What is COLOUR?
Colour is energy with a defined frequency and wavelength. The energy of
colour influences the entire cosmos and all organisms that are part of it.
Everything has a particular vibrational frequency, and every vibration has its
own frequency. Among the many different frequencies there are small groups
of frequencies.
The human eye can see the colours RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE, INDIGO andPURPLE. Each of these colours has its own wavelength
and frequency, and the length of the wave in the range of light that the human
eye can see is between 740 nanometers in the colour red and 400
nanometers in the colour purple.
The human eye is only able to see the colours within the range of these two
wave frequencies. The colours RED and PURPLE are visible to the human
eye.
Colours such as Infra-red light and ultra-violet light are invisible to the human
eye yet all colours exert a significant influence on our moods and entire
organism.
In colour healing (Chromotherapy) and therapy all of the colours of the
spectrum are utilised. Every colour has different associations, feelings and
emotions within the human brain and psyche, yet differ from person to
person.
Colours have strong mental effects on our nervous system, our emotions, our
aura and our hormonal system.
In colour therapy, the various frequencies of the visible colours are utilised in
order to alter a particular mental or physical state.
The use of colour for:
• treating diseases and ailments,
• for protection, attracting a mate,
• for raising one’s spirits and the like, has been known for thousands of years
among all civilisations.
• Even in prehistoric times colours were used to paint pictures on cave walls
and for anointing or painting the body for different rituals.
