Everything is made up of electromagnetic energy vibrating at different frequencies that correspond to sound, light and color. If you pay close attention, you will find yourself drawn more to one color than another. The energy vibration of that color is what you need, at this moment, in order to improve and balance your emotional state.
Color research has shown that in human beings, both psychological and physical activity appear to increase as the wavelength of light increases. Reds, oranges and yellows are naturally more stimulating to us than greens, blues and purples. Other research shows that blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rates tend to increase most under yellow light, moderately under orange, and less under red. They decrease most under black, moderately under blue, and minimally under green.
Traditional color wisdom dates back as ancient Egypt. In Indian philosophy, the seven colors of the rainbow are associated with the seven chakras - energy centers - of the body. Each chakra is related to a specific psychological, physiological, and spiritual functions.
There are numerous ways to heal and balance with color. A good rule of thumb is this: Energy follows thought. Where we put our thoughts is where the energy goes. By concentrating on a particular healing color, the visualization of that color will be projected. If we focus on a color, the energy emanates from our body and begins to change the frequency that resonates with that particular color.
Color is also light. Light is split into different wavelengths vibrating at different speeds and different frequencies. Objects that absorb all wavelengths of light and do not reflect any, are black. Objects that reflect all wavelengths and do reflect anything, are white. Between black and white lies color.
Colors are wavelengths of energy that, to us, appear as color because of the potential and capabilities of the object to either absorb or reflect the energy. This basic principle is how we experience color.
Color holds different properties.

2. Tuesday - Red
3. Wednesday - Violet
4. Thursday - Blue
5. Friday - Yellow
6. Saturday - Indigo
7. Sunday - Orange
Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy or colorology, is an alternative medicine method. It is claimed that a therapist trained in chromotherapy can use color and light to balance energy wherever our bodies are lacking, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental.
Chromotherapists claim a scientific basis for their practice, proposing that colors bring about emotional reactions in people. A standard method of diagnosis is the use of Luscher’s color test, developed by Dr. Max Luscher in the early 1900s. When performing chromotherapy, color and light is applied to specific areas and acupoints on the body. Because colors get associated with both positive and negative effects in color therapy, specific colors and accurate amounts of color are deemed to be critical in healing. Some of the tools used for applying colors are gemstones, candles, wands, prisms, colored fabrics, bath treatments, and colored glasses or lenses. Therapeutic color can be administered in a number of ways, but is often combined with hydrotherapy and aromatherapy in an attempt to heighten the therapeutic effect.
Practice your own color therapy just by adding more color in your life. If nothing else, your life will be a lot more colorful.
