About Colour Therapy

The healing power of colour

   Although there are many affective forms of therapy in existence, colour therapy has and is being used more and more by society.  Because the vibrations have been measured and recorded by scientists  there is a validity of the energy

available from colour.

    There are obviously many ways of using colour effectively, whether to alter moods generally, to harmonise buildings or to heal specific problems etc.

    What is colour?

    Colour is fragmented light and part of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, just as are radio and TV waves, microwaves, infra-red and ultraviolet rays.  What we perceive as colour is only a very small proportion of this spectrum but each of the rainbow colours has a measured and scientifically recorded band of vibration. The rainbow of colours we know as visible light has a wavelength band between  400 and 700 billionths of a meter.

The Rainbow

   There have been many debates and discussions in the past regarding whether the  rainbow is made  up of 6 or 7 colours.  Isaac Newton in the 17th century perceived  that there were 7 colours but  Goethe in the 18th century identified 6 colours.

HOW AND WHY COLOUR EFFECTS US

    If we look at colour not just visually as most people do everyday, but as energy,  we begin to have a better understanding.  We are made up of energy, vibrating at different rates.  Our physical body is just energy in form,  which we can physically see and touch but our energy field  is much bigger.  All of us are attracted to the energy we need and just as we need to eat food when we are hungry, we automatically absorb the energies we need from other sources.

    By applying the colour energies that we are drawn to, we are absorbing or ‘eating’ the energy ‘food’  needed to balance  our  selves and create  well being    

    However, because of the knowledge attached to each colour vibration we are able to understand why we have imbalances and therefore look deeply at ourselves, our lives and what surrounds us.

    As stated previously we work with  colour information relating to the mind and consciousness or 'inner self'.

Very  briefly  just to give a 'taste' of what the rainbow colours mean, here’s an overview about each colour:


Red   
relates to power and our physical health and body, life, work, money, foundations and our  energy and drive to live. We need red  when we feel exhausted, frustrated, impatient, angry, hurt jealous and keep pushing ourselves too hard


Orange   
relates to being practical, creative, having vitality and  humour and leadership qualities.

    We need orange when we are out of  alignment, have experienced shock or trauma, or want to  release our buried emotions or feel others are manipulating us.             


Yellow   
relates to happiness, clarity of thought and comprehension. It relates to having confidence, understanding, and perception. We are attracted to yellow when we are sad, confused, lack self  responsibility, are fearful, anxious and nervous.              


Green   
This is about truth and freedom to be our real self. Being balanced and open

    hearted and in tune with nature. We need green when we feel trapped and restricted from   expressing our real self, when we need time and space and when we feel envious.


Blue      
This relates to absorbing knowledge and information from all sources. Consciousness,     feelings, trust, discipline, boundaries and patterns of existence relate to blue. When we are rigid     and have limited thinking and find it hard to make decisions, and feel down and 'blue', we need blue!              


Violet    
This is about healing, change and  transformation.  When we need to be motivated or  are single minded.   We need violet when we want to know  answers about life and our purpose,  when we have mood swings and cannot sleep.              

If you are interested in learning about colour, I teach a variety of classes on this topic.

2009 by the numbers works out to a 'Eleven master year so make wise decisions, which breaks down to a two, time to share and suppoert everyone you connect with.one year' which means new beginnings and starts, also good year to set some commonsense GOALS for the next 9 years.

More good fortune: add red in your home decor, accessories and dress

It may require a great deal of effort this year to resist going off on wild goose chases. Refrain from making speculative ventures. Disappointments and conflicts will result. The OX likes to flaunt his authority and a lot of trouble can come from his domineering attitude. But since he also symbolizes the good administrator and conscientious overseer of justice in the barnyard, the peace will be kept. Everything will be precariously balanced in the Rooster's year, as his dramatic personality can set off all kinds of petty disputes.

This year we may have to expend maximum gain. Try not to fuss too much. Details do need looking into, but don't forget to view the whole picture. Be cautious. Do not aim too high. One is liable to get shot down.

Politics will adhere to hard-line policies. The diplomatic scene will be dominated by Philosophical orators who rave a lot about nothing (nothing new -ha) Governments will be found flexing their muscles at each other, but just for show. There may be no real confrontations. It is just that everyone will be too occupied with himself to hear or care what the other person is saying. The self-conscious influence of the Rooter will cause us to take offense at the smallest slight. We will tend to be terribly ostentatious about the splendid image we think we project. Dissensions and debates on all fronts will signify the Rooster's pen-chant for argumentative exercises and will not be likely to do permanent damage to anyone when taken in the right context.

 

Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut and check facts and figures before making unprecedented moves. We should all get by without too much hardship. Our pockets will not be empty although our nerves may be a bit frayed. So eat a balanced diet and do lots of walking and singing/chanting. Have a wonderful year! It is up to us how we react to the challenges life gives us. So go for it, I wish you all the best for 2009/10

Testimonial – Kelowna Bank Manager

At a silent auction of a business function I attended, I saw Jollean's Book and a Gift Certificate for a free consultation in Feng Shui.  I bid on it and won.  Having moved to Kelowna from Vancouver with my Bank, I of course was very familiar with Feng Shui.  Our Branch was going through renovations and upon completion I invited Jollean to the branch.  Even though we were restricted on making any color changes, she gave us suggestions to work with what we had.  Most of my staff was not familiar with Feng Shui and I think they actually thought I was a little "out there", but they quickly became interested in what Jollean had to say.  We now have wind chimes and crystals around the branch.

Following Jollean's suggestions, I made some minor changes in my office and I continue to get comments from my clients about how comfortable my office is.  One of my new staff had a small water feature in her office and was hesitant to turn it on.  The very day she finally decided to plug it in, she landed a very valuable new client!  She never unplugged it for the whole time she was at our branch!  One of my CSRs was suffering from headaches, so I gave her a rose quartz stone to place at the base of her terminal and the headaches are gone.

I have personally attended one of Jollean's workshops on Feng Shui in order to apply the Feng Shui principals in my home as well
