Colour Waves and Chromotherapy
Colour Waves and Chromotherapy
Wave frequency is related to wave energy. Since all that waves really are is traveling energy, the more energy in a
wave, the higher its frequency. The lower
the frequency is, the less energy in the
wave. Following the above examples,
gamma rays have very high energy and
radio waves are low-energy. When it
comes to light waves, violet is the
highest energy color and red is the
lowest energy color. Related to the
energy and frequency is the wavelength,
or the distance between corresponding
points on subsequent waves. You can
measure wavelength from peak to peak
or from trough to trough. Shorter waves
move faster and have more energy, and
longer waves travel more slowly and
have less energy.
Chromotherapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic radiation to cure
diseases. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to cure various diseases.
Every creature is engulfed in light that affects its health conditions. The human body, according to the doctrine of
chromotherapy, is basically composed of colors. The body comes into existence from colors, the body is stimulated by
colors. All organs and limbs of the body have their own distinct color. Organs, cells and atoms exist as energy, and each
form has its frequency or vibrational energy. Each of our
organs and energy centers vibrates and harmonizes with the
frequencies of these colors. When various parts of the body
deviate from these expected normal vibrations, one can
assume that the body is either diseased or at least not
functioning properly. The vibratory rates inherent in the
vibrational technique (chromotherapy) are such that they
balance the diseased energy pattern found in the body. For in
every organ there is an energetic level at which the organ
functions best. Any departure from that vibratory rate results
in pathology, whereas restoring the appropriate energy
levels to the physical organs results in healing.
Chromotherapy is a narrow band in the cosmic
electromagnetic energy spectrum, known to humankind as
the visible color spectrum. It is composed of reds, greens,
blues and their combined derivatives, producing the
perceivable colors that fall between the ultraviolet and the
infrared ranges of energy or vibrations. These visual colors
with their unique wavelength and oscillations, when
combined with a light source and selectively applied to impaired organs or life systems, provide the necessary healing
energy required by the body. Light affects both the physical and etheric bodies. Colors generate electrical impulses and
magnetic currents or fields of energy that are prime activators of the biochemical and hormonal processes in the human
body, the stimulants or sedatives necessary to balance the entire system and its organs
Different researches have been done on this subject, Klotsche (1993) discussed some useful points about chromotherapy
as he practiced it, and he found it to be a complete therapeutic system for 123 major illnesses. He used single colors and
also combinations of two or more colors for therapy and different techniques, namely, direct exposure and
hydrochromopathy. He correlated the concepts of color healing with Einstein's mass–energy relationship, which seems
quite accurate in terms of the concept of an energy field around the human body.
Physiologically, affective responses of subjects revealed that warm colors were useful in arousing those troubled with
reactive depression or neurasthenia. They increased muscle tone or blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Cool
colors elicited the reverse affective responses in all of the same tests. Anxious subjects were actually calmed by these
cooler colors, from the viewpoint of clinical psychology. This is an important finding in Gerard's (1970) work, as it reveals
that cool colors can be effective as a tranquilizer in cases of tension and anxiety.
