Colour TherapyColour therapy works on the principle that we need the various vibrations of all the colours that make up light. Indeed we may even be thought of as beings of light. When white light is passed through a prism you will see that it is broken down into the various colours that make up the spectrum. Each of these colours has different attributes. It can have stimulating, relaxing, warming, cooling, or neutral properties. Different colours can be used therapeutically to aid the different metabolic processes within the body.A colour therapist may use any number of a wide range of alternatives to bring the vibrational frequencies of colour into a therapy session. These can include coloured lights directed specifically at parts of the body, more general use of colour lighting, coloured silks, colour homeopathy, various oils, crystals or other options. Colour may also be used as an aid to relaxation, perhaps through colour breathing and meditations using colour. Some therapists will also advise on the therapeutic use of colour in clothing and décor, and some will discuss how to safely get sufficient natural full spectrum light from sunshine every day and the use of full spectrum lighting within the home and workplace. Some forms of colour therapy are likely to appeal more than others. Within The Therapy Network colour therapy is offered using the Bioptron Colour Therapy device or colour homeopathy. Both options are usually used in conjunction with other techniques, as part of a holistic treatment plan.
