Color therapy works on the principle that we all are in need of light and color to keep well balanced and in good health. Natural daylight contains all the colors of the spectrum that our energy centers need in order to stay well physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is essential that we spend a minimum of half an hour a day in natural daylight whatever the weather, as we absorb light and the colored rays through our eyes and skin.
• Color is one of the languages of the soul, just look at inspired or meditative paintings. • They influence our mood and emotions. • They have their impact on our sense of well-being or un-easiness. • Using and avoiding certain colors is a way of self-expression; it sheds light on our personality. • Colors affect our way of perception (light colors make a space look big, a high ceiling looks less high when painted in a dark color, etc.) • Colors have a symbolic meaning which is immediately recognized by our subconsciousness. It must be said that not all colors mean the same to all persons and all cultures. • They influence the flow and amount of energy in our bodies. • Colors tell something about biological attraction and sexual availability.
Sir Isaac Newton scientifically verified the existence of color within natural daylight in the 1670’s. He passed light through a prism which split the natural white ray of light into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, indigo, and violet. This can be seen naturally in a rainbow where droplets of water act like a prism by splitting the white ray into the seven colored rays of the spectrum.
