Color therapy
Color therapy, or chromotherapy, is the method of treating

ailments through the use of color. Color

therapy can be done by shining an appropriate color on an area
of the body. It can also be done through the eyes by looking at a
particular color, though this should be done with the utmost care
to avoid any strain on the eyes. It is a complementary therapy,
and should not be used as an alternative to professional medical
care. Its results vary and cannot be guaranteed – its efficacy will
in large part be dependent on the individual.
The following text on color therapy provides an introduction to
the subject and gives examples of the qualities and applications
of certain colors. It has been adapted from an article by Dr. King
published in 1961 in Cosmic Voice, Issue No. 24.
–––
In answer to numerous requests, here is some basic information
about color therapy, which is simple and yet effectively
enhances all Spiritual Healing treatments. There are several
potent colors, of these the most important are green, yellow,
orange, red, blue and violet. I will now explain a little about the
use of each color vibration so that readers may use this
information for the promotion of better well-being and harmony
within themselves.
Always apply color vibrations on the bare skin after you have
received any other treatments necessary.
Important colors for use in color therapy

Green
This is the most basic color of all in healing. It is the color which you
always use first and last. No matter what you are ailing, start off and
finish with an application of green. It is the safest color of all to use. It is
a color which can be applied all over yourself or it can be concentrated
on to any one part of the body. The green should be taken from the
middle of the color spectrum, neither too blue nor too yellow. You
should have some type of a color lamp which will spread out the light so
that it can be played all over the front and the back for ten minutes. This
green is the great color of balance, which harmonizes the flow of prana
or universal life force, throughout the psychic centres. It operates, as do
all other colors, firstly on the aura, the reflection of which reacts upon
the physical body.

To apply you must be relaxed while the green light bathes the whole
front of the body for five minutes and the back for five minutes. Then
you can start using other colors.

Yellow
Yellow is the color which signifies wisdom. Any mental deficiency, no
matter how it shows itself, will be relieved by the use of yellow if
concentrated on to small areas of the body. A concentrated beam of
yellow light about the size of a tennis ball applied at the base and at the
front of the neck, has been found very valuable for all cases of nervous
conditions and for all cases where some mental blockage or other shows
itself. The mental blockage may be brought on by bad circulation which
caused the brain cells to be starved of lymph and blood. It may be
caused by incorrect breathing, which brings about mental deterioration
more quickly than anything else or it may be the result of a nervous
breakdown or severe mental strain. In the latter case it could no longer
be considered a mental blockage, but rather – mental tiredness.

Yellow is the color which will relieve this type of condition. The normal
time of application is twelve minutes altogether, therefore if it is applied
over the front and back of the head, and the front and back of the neck in
concentrated form, it should last for three minutes on each place on the
bare skin. Ladies should remove their make-up before color healing as
the pigments are liable to reflect the color rays which are extremely
subtle in nature.

Orange
This is a stimulating color which can be given to the spleen, liver,
kidneys, heart and indeed to any organ which helps to promote good
circulation. The total time for application is 10 minutes. Apply a bright
orange vibration in concentrated form to the spleen if you are suffering
with low circulatory trouble, but not if you suffer with high blood
pressure. All the internal organs such as liver, kidneys, bowels can be
stimulated by this color. The more concentrated it is the more effective it
will be. Your color apparatus should be good enough to concentrate a
beam of light down to about the size of a tennis ball. Such a
concentrated beam of orange vibration played for four minutes on the
spleen twice per week will help those with low circulatory trouble. This
color will help to stimulate the heart if concentrated over this place or
indeed any other organ which needs stimulation. Orange is the great
vitaliser and if given in conjunction with Spiritual Healing and other
forms of natural treatments it can often supplement them and act as a
trigger.

Do not give orange on the forehead of anyone who is highly nervous. If

you or your patient suffers from brain fatigue however, orange can be
given on the back of the neck, but not longer than four minutes.

Red
Bright crimson red is even a more potent stimulator than orange. This should
not be given to anyone on the head. But if really concentrated on to rheumatic
joints it will be beneficial. You can apply the red to the legs, knees or ankles
for ten or fifteen minutes. If the rheumatic conditions are high up in the
shoulders, I would suggest an application for only five minutes at a time.
Place your lamp in such a way that the beam will be projected on to the back
or front of the shoulder and not come across the shoulder on to the head.
Even if it does shine on the head it is not harmful in any way, but it is best to
avoid this.
As the light frequencies of red are slow and very long, they have high
penetrating properties, therefore can be used to stimulate the aura (and
physical body) to such an extent that circulatory blockages can be cleared.

Regarding infra-red this too can be used very successfully. An infra-red lamp
is based on the same principle as an ordinary red color lamp except that the
very potent infra-red rays act directly upon the physical by causing great heat.
Infra-red is far more dangerous to use than the color red and should not be
given for longer than fifteen minutes on any part of the body. Infra-red rays
should not be given over the reproductive organs of a man or a woman,
neither should they be given for more than two minutes over the liver,
kidneys or bladder, because they can cause some damage. Do not under any
account give infra-red rays to the head, certainly not the eyes. If you are
using infra-red then strictly obey your doctor’s recommendations. The color
red can be given over the liver, kidneys or bladder for three minutes without
any harm whatever.

Keep the color red away from the head of the patient who has had a nervous
breakdown or who is highly strung in any way.

