​At all times and in every space, our atmosphere is explosive with varied colors. Color therapy is also known by Chromotherapy, a therapeutic healing practice in which colors consciously affect our physical bodies and are used to permeate a level of balance in assisting with mood.

Through their specific vibrations (wavelengths, frequencies), colors give off powerful influences regardless if we are conscious of it or not. Every hue variation has a vibrational frequency made by visible sound. In order for us to recognize the emittance of sound, nature has created another instrument, our eyes.

​

We can consider the natural occurrence of color through its purest form of expression, the rainbow. We know that when a beam of light falls onto a prism, it refracts into the seven colors of the rainbow.

Our ancient ancestors had specifically engaged in what we now know as Chromotherapy for therapeutic healing of the sick. Depending on their ailment, patients were brought into beautiful rooms with windows covered in dyed fabric such as blue, orange, green and so on.
​
​It’s no coincidence today that most chapels, temples, cathedrals, places of worship, private buildings, homes, and etc. have stained glass windows to advance the incoming light. In this manner, the refraction of the light encourages an effective aspect of healing our physical and emotional bodies.

​Tools for Chromotherapy:

A person may influence the frequencies of COLOR with:

• Meditation
• Clothing
• Jewelry
• Foods
• Colored lights/lamps
• Painting a wall, or canvas
• Natural occurrences- trees, sky, bodies of water, soil, fire
• The Mind

​
​Color therapy is also a visual reminder of what an individual should be focused on achieving wellbeing. We may utilize Chakra therapy, an expression of Chromotherapy in which the person directly engages in the balancing of the seven energy centers, maximizing the flow of energy in our body.  Color vibrations react to our energy centers (chakras) in a very special manner, and because of this sense of a natural “control”, one color of the prism spectrum is assigned to each energy center.

If a person wants to strengthen their relationships to bring love and peace, they would focus on the color pink. They may do this by wearing it (even undergarments), placing on pink jewelry, visually meditate on the color, or engage with the color pink with light or pictures. We can use this in the same sense if a person wants to regenerate their libido. Red would be a good color to focus on because of its strength, willpower, and vitality frequencies. Again they may wear red, eat red foods, drink red drinks, meditate, and so on.

Chromotherapy systems are available for further study; Yet, the simplistic details and techniques of color therapy are ideally self-taught. Being aware of our senses is crucial in this form of therapeutic practice. One should spend a little time every day with specific colors to grasp a better reach of our emotions so that we can pursue a greater understanding of the energies that surround us at every moment.
