COLOR
THERAPY
Overview
Color is energy. You will find yourself drawn to one color more than others.
The energy vibration of that color is what you need, at this moment, in order
to improve and balance your emotional state.
There are numerous ways to heal and balance with color. A good rule of
thumb is this: “Energy follows thought” Where we put our thoughts, this is
where the energy goes. By concentrating on a particular healing color, it is
the visualization of that color that will be projected. If we focus on a
color, the energy emanates from our body and begins to change the frequency
that resonates with that particular color.
Color is light. Light, which is split into different wavelengths vibrating at
different speeds and different frequencies. Objects that ABSORB
all wavelengths and DO NOT reflect any, is
black. Objects that REFLECT all wavelengths and DOES
reflect everything, is white. Between black and white lies COLOR.
Colors are wavelengths of energy that, to us, appear as color because of the
potential and capabilities of the object to either absorb or reflect the
energy. This basic principle is how we experience color.
The Chakra
The Chakra are stations along the central axis of your being. Each one is a
point at which energy can be expressed in a certain set of actions, attitudes
and emotions. The Chakra are a map of the soul which you must move along for
healing to happen. <P.DIS-EASES from which we suffer, tend point region of
governed that Chakra. allows us to see where the ?stuck?. This energy is
connected with our physical through points.
These points represent our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
growth. When these points are healthy and in balance, then we are the
equivalent.

ACCESSING YOUR NEEDS
In order to balance your energy points with color you first
must access if your energy center points are balanced or unbalanced. Based on
the Physical/Mental/Emotional attitudes causing the unbalance, you can access
the most prominent color needed. This is why Holistic Healing seeks the
metaphysical cause behind the physical problem.
*An underactive chakra is usually one in which the
energy is blocked or congested. The energy does not flow freely through the
physical system. If it is congested ,blocked, underactive, we lack the energy
to perform our daily functions. An application of color can help to stimulate
the chakra into a balanced state.
*An overactive chakra is one in which overstimulation
occurs. There is too much energy being drawn in and out of the center,
aggravating a specific condition. An application of the complementary or
opposite color is used.
The general rule for the chakra: If the chakra is underactive, an
application of its basic color is used. If the chakra is overactive, then the
application of the complementary or opposite color is used.
The following is the color with its complementary color
following:
Red's complement Green
Orange - Blue
Yellow - Violet
Green - Red
Blue - Orange
Indigo - Orange
Violet - Yellow
The color energy that surrounds us are changing
based on how we are "inside
ourselves." Physical, mental, and emotional situations show
through the colors of our Aura.
 Your
Aura
The word "aura"
is but another name for "forcefield"
or "radiation." Every
substance in the universe has a radiation or aura -- and the auras of
minerals, plants and animals as well as human bodies have special
characteristics.
In it's basic form, it embodies seven major layers powered through seven major
energy centers called Chakra and is energized by the Kundalini which is the
storehouse of Vital energy situated at the base of the spine. Vital energy
should flow naturally up the spine with some energy radiating out of each
Chakra with most rising through the Crown Chakra at the top of the head.
The science and art of medicine that was initially one, and then split into
two, are now approaching reunion. The healing science that became traditional
medicine and alternate medicine is slowly becoming the healing sciences. The
history of this topic is extensive -- extending back thousands of years.
5000 years ago, ancient spiritual tradition of India spoke of a universal
source of all life. The energy called "prana." This Universal energy
is the breath of life which moves through all forms to give them life. Yogis
work with this energy with breathing techniques, meditation, and physical
exercise to produce altered states of consciousness and longevity.
3,000 years ago, the ancient "Qigong" masters in China were
practicing their meditative discipline to balance and invigorate the human
energy field. They called this vital energy that pervades all forms, both
animate and inanimate, "Qi". The Qi is the vital energy of the body;
while gong means the skill of moving this Qi and working with it.
Practitioners use mind control to move and control the Qi to not only improve
health and longevity, but also to enhance awareness, psychic powers, and
spiritual development. The ancient Qigong masters also developed Tai Chi, Kung
Fu, and the martial arts. In addition, they made the first model for
acupuncture. Acupuncturists insert needles, or use moxa, or put magnets at
specific acupuncture points to balance the yin and yang of the human energy
field. When the Qi is balanced, the entity has good health. When the Qi is
unbalanced, the entity has poor or impaired health.
The Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical teachings written about 538 B.C., calls
these energies the Astral light. Later on, Christian paintings and sculptures
show a halo around the head of Christ and other spiritual leaders. Similarly,
we see this halo on statues and paintings of Buddha, and also see energy or
light coming from the fingers of many of the gods of India.
In fact, there are references made to the phenomenon of the human energy field
(HEF) or the aura of the body, in 97 different cultures.
Reading The Aura
• The colors of the aura provide a guide in understanding our emotions,
consciousness, energy processes and centers.
• Although not all people are aware of their aura-seeing ability, all of us
sense auras through a combination of perceptions at the subconscious,
instinctual level.
THE COLORS
*Red, yellow and orange: these are warmer colors and denote extroversion,
expressiveness, practicality and vitality.
*Blue and green: these cooler colors generally show more sensitivity,
peacefulness, as well as, an inward and intuitive nature.
*Violet and white: symbolizes a vivid imagination, magic and a spiritual
orientation towards life. It tells you that you are, or have the ability to be
connected to the one consciousness. It is the highest and truest ability to be
one with the spiritual, allow great insight, vision and clarity.
*Black is a color often shrouded in confusion. Many individuals shy away from
Black or using Black, especially when using Color Therapy. Black is actually a
protective color. It can be used to calm and ground extremely sensitive
people. It activates the feminine or magnetic energies of the body,
strengthening them. It should be used sparingly for too much Black can cause
depression or aggravate emotional and mental condtions. Black is most
effective when used in conjunction with White which balances the polarities of
an individual. It can activate the level of the subconscious which can put
life in it's proper perspective.
A body that may have a Black Aura is usually a body without life. The light is
gone from the body. Also remember, Black contains the entire color spectrum.
It is just not visible to the human eye.
THE LOCATION OF COLORS
*The right side: emphasizes the masculine energy. The recent past or that
which is leaving you.
*Center and above the head: best expresses what you are experiencing right
now.
*The left side: emphasizes the feminine energy. The near future or that which
is coming into your life.
THE SHAPE OF THE AURA
*If it is bright and extended widely around you, this means that you are
feeling happy, optimistic and good about life.
*If it is dark and narrow, this could mean that you are depressed, ill,
listless or afraid.
*If it is even on all sides, this means that you are well balanced and
consistent *If you see gaps or holes in your aura, this usually symbolizes a
loss or a will to let go of something significant.
"There are actually no bad human qualities, but
there are many unbalanced people."
- Guruji
Balance
This is the bottom line. We strive all our lives to keep in balance. Our
emotions, mental, physical, and spiritual being. When all our chakra points
are balanced, we display all the colors of the rainbow around us. If there is
disturbance, on any level, this shows in our chakra. The energy does not flow
smoothly along our spine.
Color energy works positively and negatively, Yin and Yang, for and against,
give and take...in order to maintain harmony and balance.
"Many unnecessary deeds, happenings, and
accidents might be avoided if you are in balance."
- Guruji
QUICK
FIX COLOR THERAPY SESSION
You will find yourself drawn to one color more than others.
The energy vibration of that color is what you need, at this moment, in order
improve and balance your emotional state. Selecting your chosen color by
clicking on it with your left mouse button, will take you to the large screen
view. Position yourself at a comfortable distance from the screen and allow
yourself to relax. Gaze at the color for as long as you feel comfortable,
blinking as you need to. Move your eyes to different areas of the screen.
Drink in the color through your eyes until you feel satiated. This may take
several minutes. (Remember to take care of your eyes by blinking and look away
from the screen occasionally.) Once satisfied you have absorbed enough of the
color's vibrations, use your browser's "back" button to return to
the main color screen. If another color appeals to you, repeat the above
process. (Please note your monitor must be able to show 256 colors for the
best effect.)
Try it!
This color experience provides the
opportunity to discover for yourself, the impact colors can have on your
well-being. The need for a particular color's vibration seems to differ from
day to day or even from hour to hour. When you absorb a color vibration it
travels, via the nervous system, to the part of the body that needs it. Each
body has its own optimum state of well-being and is constantly seeking ways to
maintain or restore a balanced state. Utilizing color, is one way you can help
yourself to harmony!
