color therapy
This approach is to use color to cure or prevent various diseases. Even today, in India, color therapy enjoys a very special status. Many people resort to it because they have already experienced its highly healing power.
Everything even indicates that it was the Ayurvedic therapists who were the first to highlight the healing role of color. They realized that color in its natural state gives off energy and that this energy can all be used for positive purposes. These masters of Ayurveda observed that color acts on both the body and the mind, entering into symbiosis with them. Color has a significant influence on the endocrine system, which achieves a regulatory effect on the body.
Everyday colors
Traditionally, sunlight, filtered by colored glasses, has been used to act on the areas of the body to be treated. You can also use colored lanterns to influence the chakras (energy center) according to their respective color. With the arrival of electricity, we also began to use colored lamps.
It is not necessary to do very complicated things to practice color therapy. For example, you can burn colored lanterns to re-harmonize the energy of the house.
Another way is to take into account the colored energy that emanates from your clothes. Not only does the color of these influence you directly, but it affects you indirectly through the way others look at you.
Color Energy Experience
In her book “My Natural Secrets”, Rika Zaraï reports that it was by chance that she realized the energizing effect of color: “Given my curves, I was a subscriber to black, especially on stage . One day in Strasbourg, three hours before my show, I realized that my suitcase had disappeared. And with it my stage outfit.
The only evening dress I could find was bright red. I had no choice. But in the evening on stage, I had a tone of hell. At the time I could not explain the phenomenon. I learned only a little later that certain colors can indeed provide energy.
The conscious use of color is particularly indicated in periods when negative emotions tend to take over. For example, if you’re feeling down or withdrawn, don’t dress all in black. You would reinforce the characteristic inertia effect of Kapha (dosha).
Conversely, if you are a Pitta type and if you are feeling particularly stressed, this is not the time to dress all in red, the color of fire. Wear white or blue instead.
