INTRODUCTION

COLOUR HEALING IS A DIVINE SCIENCE

It is not a cult or fad,recently invented /discovered.It was used effectively in Golden Age of
Greece and in age of Mahabharat,Healing temple of light and colour of the Heliopolis in ancient
Egypt and again it was reversed in ancient civilsation of india and china.Through out the ages
there was always been the employment of the colour wisdom to establish poise and harmony to
soothe and sustain to heal and to restore and to create anew.They were all expression of the urge
in the One Divine Creative principle in Light Waves.Colour is therefore a divine force nothing
less.

Broadly speaking there are two classifications for diseases :

1) That which is infectious or induced by the wrong envoirnment or in other words,having

physical orgin.
2) That which originates in the consciousness of the individual , i.e in our emotional
behavior,mental attitude and spiritual outlook or meta physical in origin.

In colour healing white sunlight is used in all its spectrum of colour wave length to run the motor
organs of the human machine effectively,not alone to restore the physical body,but to tone and
refresh the mind,body and spirit.Thus the colour healing is a divine science called as Chromo
therapy.

Colour has the beautiful and purposeful mission of alleviating classed of disease not with the
patch work substitute of drugs,but with the pristine power of light which works on all levels of
our being.

Truly it is very largely due to our general inabilitry to illuminate our lives emotionally mentally
and spiritually that we have loss of tone or disease physically.

We might put it that such people have misty spots in their consciousness which becloud their
inner sun,the sunlight of their souls ( Soul meaning SOL or SUN ).There are Seven Major
centres in the body each have their own particular rate of vibration and absorb from the food we
eat, the thoughts we think, the emotions we harbours certain qualities or vibration whose rate of
frequency is the identical respectively with each of the seven colours of the spectrum.
What is Chromo Therapy ?

Chromo therapy is a simple method of healing through the simple and effective use of colour.

According to Dr.P Mishra and Dr.Beena Mishra,Chromo therapy is a natural means by which
one cannot only preserve the health increase the energy but also cure disease- both on a physical
and mental plane in accordance with Nature Law of Healing.

Chromotherapy is a therapy that has the ability to alter the emotions and physiological and
psychological conditions.

History of Color and Light Healing:

Color and light have been used for healing since the beginning of recorded time. Ancient
Egyptians built solarium-type rooms with colored panes of glass. The sun would shine through
the glass and flood the patient with color. Some people use colored silk cloths which are placed
on the body and then flooded with sunlight. Early color and light healers in the modern world
used colored gels and sheets of glass to apply light to the body. Others used color infused water
and color meditations to send healing rays to the person.

Today, there are many practitioners who use color and light in interesting ways. Some therapists
have a box with a mechanism that flickers light into the eyes. They report success in speeding the
recovery of stroke victims and those persons who experience chronic depression.

Some healers recommend the wearing of eyeglasses with colored lenses. Practitioners of Feng
Shui bring color into our homes and workplaces for optimum balance of energy.

Dr. Peter Mandel, a German acupuncturist developed a system to apply color and light to
acupuncture points on the body. Colorpuncture is now being taught in many countries. In the
United States, color and light therapy is beginning to be recognized as a complimentary system
to other treatments.

CNN recently announced that researchers at Cornell University discovered that applying blue
light to the backs of the knees resets the body’s internal clock, eliminating jet lag and the sleep
disturbances that accompany shift work.

Why it Works:

The earth, the oceans, in fact every living thing, is dependent upon light for its very existence. A
recent scientific study disclosed that each cell in the body emits light. We live in a sea of energy
and our bodies are composed of energy. Color works through and in us, in every nerve, cell,
gland and muscle. It shines in our auras and radiates upon us from the sun. Color is an active
power, exerting a tremendous influence on our consciousness, soul and spirit.
Within our body, our organs, muscles, cells and nerves all have a level of vibration. When our
body becomes out of balance, disease occurs. Each color has its own frequency and vibration.
Through extensive research, we know that color and light will help bring our physical and
emotional systems into balance.

Asian medicine teaches us that our bodies have meridians carrying energy throughout our
system, connecting with each major organ. When blockages in these meridians happen, disease
follows. The Chinese use acupuncture needles to remove blockages in the meridians. Color can
be used in the same way and is frequently more powerful, quicker and has no discomfort from
needles.

