How to use colour therapy for healing?
In colour therapy treatment, two major techniques of chromo therapy are used—through sight or skin.
Eyes: So in order to perform colour therapy through sight, one has to look at that specific colour, and it’s supposed to heal a certain problem. If we use the example of the colour green, like in trees or grass, it is said that it gives us peace and instantly relaxes our minds.
Skin: We all know how colours affect our skin. If we take the example of the colour black, we have all experienced that if we wear black in summer, the radiation coming from the sun affects black very much, thus resulting in more heat, and our bodies become warm very quickly. In a similar manner, every colour has its wavelength and frequency.
And they use this frequency and wavelength to affect the body or a certain issue. We know the properties of warm and cool colours; they have different effects on our body, as warm colours are mostly used to stimulate some specific points, while cool colours are used for relaxation.
