Think about how uninspiring a world without color would be. Most people don’t realize the power colors have on our mood and how they positively affect our well-being.
Not only do colors have the ability to stimulate various responses in your brain, but alternative medicine practitioners are using color therapy as a non-invasive means of healing.
There are trillions of cells in the human body and each one of them vibrates at a particular frequency – as do colors. The body absorbs energy emitted by these colors. According to The National Institute of Mental Health, our behavior, mental health, and general happiness rely greatly on color balance. Color Therapy, also known as Chromotherapy, heals the body and sparks the regeneration and re-balancing process.
Color Therapy assists with removing blocked energy in order to align the electromagnetic colors in the body. Our organs, bodily systems, and functions are linked to our energy systems. When our bodies suffer from a disorder, disease, or simply feel “blue,” it is your body’s way of communicating that it is not functioning at its proper frequency.
The next time you find yourself fatigued or in need of a mental boost, try color therapy. Visualize a color that will inspire a positive day. Or, simply wear the color that aligns with your desired mental state.
