Color Therapy
It has been known for eons of time that color plays a major role in setting up a particular mood or state of mind. Color does affect one's feelings, moods, and emotions.
Colors are certain wavelengths of electro-magnetic energy seen through our eyes. The color we see is the part of the visible spectrum that is reflected back by a certain object.
We know that when all colors join the result is white light. Therefore working with White Light brings about completeness, oneness, union of all complementary parts.
Colors affect us in different ways: Color is one of the languages of the soul, just look at inspired or meditative paintings. They influence our mood and emotions. They have their impact on our sense of well-being or un-easiness. Using and avoiding certain colors is a way of self-expression; it sheds light on our personality. Colors affect our way of perception (light colors make a space look big, a high ceiling looks less high when painted in a dark color, etc.) Colors have a symbolic meaning which is immediately recognized by our subconsciousness. It must be said that not all colors mean the same to all persons and all cultures. They influence the flow and amount of energy in our bodies. Colors tell something about biological attraction and sexual availability.
Before examining color and its healing implications, we must address a very important concept: that of cause and effect. True healing comes about when the cause of the condition or illness is addressed and transformed. If healing goes no further than a mere relief or masking of the symptoms, then, eventually, that which brought about the need for healing, in the first place, will resurface and manifest itself within the body in one form or another.
Body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the soul (subconscious) , and the spirit (superconscious) of the individual. Thus, any healing technique which deals only with the physical

    The way humans see colour is from the visible light spectrum hitting an object, some of the light goes through some is absorbed and some bounces back. We see the colour of the visible light spectrum which bounces back. Light is absorbed when it hits an electron which has the correct band gap to become excited by the energy level of that specific light photon. When the energy level in the photon drops so that none of the band gaps cover it then it can either pass through and get absorbed by electrons further into the matter or it will be reflected back.…

    Walls Can Talk Analysis

    You walk in and you automatically look around to see if this is somewhere you would want to be. In the article “Walls Can Talk...but Are They Speaking to Teens?” the author Margaret Sullivan tells us that an environment can affect a person as soon as they enter a room or building and that environments can influence both our feelings and our actions. The color of a room can help to set a mood in the class. The color blue promotes a calm feeling and shows creativity and intelligence; yellow is cheerful and energetic and orange increases the oxygen supply to the brain and stimulates mental activity. Most classrooms you see will be white which promotes clean, pure and a sense of peacefulness. Colors have deep unconscious meanings that affect our thinking and rational. Researching colors and planning is a vital part of the design…

    The Giver Color Analysis

    • 753 Words
    • 4 Pages

    For starters, color could create emotion, which the creators did not want. According to The Giver text, it says, “‘We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with differences’” (95). Seeing color could make people feel emotions like happiness, passion, and love, but that’s not what the creators of the community wanted, so the relinquished it. They made the choice to go to sameness, which took away people’s ability to feel emotion. People thought they were feeling emotions like anger, but their minds were really tricking them into thinking that. Next, they did not want color because it showed people’s physical differences. For example, a person's skin tone. “‘There was a time, actually―you’ll see this in memories later―when flesh was many colors. That was before we went to Sameness,’” claims the novel The Giver. To them, seeing different skin tones, was showing a difference in physical features. Some people in the world have a lighter skin tone, which is most of the people, but there are some people that have a darker skin tone, and sometimes they are treated differently because of it. Which leads into the next reason. Color can show some people are better than others, like royalty. For example, someone who was poor might not have as nice of clothing as someone who was wealthier. The color purple can symbolize royalty, and can show wealth. Therefore, the…

    At least, the emphasizing of colors affects my feeling of the environment. The red color is a bright color which could catch people’s eyes. I believe that the poet William Carlos Williams was attracted by the colorful red wheelbarrow, and wrote this poem. The rain usually brings me some feelings about sad. But in this poem, the red wheelbarrow “glazed with rain water”. The word “glazed” brings more positive feeling of rain. I am no longer feel that rain is sad. Also, there is a contrast between red and white. The bright red and typically white, the stopping wheelbarrow and moving chicken make the whole environment vivid and…
