We, the average modern human, spend an average of
approximately 85 per cent of our lives in “sun-blocked” rooms, shut away from
daylight. As we gain the majority of our life energy from sun light with its
different colours, many people feel a certain lack of energy, mainly in the
dark and gloomy winter months.
We all know the influence of colours in our lives – the
uplifting yellow of a field of sunflowers, the calming green of the meadows in
spring, we see “red” when we are angry and we see through “pink glasses” when
we are in love.
Many therapists all over the world have been using colour
therapy for thousands of years, knowing that body and mind react to colours in
certain ways, the influence of light on hormones and metabolism. In ancient
China, acupuncture and colour healing were closely related. Their Wise Men used
light and colours as part of their healing methods, and so did their colleagues
in ancient Greece and Persia.
Modern researchers found that certain cells in our bodies
have so-called colour receptors and react on the influence of colours. The more
so, as our sense of vision is directly connected with the autonomous nervous
system. Colour therapy can have a healing effect on different physical problems
and mental disharmonies.
A modern way to bring more light into our lives is to wear
colour therapy glasses. The glasses are available in seven colours, derived
from the spectrum of a rainbow, plus the colours Indigo and Magenta.
Patients who have already tried them can tell about the
balancing effect of blue whenever they are angry or yellow when they are sad.
Students praise the effect of orange during hard times of study, and even
sufferers from allergies and hay fever could find relieve with turquoise. Those
who suffer from dyslexia showed a substantial improvement when they wear the
suitable “therapeutic colour” during daily reading exercises.
To combine the useful with the practical, wear the glasses
during all your outdoor activities, sport, walking the dog etc. (USE ONLY
“YELLOW” FOR DRIVING!)
La vie en rose…
