Colour therapy for chakra balance - An Article By Tylluan.
It is believed by Colour therapists (or Chromatherapists) that the seven colours of the rainbow relate to the body's seven main chakras. So if you find you are drawn to a particular colour it could be that one of your chakras is in need of your attention.
What is Colour therapy?
Each colour has a different wavelength and light moves in waves of varying lengths, each being sensed individually. Colour therapists believe that different colours correspond with the inner vibrations of the body. They believe that using colour as a treatment if can rebalance and harmonise any out of sync vibrations.
Whilst there are many energy centres – or chakras – it is widely believed that there are seven main chakras.

It’s no huge surprise that colours have such a profound affect on our well being. We’ve all heard the phrases ‘Green with Envy’, ‘The Red mist’, ‘Feeling Blue’. US scientist Robert Gerard conducted a study in 1958 that stated red stimulates us but also makes us anxious, while blue promotes calm. He showed that colour can affect our appetite, blood pressure and aggression. Famously Prisons in Texas dressed inmates in pink. Whilst this was partly to humiliate them, it is also said that pink reduces aggression.
Colour therapy isn’t a newage notion. There are scrolls and texts suggesting many cultures and countries from the ancient Egyptians to the ancient Chinese used and recorded colour therapies.
Bringing Colour therapy to your life.
There are many benefits in seeking a qualified Colour Therapist session. However you can also bring colour therapy to your own home. The below colours introduced through accessories in your home will help provide a full sense of wellbeing. Just remember everything in moderation is more beneficial than drowning your home in colour:

It helps promote inspiration, imagination, empathy, self-respect, dignity, spirituality, intuition, clarity, and confidence.
