Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is classified as a vibrational healing modality.  Vibrational medicine incorporates the use of chi energies within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight, and sound.

Color is simply a form of visible light, of electromagnetic energy. All the primary colors reflected in the rainbow carry their own unique healing properties. The sun alone is a wonderful healer!  Just imagine what life would be like without sunshine. It has been proven that lack of sunlight contributes to depression for some people.

Color therapy applies light and color in the form of tools, visualization, or verbal suggestion to balance energy in the areas of our bodies that are lacking vibrance, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental.

According to the therapeutic aspect of color therapy, colors are infused with energy.  Each color has a unique effect on the body. 

Red is associated with energy, empowerment, and stimulation.  It is used for circulation and stimulation of red blood cell production. 

Orange is associated with pleasure and enthusiam.   It is used as an antibacterial agent and to ease digestive discomforts. 

Yellow is associated with wisdom and clarity.  It is used as a decongestant, antibacterial agent, and for the digestive and lymphatic systems.

Green is associated with balance and calmness.  It is used for treatment of ulcers, as an antiseptic, a germicide, and as an antibacterial agent. 

Blue is associated with communication and knowledge.  It is used to eliminate toxins, and treat liver disorders and jaundice. 

Indigo is associated with sedative qualities, calmness, and intuition.  It is used to control bleeding and abscesses. 

Violet is associated with enlightenment, revelation, and spiritual awakening.  It is used to soothe organs, relax muscles, and calm the nervous system.

Vibrations from the colors are believed to balance the individual.  Chakras are areas of the body associated with certain colors.  When an individual is experiencing a problem with a certain area of the body, different colors work to heal the associated chakra.  There are seven chakras associated with the body

The first chakra is associated with the color red and is located at the base of the spine. 

The second chakra is associated with the color orange and is located at the pelvis and groin area. 

The third chakra is associated with the color yellow and is located at the solar plexus. 

The fourth chakra is associated with the color green and is located at the heart. 

The fifth chakra is associated with the color blue and is located at the throat. 

The sixth chakra is associated with the color indigo and is located at the brow. 

The seventh chakra is associated with the color violet and is located at the crown of the head.

Accordingly, the chakra colors when absorbed by the brainwaves balance the chakra system.