Contributions made by :

Sir Izzac Newton

A Great Scientist of yester year to wistom the chromo therapy science owe’s reverence.It was Sir
Izzac Newton who by various experiences proved that when a ray of light (sunlight/white light)
is only allowed to pass through an equilateral glass prism,it is split up into seven component
colours ( VIBGYOR) i.e Violet,Indigo,Blue,Green,Yellow,Orabge and Red which when caught
on screen forms a brilliant band of seven colours called as a SPECTRUM.

Dr.Edwin D Babbit

The method for administering had been developed by Dr.Edwin Babbit.He is generally referred
to us as a Promoter of Chromotherapy.He wrote a famous book – “PRINCIPLES OF LIGHT
AND COLOUR”.

Dr.Ponza

Director of a Lunatic asylum Alexandria Piedmount performed various experiments on colour

therapy.He employed red colour to excite and clear (cheer) the lucratics.He used violet glass with
excellent results in numerous cases when dementia appeared.

Rudolph Steiner

He is acclaimed as a Father of Chromothearpy .According to him there are 7 different energy

centres in human body which run throughout the body.Each of the 7 different spectral colours
has unique effects on physical,emotional and spiritual health.

Neil Finsea of Denmark

He studied the possibilities of assisting the healing of the wounds by visible light.In the year 1893.he
used red colour to inhibit the formation of scars of small pox.

Arnold Rikbi

He believed that “Water is good,air is better and light is the best of all”.
Dr.John Harvey Kellog

In year 1899,Dr.Kellog concluded that people would suffer much less from cold,if they would
make air and sun bathing in a regular practice.

Dr.Saaidman (1934)

He constructed the solarium at Jamnagar-Saurastra-Gujrat (INDIA).

Fundamental Principles of Chromotherapy

1) Sun is our most important source of light,heat,vital energy.Quality of every cell in our
body,\its growth and functions are all determined by numerable radiations which flow
from it.
2) Light is a source of energy in the form of rays.By the efforts of Sir Izzac Newton,we
have come to know that light (sunlight) on dispersion through an isosceles triangular
glass prism is split up into its seven components constitutent colours.If these colours
are caught on the screen,they form a band of 7 colour with violet at the bottom and
red at the top.
3) Violet colour bend the most and red colour bends the least,so violet colour is at the
top. Indigo,Blue,Green,Yello and Orange lie in between the violet and red colour.This
is due to different wave lengths possessed by different rays.
4) Light from its origin-Sun comes from the tiny particles of matter called
“ATOMS”.Atoms absorb energy in tiny bundles called as “PHOTONS”.Photons
with the different amount of energies make up the light of different colours.
5) All visible rays are penetrating longer the wave length of light,deeper in the
penetration.It is this penetration of powers of rays that are important for medicinal
properties which are imparted to blood vessels through skin.Violet colour has shortest
wave length and is most penetrating.Red colour has short wave length.Other rays has
similar properties lying between violet and red rays.
6) Absorption of Radiation: Light is given to body through skin and mucus
membrane.Structure affected by penetration of rays are-1.Skin 2.Mucus Membrene
3.Sweat glands 4.Sebaeceous gland 5.Pigment 6.Hair follicles 7.Nerve Terminals and
8. Blood Capillaries.
7) Another principle of chromotherapy is charging of Water,Oil,Rose water and
Glycerine.When sunlight (white light) is allowed to pass through a filter of any
particular colour,then filter absorb all other colours of white light excepts the colour
of which it is made.
8) Water,Oil,liquid that has to be charged is placed in a glass bottle/bowl/container and a
chromo paper/cello phone paper of a particular colour of which it is has to be charged
with,is wrapped around fully and put it to be sun charged on a wooden table.
9) Two invisible colour of sunlight are Ultra violet and Infra red rays.

CHROMO IN VEDIC AGE :

It is a fact that Chromo therapy was practiced since Vedic age.During this age chromotherapy
was use to cure various ailments.It were also Indians who realized the true effectiveness of
curing properties of sun.Various mantras about this therapy occurs in Vedas which stand out as a
proof.

