Chromotherapy

By yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru

At first glance, healing with colors seems the subject of a sci-fi movie. And yet, this is the reality. Pains caused by arthritis can be diminished to the maximum by irradiating the back of the neck with a red colored light, for 20 minutes. With a “relatively” similar recipe one can treat burns, asthma, cellulite, the injuries from a traumatism, hemorrhoid crisis, the state of irritability, psychic depression, etc. Therapy with the help of colors is a simple treatment method (all it takes is a lamp and a colored filter), it is natural, efficient and very revolutionary. The French doctor Christian Agrapart says: “It is a form of energetic medicine, based on directing to the ill or painful area a colored ray of light, according to the affection. Each color stimulates the rehabilitation of the energetic balance in the affected area. The colored ray does not act through its power of penetration, but through its ability to integrate itself into the body’s defense mechanism. It does not aggress the body, as it is the case with medicines, but rather it induces a greater ability to fight a disease (a reaction)”.

Chromotherapists can already bring many healing cases as a proof, but it can be used successfully also in everyday life. Do you know, for example, that if you are a person who often goes through depressive states, you should wear as often as possible red colored clothes, in order to make these ridiculous states disappear? But, if you have digestion problems, it will be very good to prefer the use of yellow in your outfits. Green will be extremely useful if you wish to remove insomnia without sleeping pills. By applying any of these recommendations, you will spontaneously make use of one of the most ancient medical practices: color therapy or Chromotherapy. The symbols of colors have been known since the most ancient times and the significance of most colors has remained unchanged.

In Ancient Egypt, the famous God Thot was the master of colors and he used them one by one or in a fascinating combination, in order to awaken, amplify or maintain the latent spiritual abilities in most ignorant and narrow minded human beings. Through the Yellow color, Goddess Isis awoke and amplified the spiritual abilities of a human being. But, the vital force of action was developed by the Red color of God Osiris.

In our case, ultraviolets needed a complete scientific confirmation. The Greeks and the Romans had discovered and used ultraviolets long before we did and they used them with an extraordinary efficiency. At a careful analysis, this was only a particular form of color therapy.

In their diagnosis, the Chinese have used and still use the certain indications connected to color (color of skin, eyes, tongue, etc.)

Cromo-therapyIndians have fully contributed to the discovery and spreading of the most important natural therapies. In this way, from the Indians we have inherited certain perfectly natural and famous therapy methods, many of which often use medical herbs, vegetables, fruits, cereals, diet, massages, certain procedures for inner cleansing, controlled and focused breathing, different contractions done at the level of certain bodily areas, various physical postures meant to determine both the therapeutic effects as well as certain spiritual states and… even colors.

Due to the Indians, who practiced various Yoga techniques, it was possible to find out for the first time and to establish precisely the intimate relationships between the different colors and the seven essential centers of the human body which, in yogi tradition, are called chakras or secret foci of the subtle macrocosmic energies, existing in the being, through which an unsuspected range of paranormal phenomena becomes possible.

When they are well dynamized, these main chakras act in unison and accumulate luminous subtle energies, of different colors, which then they modify according to the specific of the being, distributing them in our inner universe. At the same time, by resonance, they put into action the plexus of each chakra. Therefore, it is obvious that each of the seven chakras has a predominant correspondent in one of the seven basic colors of the white light spectrum, decomposed through a transparent prism.
