Simple Ways to Wellness. Louise Taylor
1930s, is used to photograph the energy field surrounding the human body. This photography captures a beautiful imprint of the body's energy pattern (often done in color), which can indicate the condition of the body as a whole, or conditions of specific parts of the body.
SPECIFIC COLOR VIBRATIONS FOR SPECIFIC BODY AREAS
Each color represents energy vibrating in a specific manner, and each color also has individual qualities that make it different from any other. Just as each color looks different from any other color, it represents energy that acts in a unique manner.
Through the use of various color therapies it is possible to infuse the body or an area on the body with a specific color or a precise energy that is appropriate for it and will correct the energy vibration that is resulting because of body imbalance. Therefore, when you use corrective color therapy, you can alleviate symptoms of disease and stress in the energy system.
HOW TO USE COLOR THERAPY
There are many techniques of color therapy that have been known for centuries as well as some that are relatively new because of modern technology. Four practical techniques are presented here, which you can use at home with simple equipment. There are two basic approaches to color therapy. The first one uses outside sources of energy through colored lights or filters. The second uses your mind or breath as the generator of a specific color energy.
COLORED LIGHTS AND FILTERS
Using Direct Light
Transparent colored light bulbs are available in any large supermarket or lighting store. They usually come in red, green, yellow, and blue. The bulb can be screwed into a regular lamp, or you may wish to use a reflector lamp, which can be purchased from your local hardware store. Reflector lamps further enhance the strength of the color you are using. If you need other colors than these four, you will need to combine the colored light bulb with a filter (described in the paragraph below). The light from colored light bulbs should be directed toward your body from a distance of about three to five inches.
Colored filters can be made from pieces of glass or plastic. You can buy plastic filters, which are sometimes called "gels." This material is available in most art stores. You can also use any piece of transparent colored glass, plastic, or cellophane from around the house. The colored filters will need a light source behind them. You can sit so that the sun shines through the filter, or you can shine an artificial light through the filter and onto the body. The filters can also be held close to the body at a range of three to five inches.
Whether you use colored light bulbs or any type of filter, the light can be shone on the body at the area of need or shone on your face for general diffusion of energy throughout your body. In most cases, light therapy is used for about twenty minutes in any one session. If the colored light is used for more than thirty minutes in one session, it will have the effect of overstimulating or oversedating the body's energy fields. This can result in nervousness or depression. It is far better to repeat the color therapy session each hour for a maximum of twenty minutes each time, rather than overdoing it in one sitting. In part 2 you will find more specific details for each symptom.
Color Infused Water
Infusing the vibrations of various colors into water is a powerful technique. It is simple to do, and can be used by itself for healing. It is also an excellent adjunct to other techniques given in this book.
How to prepare and use infused water:
1 Fill a clear or specifically colored glass with clear spring water.
2 Place it where the sun will shine through the colored glass or through a filter in front of a clear glass.
3 If you use an artificial light, direct it through the glass at a close range of two or three inches.
4 Keep the light source shining through the water for one hour.
5 When it is ready, sip the water slowly, letting each sip stay in your mouth for a few seconds.
6 Repeat the process as directed for each condition in part 2 of this book.
Several doses of infused water may be prepared at once and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. The vibrations will remain in the water for several days.
COLOR AND THE USE OF MIND AND BREATH
Visualizing Color
Visualization is a technique that has been used successfully for centuries and is extremely popular in some of today's conventional healing modalities. When you add color to your visualization, it becomes an even more powerful tool.
When you envision color, there is a vibration sent to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the activating source that alters the body's vibrations and allows it to heal. It identifies the vibration of energy that you desire for healing through the color that you visualize. Through your visualization you direct a particular energy to be sent to correct unbalanced bioelectric energy in the unhealthy part of your body.
Visualization of color is sometimes difficult. You may need to find an object of the color you want or use the color guide provided on the back flap of this book. Concentrate on it to help you focus during your visualization. This method of color therapy is especially powerful if it is repeated several times a day or as directed in part 2.
Breathing in Color Vibrations
There is a very simple technique you can use for breathing color vibrations for healing:
1 Imagine that you are holding a very beautiful rose of a specific color.
2 Take a deep breath as if taking in the fragrance of the rose.
3 When you do this, imagine that the breath brings with it all of the color of the rose, leaving the rose clear like glass.
4 Breathe this color into the lower part of your abdomen. This is the area of the body where energy is generated and magnified.
5 As you exhale, envision the color moving from the lower abdomen, into the body area that needs the benefit of the energy vibrations represented by that particular color.
6 Repeat this breathing process three times.
7 Follow the three breaths of a specific color with one breath using white, which is the universal color containing the entire spectrum of colors.
8 As you exhale, allow the vibrations of the white energy to disperse throughout your entire body. This has a general energy balancing effect.
Repeat this breathing process as directed for different symptoms. It is a wonderful tool to incorporate with other techniques such as acupressure or visualization.
When body disorders develop, the vibratory rate that is normal for that area has been altered. It can be corrected through any of the color techniques discussed above. Remember, when you apply color the vibrations of the body correct themselves and the body can return to a state of health.
Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements of health and well-being that can be used to set energy into action. They can be used to influence all of your needs and desires, but they are especially helpful when you want to heal yourself. They send patterns of thought to the subconscious mind for new behavior by sending new directions for action. This is similar to placing a new message over the old message on a cassette tape. Your subconscious mind, now having a different set of orders, begins to set up new reactions and produces new body conditions accordingly.
I, ME, OR MINE
Affirmations should be stated with yourself in mind. They can be started with "I" at the beginning, such as "I am healthy." They can also be stated with "me" at the end; "Health comes to me." Another way to include yourself in the affirmation is to use the word "mine," such as "Health
