- It has been known for eons of time that colour plays a major role in setting up a particular mood or state of mind. Colour does affect one’s feelings, moods, and emotions.
- Colours are certain wavelengths of electro-magnetic energy seen through our eyes.
- The colour we see is the part of the visible spectrum that is reflected back by a certain object. We know that when all colours join the result is white light.
- Along with colours, light also consists of chemical and emotional elements since it emits heat, electricity and magnetism.
- Thus, light, along with its component colours, can be used for healing the mind, body and spirit. This is the basic principle behind Chromo therapy or colour therapy.
