Colour therapy is a complementary therapy and not an alternative to medical care. The results of the therapy vary from person to person.
Colour therapy is a non-invasive and natural alternative treatment that brings balance and health to your mind and body when uses in moderation for the right need. The vibrations of the colour improve your mood and overall health by focusing on the positive aspects of mood and mindset.
The basic idea of colour therapy: it is based on the idea that colours create an electrical impulse in our brain, which stimulates hormonal and biochemical processes in our body. These processes either stimulate or calm us.
How Colour Affects Mood and Mental Health: Colour therapy is one of these alternatives that is touted as a way to help people heal, simply by using colours to affect the person’s mental or physical state.
Understanding Colour Theory: In colour theory, every colour has an effect on how a person thinks, acts, and responds to various situation in their world. Colour theory is the idea that the colour a person is surrounded with can have an effect on the person’s health, whether physical or mental/emotional.
Therapy in Healthcare: Color theory is used in a variety of industries to influence the way individuals behave and think in those environments. In healthcare, colour theory is used to create environments that feel safe, healing, and inspiring. As an example, hospital settings are often decorated in soothing, cool colors, such as pale blue and green. This is thought to foster a relaxing environment that enables rest.
Color Psychology as Therapy: During the ancient culture, colour were used to try to affect the mental states of people through the colors used to decorate rooms, the incorporation of natural colours to induce a calm state, and the use of light to balance mental states. It is believed that different colours can induce specific emotional or mental states that can change mood, the level of anxiety or the individual’s perception of a situation.
Colours to Promote Wellness: with a new daily routine and social distancing, our new schedule can sometimes make us feel overwhelmed and anxious. There are solutions and tips to help us stay on track and adapt in these challenging times. Colour is something which impacts us all positively. Colour has the power to directly impact mind and body by energising or calming us down.
There are many colours in colour therapy sessions. As you start with your colour therapy session, your therapist will give you an analysis of all colours and ask you about the aspects of life in which you think these colours can improve. It is possible to combine colour, sound, meditation and crystals to control your mood and emotional well-being and to stimulate health and healing.
Every colour has a unique frequency. The shades of colours used in your colour therapy session will vary depending upon the type of energy with your mind and body. For example, blue is calming. According to the chakras system, our chakra are considered the centres of spiritual power and energy within our bodies. There are seven chakras and different colours represent a different chakra:
The root chakra: Red colour has to do with our connection with the Earth.
The Sacral Chakra: Orange colour is the mind-body chakra.
The solar plexus chakra: Yellow colour is associated with empowerment and well-being.
The Heart Chakra: Green colour is associated with energy, nervous system, mental focus, compassion and empowerment.
