Healing with Color

Nature's Healer

Color affects us in totality. We can eat, drink, breathe, visualize, meditate and dance color. When we're feeling off-color we can apply color to restore the bank of health.

Color Healing

There were also schools of color healing in ancient Egypt. In his book, The Seven Keys to Colour Healing, Roland Hunt writes:

'In the ancient temples of Helipolis, Egypt, the force of colour was used, not only as an aid to worship, but also as a healing agent. These temples were oriented so that the sun shone through in such a way that its light was broken up into seven prismatic colours and suffering ones were bathed in that special colour which they needed to restore them to health.'

Color Therapy

Healing colors repair the body in a marvellous way. A rainbow of colors can be seen in so many things - water, snow, crystals... it's reflected everywhere. Color affects our emotions which will be shown through our bodies. We don't even have to see color to be affected by it. Our bodies too act as a prism in the light. When we are well, all the colors shine through through us in an ever-changing, rhythmical light show.

Color therapy (chromatherapy) involves the use of colored slides (glass or theatrical gels) of the appropriate frequency, in conjunction with a light source, which can then be directed at certain parts or organs of the body in need of healing.

For example, if you suffer from heartburn, a blue light of the appropriate frequency focused on the burn will stimulate a healing reaction. The application of cold (blue) counteracts and balances the heat (red), taking the message of heat away from the cells in the affected area.

Color healing is at its most efficient when the power of the mind is used to envision a particular color. When you visualize sending healing colors to a particular part of your body, you are communicating an intention of healing to the internal cellular structure.

Lilian Verner Bonds says in her book ,

A Healing Visualization

Visualize the seven colors gently floating around you and allow your body to take the colors that you need for your own well-being into yourself.

Your own inner light will pull the necessary colors towards you.
