“What do you see when you look around?”

Barbara McGregor editor Wellbeing journal, (2005) says, “everywhere I look I see black. Black in the streets, black in the office, black in restaurants, cinemas and private celebrations. Have we turned into a nation of mourners, burying the 20th century? ( a lot of black is still being worn) Non-conformists”, she says, “arise and unite under the rainbow banner” This is the story of the Rainbow Banner:

BRILLIANCE “I AM WHOLE”

WHITE “I AM INNOCENT AND PURE”

RED “I AM COURAGEOUS”

ORANGE “I AM AWARE”

YELLOW “I KNOW”

GREEN “I AM OPEN – HEARTED”

BLUE “I EXPLAIN MY FEELINGS”

INDIGO “I SEE CLEARLY”

VIOLET “I AM PEACEFUL, PROTECTED AND KIND”

PINK “I AM LOVABLE AND LOVING”

GOLD “I AM VALUABLE”

SILVER “I AM SUREFOOTED”

Colours bridge the gap from:
• Brain to heart
• heaven to earth and back to heaven
• the inner to the outer
• darkness to light
Each colour has its own precise meaning, both negative and positive. This knowledge can be traced back to the Egyptians and Greek cultures. They built tall 8 sided towers and each side had a glass pane in one of the rainbow colours. The physician would prescribe a certain colour for a certain length of time and the patient was laid in the colour specific chamber. When the sun shone through the coloured pane of glass, the light beam shone on the patients body so healing the ailment. For example, stomach problems need the colour yellow followed by a touch of purple. This is called heliotopic therapy.

I have discovered that colour is important because our body cells are spheres of variegated colour forming a shimmering energy field. Did you realize that we were conceived in colour and that body cells communicate to each other in a colour coded language forming a beautiful network of vitality.

CHAKRA SYSTEM OF COLOUR
A major section of this netwok is called the “Chakra System” Chakras are anchored along the central nervous system and rotate in a horizontal circular pattern in specific colour vibrations. Our eyes and skin absorb cosmic energy from the sunLIGHT and direct it to each chakra , which is a centre of vitality. There are 8 main chakra zones and each Chakra is connected to specific organs, glands, blood circuits and nervous systems. Chakras are doorways of colour healing.

MERIDIAN SYSTEM OF COLOUR
Life energy is also distributed through another network called the meridian system which flows in a vertical pattern from head to toes. Each meridian has its own colour vibration. Energy is drawn into the meridians from the atmosphere, disperses throughout cellular structures then leaves our body to form a colourful blanket called the aura.

AURIC SYSTEM OF COLOUR
The aura is an electromagnetic field traveling in radiating waves at a similar speed to light. The aura surrounds our body externally in a glorious array of the rainbow colours up and even beyond our fingertips. Colour takes nourishment to the mind which responds on many levels of consciousness.

BODY CONTROLLED BY MIND
Our minds are very precious but there are many influences trying to claim our minds one way or another. But there’s hope: colour heals brain function. Colour integrates neurological pathways to restore efficient functioning. Simply stated the three main sections of the brain are: the Reptilian brain upon which exists the Limbic Brain and the topmost layer is the neocortex or Intellectual Brain. Recent research has revealed that the cause of certain diseases and unnatural behaviours is a result of brain structure not being compatible with its brain chemistry. We have all seen the results on such individuals and their families and friends. Our society is at a loss what to do. Physically the brain gains its nutrition from glycogen. Energetically however the brain gains its power from electricity - electricity is light and light is colour. Our brain is an electro-magnetic machine and sends powerful impulses along its neurological pathways. These impulses look like little multi coloured puff balls that explode in incredibly beautiful and fascinating way as they impart their energy!!

Now, colour affects brain function by bringing into balance the fluctuations of the electro-magnetic fields of the brain. The photonic polarities can be described as yin and yang. Imbalances in these polarities express sickness, depression, cancers and so on. Balance expresses vitality and wellness.

HOW DOES COLOUR HEAL?
Colour heals on a physical level and also on a metaphysical level:

Physical Level
Colour is light. Light is a broad beam of electrical particles. When refracted through a prism, a ‘white’ light beam emerges as colourful rainbow sub-beams. Each colour has its own electrical frequency. Red vibrates at 480 MHz (cycles per second) and violet at the other end of the spectrum is a much higher frequency of 680MHz. The remaining colours range between these two speeds. These frequencies are electromagnetic in nature and resonate with our own inner electro-magnetic patterns bringing clarity to the mind, wellness to the body and fulfillment to the heart.

Metaphysical Level
It reveals truths hidden in the subconscious
It brings creativity
It heals because it is energetic light
It expresses infinite love.

We all know that love heals. It is the greatest healer. Love restores the spirit of life bringing those gifts listed at the beginning of this article. Love brings changes and awareness to a “new way of Being.” Love makes us alive. It brings us to life. Imagine my excitement and awe when I discovered that colour heals because it is the embodiment of various facets of love. The most sublime colour is called ‘Brilliance.” Brilliant light contains all colours and symbolises love.

Some frequently reoccurring illnesses that may be helped with colour healing include: brain chemistry, DNA stressors, discernment between physical and non-physical realities, unnatural behaviours, extreme negativity in outlook, obsessions – feeling ‘haunted’, autism, Aspergers and other mental conditions, physical ailments because they have their origin in emotional ailments, relationship difficulties, learning problems, work related stress, addictions, phobias, lack of direction, purpose and motivation.

SUMMING UP
The cells of our body came into being through a colourful firework at the moment of conception. The cells of our body zones exist in bands of colour and vibrate to that colour. Colour is essential food for the cells of our body. In order to keep the cells of our body alive and well, we need to consume colour. Colour is absorbed into the body mainly through the eyes by looking at colour. Colour is also transmitted to the cells of the body through the skin. The colours we wear make a huge impact on our feeling well and energetic. Artistic endeavours enable us to focus on colours, particularly the ones we need.
Colour integrates the brain, the driving force of our body.
Colour brings harmony to our heart
Colour brings peace of mind

Colour brings beneficial changes, Colour heals with love. I believe that colours equip to be filled with the Spirit of Life and to impart to self and others “a new way of being”
