About Colour Therapy
Colour and Light therapy is one of the fastest growing areas of complementary health. It is based on different ancient healing systems which recognise the qualities of the different colours and their affect on us, but also on modern techniques developed by scientists and medical specialists in the UK, Europe and America.
Colour Therapy teaches you how to keep physically and mentally fit by using the right colours in your home and work environment, in your dress and through your diet. It also teaches you special breathing, visualisation and healing techniques directing colour energy onto the body, through the hands or with special light torches and coloured filters. Colour therapy is a subtle but powerful therapy which is entirely safe and suitable for young and old alike, as well as for animals.
Why is colour important to our health?
Light is energy, and to be healthy we need a balance of colour vibrations in our system. The different light affect and control all our primary functions including our growth and sleep patterns, our nervous and immune function as well as our sexual behaviour, appetite and digestion. Colour also affects our moods and mental state. Some colours are depressing while others are uplifting while certain colours stimulate the mind and others sedate us. By studying colour therapy you learn about the specific qualities and actions of the different colours and how they can be used to alleviate both physical and mental illness. You will also discover the mood-enhancing properties of colour which can be used to aid stress and generally improve your quality of life.
