History of Colour Therapy

Colour therapy has been used for centuries based on the belief that different colours can impact health and well-being. Ancient cultures like Egypt, India, China, and Persia incorporated colour therapy into their healing practices by using colours in worship, architecture, and meditation to balance Yin and Yang energies. Indians in particular developed extensive theories connecting the seven colours to chakras, auras, and spiritual and physical health that were later confirmed by Western science.

So you are wondering how Colour Therapy can be used. Lets look at the history of Colour Therapy.

Colours can be emitted either physically, through light exposure or through suggestion techniques, nutrition, visualization and meditation. Let us think back to the first man, Adam, his solar rays provided him with vitamins and warmth. This combination meant that Adam was content and healthy. He lived by natures laws. And I dont know about you all, but I truly believe that man should live by natures laws, as much as one can. We, as humankind have made so much damage to our global earth that we all need to rectify it the best way we can. This is why I am a strong believer of Feng Shui, Colour Therapy, meditation and nutrition; together they bring control to ones life and brings you nearer to using natures laws as it is intended. Too often nowadays, individuals are not treated as a whole; however, this could also be the way the system is running. Never the less, individuals deserve to be treated holistically. Some people, see some alternate therapies as voodoo magic, however; Feng Shui, Colour Therapy, meditation and nutrition have been used for many centuries. Those who were depicted as using these ancient therapies were; Egypt, India, China and Persia. Egyptians not only identified that the seven primary colours, which they felt could be used to heal and that they could also use it to practice their worship. Having said this, the Egyptians also built their pyramids according to the natures forces and placed them in certain directions, similar to Feng Shui principals. Both the Chinese and Egyptians were true believers of practicing colour therapy as part of their healing medicine. Iran (Persia) in ancient times used their priest as their doctors and preachers. At around 1000BC, Zoroaster, wrote Persians civil law and a specific law against the demons. This law was named Vendidad. The Vendidad mentions many diseases and how it conducted its medical doctrines. Like the Chinese, they believed in the Yin and Yang forces and the use of colour therapy to complement these forces. The Indians never regarded man as evil. They believed that man should find himself a self awareness of his self consciousness through meditation and they

also, believed that the more you meditated the more you could gain self awareness and heightened sensitivity. So, in the late nineteenth century our western society gained a psychological theory and psychoanalysis theory, whereas; the Indians have practiced this theory for thousands of years. The Indians evolved their theory through the work of Chakra. , since 1910, our western society developed a theory for the Chakra through the endocrine gland and the nervous system. However; for over a thousand years, the Indians interpreted the Chakras understanding to the physical, psychic and spiritual health and well being of the whole individual. The Indians made use of the mans aura, an electromagnetic field force which surrounds the body and to which has since been photographed by western society. The Indians relate the aura to the seven bodies which radiate the seven colours of the spectrum. Hence; along with meditation they used scents, colour therapy to enhance self awareness. They were amongst the first to belief clairvoyants whereas most western society looks at clairvoyance as someone who is mentally challenged. I hope you enjoyed the history of colour therapy, a science used thousand years ago with success.
