Light is energy and colour is light

Light is the only energy that can be seen and we see it as colour.

We are in a world where colour dominates our lives, from reading shop signs to seeing if our fruit is ripe enough to eat - we experience the effects of colour in our everyday life without even thinking about it. The impact of colours on human beings dates back thousands of years to the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India and has fascinated many throughout the ages – artists, researchers, psychologists, fashion and interior designers and even marketing experts. Scientists have shown that colour not only affects your mood, energy, feelings and behaviour, but it can also have a real impact on your physiology. It is well known scientific fact that everything has a vibration, that is to say, that all things have their own vibration/frequency and that includes US!

Our most important energy source is light. Our body absorbs light energy for nourishment on a daily basis. Light flows through our eyes and influences our brain and stimulates our body’s endocrine system, which is connected to our energy centres (chakras). All organs, body systems and functions are connected to these energy centres which are represented by the seven colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Purple.  Sunlight, which contains all the wavelengths, consists of the entire electromagnetic spectrum that we depend on to exist on this planet. As well, our other senses can receive additional colour energy through a balance of different coloured foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals, gemstones, aromatherapy, essences, sound, clothing, décor etc. By learning how each colour influences us, we can effectively use colour to give us an extra boost of energy when we need it.

Colour is pure energy, it has its own powerful language and our first experience of colour begins in a water-filled environment in the womb where we are surrounded by a nurturing, comforting and loving energy - pink. As a young child we begin to learn, one of our earliest teachings is colours and their names. These first associations contribute to our colour consciousness. As we get older we may attach different feelings, memories and meanings to colours and this can then become a feature in our subconscious mind. We can build up likes and dislikes to certain colours which may have happy, sad or frightening connotations for us.

You can create your own colour healing therapy by learning the effects of each colour and using the information consciously in your everyday life – by carefully choosing the clothes, accessories and make-up you wear each day, the colours of your walls, furniture and soft-furnishings, working with gemstones, candles, coloured light bulbs – the possibilities are endless. When you are outside, your body chooses the colours it needs the most from the light spectrum provided by the sun. We are all attracted to certain colours and most of us change colour preferences quite often. It usually reflects our deeper needs, the qualities of the certain colour we need most at the moment.

Colour light energy affects all living cells. Used in the right way, colour can have a profound healing effect on all creation, human or otherwise. Colour therapy aims to enhance the body’s own healing processes by balancing the body’s energy centres, and also to help stimulate our body’s own healing process. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful colours of the rainbow for no reason. Nothing on this earth is here just by chance; everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour is no exception. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of colour and how it can transform our lives.

Each colour is connected to various areas of our body and will affect us differently emotionally, physically and mentally. Since our minds create our reality, using meditations and visualisations with colour adds powerful effects to your healing process and personal spiritual growth.
