One of Nature's most magnificent displays is the rainbow.
It is created when light passes through droplets of moisture in the air.
Sunlight contains different frequencies of electromagnetic energy. Each tiny envelope of water becomes a prism, refracting the rays and
causing each frequency to bend to a different degree.

Colour Therapy utilizes the fact that each major colour of the rainbow,
is a different quality of light, vibrating at its own energy level.

 

RED

Of all the colours, red has the slowest vibration, making it the heaviest and the most dense. It relates to instinct, survival, and physical drive. It is the colour of strength, vitality and passion. It stimulates blood circulation and increases the body temperature.

Orange

This is the colour of joy, movement, and dance. It is a great antidepressant and it encourages creativity, excitement, vibrancy, and humour.

Yellow

Invigorating and warm, the colour yellow is closely associated with sunlight. It stimulates our intellect and logical mind, as well as helping with the digestive process. It is related to control, will, and ego.

Green

Green is associated with nature, trusting in the process of life, acceptance, compassion, caring, and sharing. It is balancing, harmonizing, and restful. It soothes the emotions and heals the heart.

Blue

This colour is restful, truthful, and peaceful. It is the colour of honesty, devotion, and aspiration. Blue slows things down, eases stress, tension, and pain.

Violet

Violet is soothing and tranquil. It is the colour of introspection, meditation, contemplation, dignity, and respect, and it boosts self-esteem. It feeds the area of insight, intuition, and perception.

Magenta

This gentle colour has the fastest vibration. It is the colour of letting go and moving on. It is the nurturing and protective colour of unconditional and spiritual love.

ORANGE

YELLOW
Can result in excessive mental stimulation, ego, detachment, and arguments.

GREEN
Can result in indecision and static, inactive feelings.

BLUE

VIOLET
Best avoided by those who tend to live too much in a fantasy world.

MAGENTA
