Color Therapy


Color Healing (Chromopathy/Chromotherapy)is changing the condition of a person by visualizing a specific color light around them. The colors are chosen according to the patient’s problem. For example, when dealing with the nervous system, you would use violet and lavender to obtain a soothing effect. To inspire, yellows and oranges would be your choice.

Health is contingent upon balancing not only our physical needs, but our emotional needs as well. In India, a group of healers versed in Ayurvedic medicine describe colors associated with the seven main chakras, which are, according to their system, spiritual centers in our bodies located along the spine.

There are seven of these chakras and each is associated with a particular organ or system in the body. Each chakra has a dominant color, but these colors may become imbalanced. If this happens it can cause disease and other physical ramifications. By introducing the appropriate color, these maladies can be fixed. Below is a description of each chakra and its corresponding color.
• Red: First Chakra: Located at the base of the spine.
• Orange: Second Chakra: pelvis area
• Yellow: Third Chakra: solar plexus
• Green: Fourth Chakra: heart
• Blue: Fifth Chakra: throat
• Indigo: Sixth Chakra: lower part of the forehead
• Violet: Seventh Chakra: top of the head
