The Healing Properties of Color

The body uses light by selecting the colors that it needs in order to maintain the proper balance and function of its Chakra System. However, due to different lifestyles that keep us indoor and out of full-spectrum sunlight, and because of the different climates and changing seasons in which we live, the amount of light that we do receive is inconsistent. Therefore, we often suffer from a lacking in certain colors, which was called chromopathy by the ancient Greeks – from the words kroma, meaning color, and pathos meaning suffering.

In order to treat this chromopathy, we must harness the healing properties of color, which is achieved through chromotherapy, supplying the body with the lacking colors. Chromotherapy is a tremendous method of therapy, as it takes advantage of the very potent healing properties of colors, without any of the side effects or aggressive natures often attributed to current western medicine.

Each of the 7 Chakra colors has its own healing properties, depending on what is needed by the individual patient. Therefore, determining the specific ailment of the patient is important. Though treating symptoms may be temporarily helpful, it is when the heart of the condition or ailment is identified and addressed that the true power of the healing properties of colors can be witnessed.

Furthermore, the healing properties of color are not limited to physical healing. Since the body is an outward expression of the mental and emotional state of a person, it is even more advantageous to the healing process that color not only caters to the physical ailments of a patient, but to the mental and emotional as well. This is because the colors work with the energy flow, the Chakra system, within the body. This gives the whole person a boost of energy so that the natural healing mechanism of the body can better function and heal itself.

What is important to remember is that the healing properties of color focus on every aspect of your body, mind, and soul, and that each is equally important.
