Colour and wavelengths THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM


The narrow band of energy that our eyes can see fits roughly into the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum. Reds have the longest wavelengths, violets have the shortest wavelengths. People who spend a great deal of their time in artificial lighting, which does not emit the same balance of colour as sunlight, are depriving themselves of the healthy wavelengths they need for their wellbeing. Although they can see sufficiently well they may soon start to suffer from a deficiency of natural light.


At its worst people can suffer from a conditioned known as S. A. D. - Seasonal Affective Disorder - which is a depression possibly brought on by lack of sunlight during winter. An excess of inadequate artificial lighting can bring on similar symptoms. This, unfortunately, is the situation in many office buildings and places of work.


During childhood, colour associations contribute to our understanding of the world around us. As we grow we attach feelings, memories, and meanings to our experiences of colour. The association of particular colours with a sad, happy or other emotional response builds up our colour preferences. This means that we may be avoiding colours which have unhappy associations for us and in doing so we are missing out on the valuable energies they supply.


A Colour therapy session involves an in-depth consultation and colour personality assessment to help identify any colour(s) that might be missing from a person’s life, meditation and use of coloured lamps, and crystals to help bring about balance and healing.


Colour reflexology is sometimes used on specific health problem areas identified to be caused by the lack of a particular colour vibration. Colour therapy is a skilled method of healing which enhances health and encourages renewed life balance and harmony.


The session usually lasts about 1 hour, costs £30 and is relaxing, enlightening and enjoyable.
