood cells. 

Color plays a significant role in our day to day life. It is said that a man is recognized by his dress and address. The color of your dress shows what sort of a person you are and what are your likes and dislikes. For example, people who like red color are passionate, ambitious and fiery in nature. Red is also associated with victory. Green is linked with growth and having green plants around you can enhance growth opportunities. White, the symbol of purity brings peace and tranquility to the wearer. That is why white is worn on wedding days.  

Color Therapy also aims to enhance the body's own healing processes by balancing the body's energy centers, and also to help stimulate our body's own healing process. In color therapy light and color are applied in the form of tools, visualization, or verbal to balance energy in the areas of our bodies that are lacking vibrancy, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
