What is Color Therapy?

Color therapy is a form of holistic healing that has been used for thousands of years to treat physical and emotional issues. Also known as chromotherapy, color therapy is regaining popularity today. According to ayurveda, the 5,000 year old traditional medicine of India, every color has certain healing energies. By using color therapy techniques when you are decorating your home or office, you bring those healing energies into your space and enhance or diminish certain qualities.

Color therapy is based on the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. According to ayurveda, there are also seven energy centers in the body, each on e associated with one of the colors. If a person’s chakra is weak or out of balance, the color associated with it will help strengthen it.

The following 7 posts of an 8-post series titled “What Is Color Therapy” will take a deeper look at each of the colors, what chakra it is associated with and how you can use it to help make decorating decisions.   

This information is meant to help you learn about color therapy, not as medical advice. This ancient practice has experienced a resurgence of interest, so I thought you might like to better understand its theory. Why not try it out in at least one room in your home and see if you can experience the benefits of color therapy for yourself?
