Health, happiness and wellbeing through colour - colour therapy basics
May 2nd, 2008 1:16 pmYesterday I spent the day at the Mind, Body and Spirit Festival here in Sydney. This event has grown from very humble, simple beginnings into a twice yearly, major event. There are hundreds of stalls, an entertainment stage, a speakers’ cafe and two workshop venues where you can listen to talks on various topics.
I chose to listen to a talk on colour therapy by Jill Gordon. She is very experienced in this field.
Those of you who are familiar with yoga will know about the chakra system and the corresponding colours. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for “wheel”. Each on has its own type of energy and is associated with different areas and organs of the body.
The chakras are the colours of the rainbow, starting at the base chakra with red, moving through orange (reproductive area), yellow at the solar plexus, then green for the heart chakra, blue for the throat, indigo for the third eye chakra and violet for the crown chakra (on top of the head).
As chakras become imbalanced we become unwell, disease manifests and we need to regain our balance and health. There are many different ways to strengthen, balance and harmonise chakras. More next time.
