Colour Therapy and Its Benefits


Colour is powerful, whether we are eating it, wearing it or looking at it!

Colour is a living energy whose power affects us on all levels. We are all beings of light, therefore light is essential for our well-being. Light is colour and colour is energy and not only is it everywhere but all around you.

It can be used to bring balance and harmony within the psyche and the body, it influences our moods, and it affects our homes, our workplace, our schools, our hospitals, and our very existence. No matter what our focus, colour is a part of it.

When we study the origins of art, science and healing, we can see the influence colour has played as far back as ancient times, the influence was strongly felt in ancient civilisation, but slowly disappeared and was lacking for many centuries.

As you become more aware of colour, you can choose colours effectively in your daily life (in your clothes, gardens, environment and your car) to keep you balance. Colour can play an important role in your personal growth. The colour system Aura Soma is a tool you can use to assist with your personal growth.

It is also known that certain colours can affect certain diseases, build new tissues, burn out (cellular) corruption, cure certain nervous troubles and eradicate certain nervous tendencies. We see this in our hospitals where we use blue light on newborn babies with jaundice. We also know that some prisons use pink rooms to calm the more violent criminal as this colour depletes energy and many police stations use blue rooms for their interrogations, as the suspect is more apt to tell the truth in a blue room.


By becoming aware of the power of colour and its effects on us, we can learn to make positive changes in our lives.


The primary colours of red, blue and yellow, from which all colours of the spectrum are formed, are reflected in plants, trees, flowers, rocks and crystals.

Each colour serves a unique purpose in our lives. Purple calms the consciousness and allow us to get in touch with our deeper thoughts. Blue is the colour of peace and communication. This is why some hospitals have painted their walls blue. It was found that it does aid to the healing process.  Green is also for peace, but more importantly for the balance of the heart.  Yellow is the colour of the digestive juices, as well as the colour of the intellect. Orange is a warmer colour used to help restore and balance ourselves; it is associated with reproductive system. Lastly red is the closest to the ground for us; it represents our gross energy or physical movements.

No matter how we use colour in our lives to express ourselves – be it thru clothing, furnishing, flowers, crystals or oils, eating - the colours we choose will have positive and negative qualities.  Understanding the power behind colour simply allow us to make better choices, to add the quality of colour to our daily life that will help us achieve what we want to project.

Colour also has an important place in food; both to please the eye and stimulate digestive juices. It also can be used to bring about an improvement in our health.

As a healing tool, colour is used by colour practitioners who work with coloured lights, healers work with crystals and colour on the chakra system to rebalance the body’s energies. Aroma therapist will select and use the essential oils they feel are most appropriate and massage them into the body. However Aura-Soma practitioners ask the client to select from the whole range of coloured ‘Balance’ oils to bring the body, mind, and spirit back to a state of harmony.
Colour therapy is an enjoyable, low-risk form of complementary and alternative medicine. Its benefits are sometimes remarkably obvious: we feel calmed by our favourite cool colours and stimulated by bright, warm hues. The colours you surround yourself with will affect you deeply. Applying the carefully considered principles and psychology of Colour Therapy to your home or can benefit you and your loved ones in the long-term.
