Abstract

The body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the soul (subconscious), and the spirit (super conscious) of the individual. Thus, any healing technique which deals only with the physical body and the energy field of the individual tends to accomplish one thing keeping this in mind, the authors look at how color can help jumpstart the tired or diseased body. Color healing, known as Chromo therapy, can be implemented in a number of ways. The ancients built great halls of color healing, where the individuals entered and were bathed in light, that was filtered through various colored glass panels or windows. Chromo therapy or color therapy involves the use of color to achieve overall good health and to treat some diseases. Useful in treating emotional and physical problems related to sleep, chromo may involve exposure to colored lights, massage oils or ointments colored, meditation and visualization of certain colors or wearing certain clothing colors. Color channels were used for healing in ancient Egypt, China and India. Energy (spiritual) healers often supplement their healing work with color healing. As they lay their hands on the patient, they mentally direct specific color rays into the patient's aura and body.
