Learn to Use Color as Therapy

Vision is the master of the senses. Half of our brain’s resources are dedicated to seeing and interpreting what we see in the world around us. No wonder then that color as a healing method is so effective and powerful.

However, we have been taking this magical gift from the gods for granted. Most of us have become so absorbed in busy-ness that we hardly notice the colors around us anymore. Do you still notice the color in your home, your clothes, your garden, your food or your speech?

In fact, we have forgotten to use our senses to bring us back to the moment. How often do you stop and smell the yellow in sunflowers? Do you remember to taste the red in strawberries? Do you hear the orange in indie music? Do you feel the violet in velvet?

Color, like love, is all around. It exists to feed our soul, to nourish our senses and to lift our spirit when we feel down. It is free, accessible and fun!

Here are twelve ways you can use color as therapy to heal body, heart, mind and soul.

12 Ways to Use Color as Therapy
Color as Therapy Key #1 – Work with color oils

Rub high-frequency color oils on aching parts of the body. High-frequency color oils are made by combining the resonances of color, gems, sound, symbols, sacred geometry, aromatherapy and Pranic energy. All these ingredients and elements are chosen to release certain blocked emotions or thought patterns.

Color as Therapy Key #2 – Utilize essential oils

Add a few drops of essential oil to your bath water or add it to water in a burner and absorb the loveliness. Essential oils have different vibrations that correspond with the various colors. Choose the essential oil according to the color energy that you need. If you need to feel calm, add blue, German Chamomile or Rosemary.
