Color Therapy, different healing colours for health and wellbeing

color therapyEach of the colours has a different effect on the body, yet they are all interrelated. They all work together to relieve, cleanse, build and heal. There are no dangerous side effects at any time. Only a normal condition can occur regardless of the length of exposure time on the body, face, or eyes. Since the colour works through the aura to make the changes, only the amount necessary will ever be accepted; as with a pail of water, only the full amount will be accepted and the rest will overflow. (The bulb used is not a heat lamp; it is the colour, not the heat, that does the healing).
If the process of loosening and eliminating the toxins occurs very rapidly, one might feel upset. It is not necessary to stop as no danger is being done. If acute or dizzy conditions develop, turquoise may be used for temporary relief.

Each application of colour should be for one hour or more; wait for two hours or more before the next one. Emergency treatments may be taken at any time; day or night, to obtain desired relief. With the possible exception of severe burns, generally speaking, it is needless to continue exposure for several hours at one time. It is always best to stay with about one hour on and two hours or more off. Give the body a chance to make necessary changes. Continued exposure of hours can possibly stir up more toxins that the eliminative organs can handle at the moment due to the weakened condition or being overworked. It won't cause harm but could cause discomfort. Even with burns long hours are not necessary after the pain leaves.
For most conditions you will be using the warm colours but the cold colours also have many benefits and can be used from time to time just to relax, tone and condition various organs and nerves.

Treatments may be taken at any time before eating, but wait for two hours or more after a meal. If indigestion occurs, however, yellow may be used at that time. The colour has the maximum benefit if applied to the nude body. A cover of a white sheet has lesser effects. Normal light in the room will not interfere with the effect of the colour, but do not use in the direct sunlight or other strong lights. It will dissipate the strength of the colour. Have the room warm enough to prevent a chill. Since it is the effect of the colour and not the heat, the lamp may be four to eight feet away from the body. It is best to be in a reclining position or sitting. The swivel on the lamp allows proper exposure on different areas. The base has a small hole in the hook that is suitable for a hook on the wall.

General Directions for the use of colour as taken from the book "Healing for the Age of Enlightenment", by Stanley Burroughs.

Use of the twelve colours:

Red

The longest wavelength in the spectrum in the visible spectrum is the colour red. It is the lowest rate of vibration of the visible spectrum.

It is an outgoing vibration related to aggressiveness, and of glandular. It is a very exciting colour. A strong clear red in the aura indicates force, vigour, and energy. It is also the colour of warmth, love, and tenderness. Treating with this colour stimulates the automatic nervous and circulatory systems. A clear dark red is a sensual colour. High-pressure salesmanship is predominantly red. It is an irritant and excitant.

A dark and cloudy red indicates high temper and nervous turmoil. A light thin red aura indicates a nervous, impulsive, and self-centred person with very little reserve of nervous energy. Man evolves from the low gross colour of red through the entire colour spectrum to the highest of colours, violet.

Red projected on the body:

  • Stimulates and builds the liver.
  • Builds the red corpuscles in the liver which are stored in the bone.
  • It is a postulant - draws poisons to a head on the surface to be eliminated.

The negative aspect of red is an aggressive warlike attitude and instability with a very strong sex drive.

Orange

Orange is the colour of success. Projected on the body it contributes to the following:

  • Helps you expand your interests and activities.
  • Gives life and healing with its increase in oxygen by stimulation of the lungs and thyroid glands.
  • It depresses the parathyroid glands.
  • It stimulates the production of milk in the mammary glands. This eliminates the need for animal milks and artificial formulas. Nothing can compare with mother's milk if she is eating the correct foods.
  • Causes vomiting or stimulates action in the opposite direction in case of indigestion.
  • Relieves gas in the digestive system; alleviates convulsions and cramps in all parts of the body. It is most effective for hiccups.
  • Increase all kinds of discharges and elimination's.
  • Decreases menstrual cramps and increases discharges.
  • It is a postulant; drawing boils, carbuncles, and abscesses to a head.
  • It is a lung builder and respiratory stimulant. It heals all lung disorders.

Most spices come under the orange colour and may be used sparingly in the diet. They contain many trace elements that may be lacking in other foods. Black and white pepper must not be used at any time as they contain a form of cumulative poison. Other spices act as a mild laxative and stimulant for the digestive tract.

Yellow

Yellow is a creative colour. It brings the following benefits:

  • Stimulating, activating, endless energy and building of the motivating actions in the body.
  • Creates self-confidence and courage.
  • Depresses the spleen and the parathyroid gland.
  • Increases the appetite. Aids in better assimilation for better nutrition.
  • Stimulates the lymphatic glands.
  • Acts as a motivating action for all kinds or paralysis such as in strokes or sluggish organs.
  • Is a nerve stimulant and builder.
  • Stimulates and strengthens the heart for better circulation.
  • Stimulates the liver and gall bladder, aiding in better eliminations.
  • Destroys body worms and drives them out of the body. Worms and insects shy away from the yellow.
  • Stimulates and builds the pancreas for better control of the sugar balance.
  • Stimulates and builds the eyes and ears.
  • Loosens and aids in elimination of calcium and lime deposits that cause arthritis, neuritis, and similar conditions.

Yellow is a most inspiring condition.

