It is not a cult or fad,recently invented /discovered.It was used effectively in Golden Age of
Greece and in age of Mahabharat,Healing temple of light and colour of the Heliopolis in ancient
Egypt and again it was reversed in ancient civilsation of india and china.Through out the ages
there was always been the employment of the colour wisdom to establish poise and harmony to
soothe and sustain to heal and to restore and to create anew.They were all expression of the urge
in the One Divine Creative principle in Light Waves.Colour is therefore a divine force nothing

In colour healing white sunlight is used in all its spectrum of colour wave length to run the motor
organs of the human machine effectively,not alone to restore the physical body,but to tone and
refresh the mind,body and spirit.Thus the colour healing is a divine science called as Chromo
therapy.
Colour has the beautiful and purposeful mission of alleviating classed of disease not with the
patch work substitute of drugs,but with the pristine power of light which works on all levels of
our being.
Truly it is very largely due to our general inabilitry to illuminate our lives emotionally mentally
and spiritually that we have loss of tone or disease physically.
We might put it that such people have misty spots in their consciousness which becloud their
inner sun,the sunlight of their souls ( Soul meaning SOL or SUN ).There are Seven Major
centres in the body each have their own particular rate of vibration and absorb from the food we
eat, the thoughts we think, the emotions we harbours certain qualities or vibration whose rate of
frequency is the identical respectively with each of the seven colours of the spectrum.
What is Chromo Therapy ?
Chromo therapy is a simple method of healing through the simple and effective use of colour.
According to Dr.P Mishra and Dr.Beena Mishra,Chromo therapy is a natural means by which
one cannot only preserve the health increase the energy but also cure disease- both on a physical
and mental plane in accordance with Nature Law of Healing.
Chromotherapy is a therapy that has the ability to alter the emotions and physiological and
psychological conditions.
Today, there are many practitioners who use color and light in interesting ways. Some therapists
have a box with a mechanism that flickers light into the eyes. They report success in speeding the
recovery of stroke victims and those persons who experience chronic depression.
Some healers recommend the wearing of eyeglasses with colored lenses. Practitioners of Feng
Shui bring color into our homes and workplaces for optimum balance of energy.
Dr. Peter Mandel, a German acupuncturist developed a system to apply color and light to
acupuncture points on the body. Colorpuncture is now being taught in many countries. In the
United States, color and light therapy is beginning to be recognized as a complimentary system
to other treatments.
CNN recently announced that researchers at Cornell University discovered that applying blue
light to the backs of the knees resets the body’s internal clock, eliminating jet lag and the sleep
disturbances that accompany shift work.
Why it Works:
The earth, the oceans, in fact every living thing, is dependent upon light for its very existence. A
recent scientific study disclosed that each cell in the body emits light. We live in a sea of energy
and our bodies are composed of energy. Color works through and in us, in every nerve, cell,
gland and muscle. It shines in our auras and radiates upon us from the sun. Color is an active
power, exerting a tremendous influence on our consciousness, soul and spirit.
Within our body, our organs, muscles, cells and nerves all have a level of vibration. When our
body becomes out of balance, disease occurs. Each color has its own frequency and vibration.
Through extensive research, we know that color and light will help bring our physical and
emotional systems into balance.
Asian medicine teaches us that our bodies have meridians carrying energy throughout our
system, connecting with each major organ. When blockages in these meridians happen, disease
follows. The Chinese use acupuncture needles to remove blockages in the meridians. Color can
be used in the same way and is frequently more powerful, quicker and has no discomfort from
needles.
Contributions made by :
A Great Scientist of yester year to wistom the chromo therapy science owe’s reverence.It was Sir
Izzac Newton who by various experiences proved that when a ray of light (sunlight/white light)
is only allowed to pass through an equilateral glass prism,it is split up into seven component
colours ( VIBGYOR) i.e Violet,Indigo,Blue,Green,Yellow,Orabge and Red which when caught
on screen forms a brilliant band of seven colours called as a SPECTRUM.
Dr.Edwin D Babbit
The method for administering had been developed by Dr.Edwin Babbit.He is generally referred
to us as a Promoter of Chromotherapy.He wrote a famous book – “PRINCIPLES OF LIGHT
AND COLOUR”.
Dr.Ponza
Rudolph Steiner
He studied the possibilities of assisting the healing of the wounds by visible light.In the year 1893.he
used red colour to inhibit the formation of scars of small pox.
Arnold Rikbi
He believed that “Water is good,air is better and light is the best of all”.
Dr.John Harvey Kellog
In year 1899,Dr.Kellog concluded that people would suffer much less from cold,if they would
make air and sun bathing in a regular practice.
Dr.Saaidman (1934)
1) Sun is our most important source of light,heat,vital energy.Quality of every cell in our
body,\its growth and functions are all determined by numerable radiations which flow
from it.
2) Light is a source of energy in the form of rays.By the efforts of Sir Izzac Newton,we
have come to know that light (sunlight) on dispersion through an isosceles triangular
glass prism is split up into its seven components constitutent colours.If these colours
are caught on the screen,they form a band of 7 colour with violet at the bottom and
red at the top.
3) Violet colour bend the most and red colour bends the least,so violet colour is at the
top. Indigo,Blue,Green,Yello and Orange lie in between the violet and red colour.This
is due to different wave lengths possessed by different rays.
4) Light from its origin-Sun comes from the tiny particles of matter called
“ATOMS”.Atoms absorb energy in tiny bundles called as “PHOTONS”.Photons
with the different amount of energies make up the light of different colours.
5) All visible rays are penetrating longer the wave length of light,deeper in the
penetration.It is this penetration of powers of rays that are important for medicinal
properties which are imparted to blood vessels through skin.Violet colour has shortest
wave length and is most penetrating.Red colour has short wave length.Other rays has
similar properties lying between violet and red rays.
6) Absorption of Radiation: Light is given to body through skin and mucus
membrane.Structure affected by penetration of rays are-1.Skin 2.Mucus Membrene
3.Sweat glands 4.Sebaeceous gland 5.Pigment 6.Hair follicles 7.Nerve Terminals and
8. Blood Capillaries.
7) Another principle of chromotherapy is charging of Water,Oil,Rose water and
Glycerine.When sunlight (white light) is allowed to pass through a filter of any
particular colour,then filter absorb all other colours of white light excepts the colour
of which it is made.
8) Water,Oil,liquid that has to be charged is placed in a glass bottle/bowl/container and a
chromo paper/cello phone paper of a particular colour of which it is has to be charged
with,is wrapped around fully and put it to be sun charged on a wooden table.
9) Two invisible colour of sunlight are Ultra violet and Infra red rays.
