Physical, Psychological and Spiritual Benefits of Color Therapy

Color therapy dates back thousands of years into ancient times. Color is simply light at a certain wavelength, each color has it’s own wavelength and energy association. Each of the seven spectrums of color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) resonates with the energies of each of the seven chakras of the body. Like the internal workings of a complex machine each chakra must perform in sync with one another to achieve optimal health. It is a relationship dependent on balance. If one of these chakras becomes weak or under-performs, the whole system may be at risk. Color therapy can help re-balance chakras by stimulation of weak wavelengths with the associated color and energy center.
Color can be absorbed through our eyes, our skin, and through every form of contact on a physical, spiritual, and emotional level. Color can stimulate through a beings aura or the magnetic field that surrounds each. Every cell is dependent upon the energy absorbed from wavelengths emitted by colors.