Lemon

Lemon has more elements than any other colour. Projected on the body:

  • It is a chronic alternative - loosening, relaxing and stimulating the eliminative process.
  • Its phosphorus stimulates and builds the brain for clearer and more positive thinking.
  • Loosens and eliminates mucus throughout the entire body.
  • Activates and loosens congestion in the colon for better elimination.
  • Loosens and dissolves calcium and lime deposits.
  • Activates the thymus gland for better and more rapid growth in retarded children.
  • Is a bone builder. It heals broken bones faster and hardens soft bones.
  • Is extremely effective for loosening and eliminating the common cold.
  • The lemon fruit is the best of all foods to loosen and cleanse. It contains all the elements in the lemon colour plus much more.
  • Is a soothing colour because it relieves tension.

Green

Green is the master colour. It is the fulcrum of the primary colours and stands out as the key to prepare the body for more effective results from other colours.

  • It stimulates the pituitary, the master gland.
  • Is a vibrant colour of life and growth - the most predominating colour in the life force of our planet.
  • Is crisp, cool, and fresh cleansing in nature.
  • Has the universal appeal to the sense of balance and normality.
  • Raises the vibrations of the body above the vibrations of disease - a form of immunity from all disease.
  • Destroys and heals all infections. Hospitals find less infections when green is present.

Is the colour - destroying rotting and building cells and tissues. This is nitrogen, the substance of protein, and the builder of muscles. Animal proteins are highly toxic and destructive. They have no place in creative nutrition.

Many elements needed by the body are absorbed from the air through the lungs. It is recognized that oxygen and hydrogen are taken from the air, but few realize that nitrogen is also taken from the air and used as a protein builder. Breathing fresh air and eating of fresh vegetables eliminates completely any possible need for any of the animal forms of food.

Smoking prevents the lungs from utilizing the nitrogen from the air. Heavy smokers have a craving for toxic animal proteins. Plants obtain a great percentage of their nitrogen from the air also.

Green is the basic colour for all disorders of either chronic or acute conditions. Start all schedules with one or more green exposures. Many conditions may be cleared up with green alone.

Green dissolves blood clots in any part of the body or head. It takes less than an hour to accomplish this. There is nothing in medicine that works so fast. The chemicals used for this purpose have many dangerous side effects. There are no side effects from the use of green.

The main colour used for cancer is green. Cancer feeds on waste and rotting conditions within the body. When these wastes are removed from the body, the cancer cannot feed on healthy tissue, so it breaks up and passes out of the body - absolutely harmlessly. The fear of cancer is greatly exaggerated. The fear of cancer kills more people than the cancer itself. A clean, healthy body will never produce any form of cancer.

The use of green on open sores, cuts, bruises and damaged flesh is truly wonderful. Use green for burns in connection with turquoise to build muscle and tissue, and to build new skin without scars.

Turquoise

Turquoise is an acute alternative for all sudden pains and aches. Use turquoise after the green for all infections.

Use turquoise for skin building when damaged by any degree of burns, scratches, sores, and infections. Pain from burns is usually gone within one hour. The complete healing of third degree burns occurs in less than three weeks without a trace of a scar. Use coconut oil on the burned area to keep it soft.

All fevers regardless of the name are caused by the same thing and respond quickly - usually in one hour. It is a tonic, quickly reviving conditions of fatigue poisons. Work, play and exercise produce these poisons as the cells and tissues are broken down, making one feel tired. Turquoise is very cooling and relaxing - especially for headaches and pressures. It is for irritations, inflammations, and itching.

It is a mental or brain depressant - especially good for sleeping. Use instead of sleeping pills - a mild sedative with no side effects.

Blue

The oxygen in blue unites or intercepts the hydrogen in red to increase perspiration, as a fever is broken.

It is a vitality builder - the oxygen neutralizes the fatigue poisons for a more relaxed and calming condition.

Blue is the colour of the pineal gland, the colour of the spirit. A strong, deep blue in the aura indicates anaemia.

Blue is a creative force.

  • It produces a peaceful effect for sounder sleep.
  • It relieves itching and irritations.
  • It relieves all fevers and burns, just slightly stronger than the turquoise - to be used after the turquoise if fever still persists.

Indigo

Indigo depresses the thyroid and at the same time stimulates the parathyroid.

It is an analgesic - giving relief especially to pain form extreme swelling. Actually reduces swelling as well as relieving the pain.

  • It is a very strong sedative.
  • Stops haemorrhages and nosebleeds.
  • Stops internal bleeding into the tissues and organs.

It is an astringent - tightening, firming, and toning the flesh, skin and nerves. (Women particularly enjoy its effect of firming the skin.)

As an antibiotic, it equals or surpasses any of the manufactured products on the market with no harmful side effects. The body never becomes allergic or intolerant to its antiseptic action.

Has a narcotic effect - produces a strong, deep sleep. Upon awakening, there are no hangovers or drug-like effects. Instead, one feels alive, alert, and refreshed.

Depress the heart; shrinks an enlarged heart.

Violet

Violet has the shortest wavelength of the visible colours.

A motor depressant - depressing all over-active parts of the body except the spleen and the parathyroid.

  • It is a spiritual colour.
  • Relaxes, calms, and depressed the nerves, as in over excitable people.
  • It is also an antibiotic, building organism that destroys harmful organisms.
  • As a splenetic stimulant it builds the white corpuscles in the spleen.
  • The spleen produces vitamin D. As the blood passes through the spleen to the heart, a final cleansing takes place to remove any harmful poison or bad cells.

Magenta

Magenta balances the emotions. It is soothing and relaxing both to over-emotional and under-emotional conditions.

  • Stimulates and builds the heart.
