The Meaning of Colours

What is colour? Out of the many vibrations reaching the earth a tiny octave is registered by the optic nerves. Your eyes respond to these particular vibrations with a reaction that you know of as colour.

Medical science has proven that different colorus have definite and various effects upon the human nervous system and that they act quite independently of your eyes or minds. It has been suggested that the seven colours correspond to the seven major planets and are radiating down to the earth at their specific rates of vibration.

The ideal blending of the seven colour rays in the bright sunlight gives you what is known of as a white light. If being passed through a glass prism splits the rays up they are at once visible as colours. In the same way a rainbow is produced by the minute prismatic effects of rain in the sky. All matter emits vibrations. A human being also radiates subtle emanations of everything of which he is composed. A human with extra sensitive sight is able to see the colours of these rays at a certain angle and speaks of them as the human's aura.

Colours are energies with direct effects on the human mind. Colour has long been used to promote healing and the old magical systems are starting to be explained as humans become more aware of the effects of colour. Colour has been known to have some of the most powerful effects on the human mind and body.

There is magic in colour, power in colour. It has been researched and proven that colour has effects on the mind and body of humans, animals and plants as well.

Colour is perceived as essential for the health, well-being and happiness of a human being. When humans consciously choose to enhance these aspects of life through colour they are capable of enjoying their lives much more. Colour is an every day part of your lives. Look around you, and you will be capable of finding colour everywhere, inside and outside. You wear colour, and you speak colour also. On a daily basis human beings live colour through their clothes, jewellery, fabrics, fragrance, decor, music, the plant and animal kingdom, nature and food. Did you ever hear or say, "I feel a little blue today" Or "I bet he is green with envy" Maybe some one has a "yellow streak down their back." Or did you walk into an office and the rich dark colours seemed so formal, and you felt stiff. Did you ever see the sky so blue it made you want to take off for the day and just enjoy the most colourful day:)

Colour is used in many forms to heal and aid the sick, dis-eased and the distressed. Colour is used in ways such as visualising certain coloured rays in treatment of a client who is known to have a certain illness, etc. Colour healing ought to only be done by people who are expert in knowing what colour or what mixture of colours are required for a certain client with a certain illness. Each colour and colour combination has its own vibration and to make it compatible with the patient vibration, an expert assessment ought to be made. As well as being very distinctive visually, each colour has its own sensation and taste. So while one colour would be an excellent treatment for one client it may cause perceived problems for another. Over exposure to certain colours may result in side effects, so colour therapy ought to be used wisely and only by chose who have the knowledge to use it.

If you consider your sense of vision, colour sets off impulses on the retina, which passes information to the hypothalamus, this is the human brain's control centre. The hypothalamus governs the pineal and pituitary glands, which regulate the flow of hormones and other chemical messengers throughout the body. Each colour is deemed to have a unique frequency or vibrational energy and sends a different signal to the human brain.

Colour is capable of having an affects and effects on your psychological, physical, mental and spiritual selves. The colour of your walls, the colour of your clothes, the colour that you choose to surround yourselves with from fabric to flowers.

Colour Therapy is an ancient form of healing for which humans trace back to the Ancient Egyptians, who are thought to be the originations of the alternative medicine colour therapy, which has also come to be known as chromatherapy, light therapy or colourology. Some of their temples were built for Colour Healing where humans would go to be "revitalised and renewed." Colour seemed to have been of great importance to them.

The Egyptian's deep knowledge and understanding of the healing powers of the colour rays were almost lost later on in history, the Greeks considered colour only as a science. Hippocrates, amongst others, abandoned the metaphysical side of colour, concentrating only on the scientific aspect.

In the early 19th century CE, it was discovered that each colour vibrates on its own wavelength and frequency. Each human dis-ease corresponds to a particular colour. Colour Therapy is the treatment of dis-eases by applying the accurate colours for healing in a more concentrated form than sunlight. To maintain health, the human body requires a minimum of 2 hours a day of unfiltered, direct sunlight shining directly on the skin and through the eyes. Unfortunately this is not possible with the lifestyles you live today.

Light deprivation is becoming a common occurrence is your environment. The colour of the sky and many other things influ-ences your moods and behaviour. Today therapists believe that colour has an effect upon each of you. Therapists use this appro-ach to restore cells to an even level of balance and to stimulate the healing processes. For the reason that colours are capable of hav-ing both a constructive and unconstructive effect, specific colours and accurate amounts of colour are perceived as critical in healing. Colorpuncture combines the concept of colour and acupuncture as a way to clear blockages and restore healthy energy.

Light consists of the seven colour energies: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Each colour is connected to various areas of your body and will affect you differently emotionally, physically, and mentally. By learning how each colour influences us, you are capable of effectively using colour to give you an extra boost of energy when you require it.

The human physical body sends out sensors to experience the sensation. The colour is just energy. Energy is taken in, in various methods and intention is capable of playing a part of this process. Ancient studies seem to have known this. For the reason that humans are always seeking for gratification outside of themselves, they see colour as a form of unimportant decoration to match a theme.
