The Healing Power Of Colour

Colour is used in many forms to heal and aid the sick, diseased and the distressed. Colour has been used in healing from ancient times, as far back as Atlantis. The sun's rays have been known to have magical healing qualities and these rays passed through a spectrum, will give you colours that have very good healing qualities for certain illnesses and injuries.

Colour is used in ways such as visualising certain coloured rays in treatment of a patient who is known to have a certain illness, etc. It can be used in the form of passing sunlight through panes of coloured glass or filters and by using coloured lamps. Another method used to obtain the colour for therapy is by putting water in coloured, clear containers out in the sun and allowing the sun's rays to pass through the coloured glass into the water, then the water is sipped. Leave the containers out in the sun for 2 hours only and bring them in before midday.

Some healers like to use the visualised coloured rays only but some like to help keep the colour energies around the patient also by keeping the colour in the food they eat, the clothes they wear and the colour of their surroundings.

Colour healing should only be done by people who are expert in knowing what colour or what mixture of colours is needed for a certain patient with a certain illness. Each colour and colour combination has its own vibration and to make it compatible with the patient vibration, an expert assessment must be made. As well as being very distinctive visually, each colour has its own feeling and taste. So while one colour would be a good treatment for one patient it may cause problems for another. Over exposure to certain colours may result in side effects, so colour therapy must be used wisely and only by those who have the knowledge to use it.
