The wondrous displays of color that
define the world around us are manifestations of light, and as such, each
possesses a unique frequency. The attraction we feel to certain colors is
not a matter of chance — we experience the beneficial effects of color
even while blindfolded. We are naturally drawn to those colors that lift
our mood, expand consciousness, and restore health. Color therapy, also
known as chromo therapy, allows us to harness the power of individual
color frequencies to heal the body, positively influence our emotions,
and achieve a renewed sense of inner harmony through sympathetic
resonance.
It is easy to overlook the colors that
saturate our personal and professional environments. Yet these, whether
in the form of the paint on our walls or the clothing we wear, can
influence our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to an extraordinary
degree. The colors we like best are often those that we need most in our
lives, and there are many ways we can utilize them. Basking under a
colored lightbulb or gazing at an area of color can stimulate or calm us,
depending on the color we choose. For example, red stimulates the brain,
our circulatory systems, and the first chakra, giving us an energy boost,
while blue acts on the throat chakra, soothing the body and mind. And
when we do not feel drawn to any one color, we can still benefit from the
healing effects of white light, which is an amalgamation of all the
colors of the visible spectrum. It is a cleansing color, one that can
purify us on many levels.
Human beings evolved to delight in
vivid sunsets and rainbows, to enjoy the sensations awakened by a
particularly eye-catching color, and to decorate our spaces and ourselves
with bright colors. In essence, we evolved to love the light because of
its harmonizing influence on every aspect of us. When we pay attention to
the potential effects of individual colors, we can modify our spaces,
wardrobes, and habits to ensure that we introduce the colors that speak
to us most deeply in our everyday lives.
