Color Chart

All five of our senses have some form of therapy associated with them to aid in healing the body, mind, and soul. Colour Therapy is the holistic method of healing using the sense of sight.

In order for us to see, there must be light. For the most part, we see white light. White light is the combination of all the colours of the spectrum, seven in total. In school we learn that the seven colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Each color has its own frequency or energy and each of these frequencies effects us differently. The energies of colour stimulate our endocrine system within our bodies. The endocrine system is the network of glands that produce chemicals that help control metabolic activity within our bodies. This system is directly connected to energy centers in our body called chakras. In truth, in some way, all organs, body systems, and body functions are linked to the chakras.

It is a proven fact that our bodies absorb light energy for nourishment. We know this from our studies of Vitamin D and sunshine. What we are beginning to understand is that our other senses can receive color energy through a balance of different colored decor, clothing, foods, herbs, vitamins, Aromatherapy and even sound. Science has shown us that different colors not only affect our mood, feelings, behaviors, and energy, but it can actually have an impact on our overall physiology. Studies have shown that people with the same illnesses avoid the same colors. What is it in the color that causes us to either prefer or avoid specific ones? It is of course the frequency. Frequencies can be felt, seen, and heard on different levels. By looking at and analyzing our different reactions to different colors, we can learn about ourselves and how we use our own energy.

Following is a list of the colors, the chakra's they affect and the effects that they cause. Experiment, Enjoy, and Have Fun! If you see an area that you need help with in your life, you can use Colour Therapy by surrounding yourself with the color that promotes that state of being. You will find that your whole outlook on life and that part of you that is most effected will change for the better. Even just a moment of quiet contemplation of a color in question can make a huge difference in your life.
