About Colors

Colors are our brain's interpretation of certain wavelengths of electromagnetic energy observed through our eyes. The actual color which we see is the part of the visible spectrum that is reflected back by a certain object.

When all the colors of the rainbow are combined, the result is white light.

Colors affect us in different ways:

  • Color influences our mood and emotions.
  • Colors have an impact on our sense of well-being or uneasiness.
  • Using and avoiding certain colors is a way of self-expression; it reflects an aspect of our personality or mood.
  • Colors affect our sense 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 recognized by our sub-conscious mind.
  • Colors, as electromagnetic energy, may influence the flow of energy in our bodies.

How Colors Help Us Heal

True healing comes about when the cause of the condition or illness is addressed and transformed. Our 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. In this sense, colored light acts as both an electromagnetic balancing force and as a focal point for the desired effect.