In Atharva veda ( 496) sun is referred to as referred to as reliver of troubles of leprosy and also
as nurturer of human body.In this veda also reference is made about Sun curing various ailments
of shoulder.leg,mind,heart,etc.

In Bhavisya Puran,a mention is made about Shri Krishna’s son Saambh’s leprosy and in also in
Padma Puran too a mention is made about Maharaj Bhadeshvad’s left arm.Leucoderma being
cured by Sunlight treatment when body parts were exposed to light.

In ChaksoUpanishad-Sunlight is able to cure the eye disease,a reference is made regarding it.Just
as air is important to for mankind sun is also imp for man kind.There is a deep relation between
sun and living things.

In Yajurveda and Rigveda following Sloka being appear as :

“Surya atma jagatstatyu vastat”

It is also known that Sun’s heat was necessary to purify the atmosphere and water from which
the sun light has passed through the sun is an Amrit for the mankind.

Rays of Sun increase the vital energy within us and it also improves muscles tone,It also
improves digestion power.It increases blood flow and keep us warm.It also strengthen our bones.

Since all these medicinal / theurapetic uses were known during Vedic Ages and the effectiveness
of curing too was known,we can say that this therapy during vedic age was put to use to cure
many ailments.

Rainbow

After the rain shower very often we see a semi circular band of 7 colours in sky.This is referred
as to RAINBOW.

During rainy season atmosphere is full of humidity,when tiny drops prevails and when sun light
passes through these drops, each drops of light produces dispersion of light and collectively use
to see an illusion of a band of 7 colours in shape of a bow.These colour are
Indigo,Violet,Blue,Green,Yello,Orange and Red.
Konark Temple

Sun temple of Konark was built in 13th century by eastern ganga King Narsimha.The temple was
an artistic skill prevelant that time due to artistic carving.The word “KONARK” means “SUN ‘S
CORNER”.The artistic carving depicts sun all powerful SOUL of the Universe ridding chariot
of 7 horses.The entry of sun temple faces the rising sun.It is constructed in such a way that we
have knowledge about sec in days,days ub week,month in years.

 “TREATMENT

1.Green Charged Water :

Principle : Water exposed to sun’s rays imbibes properties of rays and proves beneficial either
for drinking,bathing purposes.

Procedure : Take 6 bottle of glass ( preferable of a particular chromopaper/cellophane paper or

colour filter) .Here chromopaper must be of green colour.Fill bottle with filtered water upto ¾ of
its capacity and put it on a dry wooden table in sun for 3-4 hours.If a long exposed is desired,
then bottles should be left in the sun for the whole day,put inside room at night and again kept in
sunlight in the morning.

Dosage : 30ml of chromo charged water taken as a single dose,thrice daily.

2.Blue and red charged oil :

Oil for charging are olive oil,mustard oil,seasame oil.Procedure for charging the oil is same as
above.Charged the oil for 45 days and it can stored upto 2 year.

3.Coloured Breathing:

Australian chromo therapist,Failloyed recommends the colour breathing exercise.By breathing in

the desired colour and exhailing gently colour breath all impurities pass out with breath.

4.Treatment with Salt Bags:

In this,patient is rubbed or massaged with coloured salt bags.These are made up of cheese
cloth,doubled up as filled with 2 cup ful of raw bran and ½ of iodised salt.These bags may be
dyed with a particular dye and placed it in sun for 1-2 hours.Colour has a vital bearing on our
health and effects our mind,mood,emotion and vitality.

5.Corrective Diet:

By eating vegetable,fruits (raw) of a particular colour pain can be allivetaed.Juice can be charged
with solar colour by placing them in sun for a few minutes in a coloured vessel (the vessel must
be same as that of juice).By actually mixing natural food colours to food theurapetic powers are
enhanced.Healing takes place at a faster rate if food consist of ingredients od same colour as
required by the body.

6.Coloured Cloth:

By making a person to wear the colour of choice or stopping him to wear the contra

all the disturbing elements and disturbance caused by emotions,thoughts,desires.”

Meditation is the process of silencing human mind.We sit in dhyan posture and allow the white
light (sun light or light from any source) to fall on us so as to energise various energy centres
(chakra’s) of our body.
