Colour Therapy

Foreword

The methods of healing so popular during the ancient times have come to our attention nowadays because of the increasing number of people who feel they have been let down by the contemporary medicine. That is way these people are trying to re-establish the contact with Mother Nature that had been lost as they understood the importance of preserving the earth’s supplies. Progressively they relearned to reintegrate nature into their lives as in it they found everything they need it in order to have a happy healthy life. They gave up using chemicals and pills and took up instead using organic food, herbs, gems, sound and colours in order to heal their minds and their bodies. Thus they started using more and more non-conventional or alternative therapies such as: herb-therapy, sound-therapy, gem-therapy, aroma-therapy, colour-therapy and suchlike.

I chose ‘Colour Therapy’ as colour is everywhere around us in art, in nature, in what we wear and in what we eat. Unfortunately people are aware only of the colour of their clothing and do not know the meaning of what they wear. They do not know how colours influences our moods; for instance greed is green, jealousy is yellow, sadness is blue, fury is red etc. Therefore we can use colour to improve our health, to cool down our emotions, to set at ease our minds and to heal our bodies. The psychologists and therapists know all this things but I think it’s time that we should learn them too because things like this can help us to better control our emotions, and to more responsible and to make our life more fulfilling.

Colours and Health

Colour therapy is not intended to replace traditional medicine. The following table* has been designed to help us participate more personally in our own healing process. This list is not prescriptive and we may find other colour combinations more beneficial to us.
