4: Healing Properties of Color
As we saw in the last article relating color to the 7 chakras, color can be very healing. This week we’ll go into even greater depth, exploring the healing properties of color.
The key to understanding the healing properties of color is the vibratory ability of color to reroute the body’s subtle energies. These subtle energies flow through the body, continually materializing and then reverting back into energy. The rate of vibration determines the color and, the array of vibrations are harmonizing, neutralizing, or distorting each other, producing beneficial or detrimental effects on a person’s multi-dimensional body[1].
For every organ there is an energetic level at which the organ best functions. The healthy heart, for example, vibrates at a different rate than a healthy spleen. Any departure from that vibratory rate results in pathology; restoring the appropriate energy level (vibratory rate) results in healing.
Disease in a non-degenerative form is simply a blockage of vital energy in the organs, atoms, tissues or body systems. To clear the blockages is to restore health. Color as vibration, has been shown to be effective in clearing such blockages. This may in part be due to the resonance that various elements in the body have to color. The following chart gives the substances and their corresponding color resonance as registered by a Spectrogram Emission test[2].

- The violet end of the color spectrum is able to bleed off the excess energies. This is because violet light has a shorter wave length allowing for more rapid dispersing of energy.
- Red, at the other end of the spectrum, generally serves to stimulate the organ that is sluggish or nonfunctioning.
- Green, the center of the color spectrum has a neutralizing, balancing, and stabilizing effect.
- Blue has sedating effects

Color aspects of food (preferably organically grown and without additives) can help to balance and rejuvenate the system. Food colors have the same vibrational effect on our bodies as light therapy.
Filtered water stored in colored glass containers that are then set in direct sunlight to be charged for 3-4 hours can then be used in hydrochromatherapy. The advantages of water charged in this manner have a direct effect on the organs. Indigo-charged water calms nerves and digestion. Indigo followed by lemon-charged water is helpful in case of diarrhea. Lemon, yellow and orange-charged water has been used to overcome constipation:
Blue-charged water consumed prior to retiring sooths and relaxes the system, aiding sleep. Turquoise also quiets the lower GI track. In the case of diarrhea, indigo is recommended. Just as you might use hot-and-cold to treat and ailment, you can use a warm color (red, orange, yellow) followed by a cool-color (green-indigo or violet) application to ease symptoms, or visa versa. In severe cases, you always want to seek the advice of a licensed medical professional.
In the next article, we’ll take a look at how color therapy can be mixed with sound therapy.

- Yellow acts as a laxative
- Lemon detoxifies
- Orange activates potassium for acid/alkaline balance