Blue
The effective shade is a deep full-bodied primary blue and this can be
applied from the top of the head to the feet of most sufferers. If the
complaint is high blood pressure, any kind of nervous breakdown,
nervous tension in any one of its forms, blue applied for ten minutes can
be beneficial. On the other hand, if you suffer from a cold or flu, use
orange color in preference to blue because you will discover, especially
if you are sensitive that you are liable to get physically cold under the
application of a blue light. This is caused because the high vibrations are
short and quick and they manifest as cold rather than heat. From this you
can see that orange and red produce heat and are therefore necessary in
cases of low temperature; blue produces coldness and is therefore
necessary in cases of high temperature. Blue causes most people to
relax. An application of blue color vibrations will also help people to
sleep who suffer with mild insomnia. For more severe cases a low
wattage dark blue light in the bedroom has, before now, proved
beneficial.

Violet
Violet can be used all over the body, but to apply it lower than the hips
would be a waste of these wonderful vibrations, which are of high
spiritual content. So therefore I suggest that violet light is confined
mainly to the forehead, the back and front of the head, the back and front
of the neck and in concentrated form over the heart and between the
shoulder blades for a total time of fifteen minutes. Violet tends to bring
great relaxation and also like blue, can often be felt as waves of
coldness. It does not stimulate basic circulation, but it does stimulate the
flow of the more subtle energies throughout the psychic centres and the
nervous system. Because of this it is especially beneficial when used on
the forehead and neck.
 Green
All color treatments should start and end with green for ten minutes each
time. Bathe yourself or patient with a green light front and back for five
minutes each side. Now this will tend to balance any imbalance which
may have been brought about through the stimulation of red or the more
subtle stimulations of the blues. As green is the great balancer and
harmonizer it causes many people to become very relaxed. It tends to
counteract subtle energies which have built up in one nerve ganglia and
causing starvation of another nerve ganglia. Start your treatment with an
application of green and always finish with an application of green.

Color therapy through the eyes

Now there is another aspect of color therapy, which has to be done very
carefully but which is nevertheless effective, that is the introduction of
color through the eyes. We all know that what we see affects us. What
most people do not realize is that every color seen has some effect upon
the cells of the body. If you put someone prone to idiocy in a red room,
you will precipitate this condition, if you put the same person in a blue
room, you might alleviate the condition.

Color can be introduced through the eyes but it has to be done very
carefully. Green of course can safely be introduced through the eyes.
When you start your color treatment with green, look at the green light
for a couple of minutes. When you use violet, blue or yellow do the
same with these colors and you will find that they will have a great
inspirational effect upon you.

I do not suggest that you look at orange or red light because of its basic
vibrational properties.

Naturally if your color lamp is too bright to look at without any eye
strain whatever then some kind of a diffusing screen should be put in
front of it while you look at it. If this is not possible then project the
color on a movie screen if you have one or even a white sheet while you
look at the color for two minutes.

During some meetings we had at The Aetherius Society Headquarters in

England, we projected a violet light on to a screen in front of people who
were performing the Violet Flame practice. Every one of them remarked
how much easier it was to do this practice when they could actually see
this color. At least a dozen of these people remarked how relaxed and
harmonious they felt afterwards. You could probably use this yourself
before your practice of The Twelve Blessings. After the end of your
practice throw a green light on the same screen for a couple of minutes
and this will even enhance the procedure.

Color therapy equipment

Now the success of color vibrations does, to some extent, depend on the
purity of the color and the power of the lamp behind it. Plastic color
material can be obtained from any theatrical equipment depot which can
easily be cut to any size you require. Of these we found in England the
best type was fireproof “Cinemoid”. This stuff is heat resistant and very
tough. There must be many such similar commodities on the market.

What about color healing lamps? Well, in Britain there are excellent
color healing lamps for sale, some of which are expensive because they
are hand built of the finest materials available. But it is not necessary to
pay a lot of money for a piece of apparatus. Any slide projector can be
used as an excellent color vibration lamp. It can be focused, does not
give out undue heat, colored plastic can be mounted in the slide carriers
between glass and most of these projectors have an effective cooling
system. Some of the more recent ones even have remote control to
enable you to set up your colors first and then push the button when you
want to change the color… a luxury, which though not necessary, is very
helpful.
You should use a lamp between 230 and 500 watts… but never over 500
watts. If your apparatus is a powerful slide projector you will not be able
to look at this to take the color through the eyes, but in this case, of
course, you can project the color most effectively on to a screen, which
is probably the best way of doing it anyway.

How to enhance color therapy

There is a very deep occult significance behind all colors. Some
astrologers have worked out the color combinations which correspond to
birth signs. As these colors undoubtedly are essential it would be as well
to find this information from some reliable source and incorporate this
combination in your treatment.

If you follow the basic advice given here, you will discover that color
vibrational treatment can supplement all other forms of spiritual healing
and indeed can supplement orthodox methods of healing. Of course the
right spiritual approach coupled with a correctly balanced diet, exercise
and deep breathing is also necessary. So if you combine all these things
together you could derive much benefit.

A last word of advice. In certain cases color healing has been found to
act quickly, but not in all cases. As a general rule the more spiritually
attuned the user is, the more effect color vibrations will have, but even
an ordinary, relatively insensitive person, will eventually react to this
treatment. So go on with it even though it appears, as it will in some
cases, to be slow in its reaction.

In some countries there are strict laws prohibiting the use of color
healing professionally except by qualified medical practitioners. It was
not my intention in this article to give the layman information so as to
enable him to do this professionally; but rather to impart in easily
understandable fashion, a basic knowledge about color vibrations that
readers might give themselves a treatment should they feel inclined to do
so.
