Color Therapy: Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit

By Aurore Adamkiewicz, ND

Color therapy can be approached in many different ways. Waldorf

uses it in terms of the Goethe color wheel with an emphasis on

secondary colors. The Vedic scriptures, in terms of Ayurveda, uses

color therapy to balance the doshas which are based on the elemental

constitutions of the body: fire, water, or air. Another application

for color therapy is through the work of the late Dr. Dinshah and his

area of expertise " Spectro-Chrome. " Dinshah is attributed to

bringing color therapy to the United States, using it for healing and

created a large case study database for many different diseases and

illness. He worked in a hospital in Philadelphia in the early 1900s

but he was never free from persecution by the medical association who

were out to prove he was a " quack. " I myself, as a naturopath,

specialize in Vedic and Spectro-chrome color therapy and have had and

continue to have amazing results. So much so, that I depend very

little on expensive herbs and natural pills to bring the body back

into balance. I am also, at the present time working on applying

color therapy to Orgone therapy, as a means to unearth and heal the

emotional body as well.

In regards of using color therapy for the application of

disease, the body or more specifically, the energetic shell

surrounding the body will only take in the amount of color that it

needs to balance. Dinshah asserted that the body shuts off after an

hour unless you have an acute problem, as in the case of hemorrhaging

or sepsis (Dinshah, 2005). This is one of the many foundations of

using Spectro-chrome color therapy and how I primarily use it as a

Naturopath with my six point color machine, affectionately coined,

the " Aurorachrome. "

Regarding Vedic or Goethe color therapy, problems arise when too

much of one color upsets the balance on an emotional/energetic level

(Thirta, 1998). So, for such devices as color graded sunglasses,

where you are continually receiving color, the mood or emotional body

can become affected and altered. Take for example, pink glasses,

they have been proven to reduce headaches and calm a person down

within minutes. Coincidentally, bubblegum pink rooms are used in

institutions and asylums in order to sedate and calm. One must also

take into account the propensity for pink to continually sedate or

take an effect on someone who is too calm or lacking energy. Perhaps

this could inadvertently contribute to apathy or the organism's

ability to " enter in " to their life more consciously. So, I was

always told that grey gradient sunglasses are the best and any other

colors should be reserved for special times and circumstances.

When speaking on Ayurvedic color therapy, I am not talking about

the chakric centers, which were assigned colors in the latter half of

the 20th century (Eason, 2001). I specifically address this

information in my book " Beyond Natural Cures " where I compare and

contrast Dinshah's color recommendation with the chakra colors. In

terms of vedic color therapy it is about the ability to excite or

depress, heat or cool. I use color therapy primarily based between

Ayurveda and Dinshah. More specifically, the area of cymatics, which

is the study of wavelengths as named by the late Dr. Jenny in the

early to mid 1900s are the foundation of my focus. This is whether I

am talking about color, sound, or even electromagnetic fields and

microwaves.

For instance in a bedroom lacking marital " action " or sleep,

might be caused from the color of the room or perhaps the bed is

placed up against a wall inundated with electrical cords within the

wall. Similarly, a TV, smoke detector, alarm clock or computer could

all contribute to wavelength disorders, manifesting in a " bad " nights

sleep or as complex as cancer and disease. When looking at cymatics,

the science and study of wavelengths, problems could be related to

wavelengths of color, wavelengths of sound or actual wavelengths and

microwaves from electrical fields such as those emitted from cell

phones, computers, or the highly damaging and disease causing " Wi-Fi. "

In regards to Steiner and Goethe the color green and the " Peach

Flesh " color are considered healing and balancing (Lissau, 2003). I

have in my color machine- 250 different color slides and color

combinations but NO peach. So, this does interest me and I am

researching this more. A basic guideline for children and cymatics

is making sure the child has access to a full spectrum of colors and

MOST importantly are not exposed on a daily basis to fluorescent

lighting or the so called " full spectrum " lighting which has the

yellow completely taken out of it. Keeping electrical devices out of

the bedroom or playing area and not living in an area where Wi-fi is

being directly " shot " into your home or school from a tower would be

a good protocol to follow. Realize that when attempting to provide a

healing environment in terms of all wavelengths, color is only apart

of the whole.

I can't help but think how much healthier, stronger, smarter and

more energy we all would have been without spending ten hours a day

in the mind altering cancer causing fluorescent lighting at school.

Imagine if schools switched over to the more healthier and eco-

friendly LEDs. In closing, I have an excellent article on the

dangers of fluorescent lighting available on my website, so please

take a moment to check that out to. It is my sincere hope that color

and sound therapy will be taken more seriously in years to come.
