Alternative Healing III - Color Therapy
Please note: For email subscribers, Feedblitz has instituted a change that allows me to use a different originating email address than the current one for delivering these blog posts. From this point forward any posts to this blog will originate from the email address that it arrived from today. So please update your email address book on your local PC and on Webmail to add this new address as a preferred sender. Now, on to the post for today.
Another alternative healing modality I discovered in my quest to heal a tooth/gum infection is “Color Therapy.” I learned about it from a good friend who has energy healing/clearing skills, and she brought it up during a healing session one day. In essence she explained to me that when certain colors are projected on areas of a person’s body, healing can often result. One also has the option of drinking color treated water to get similar healing benefits. In such case a glass pitcher is used and the precise color that is needed must be used to cover the outside of the pitcher. This can be in the form of fabric or cellophane, but the challenge is to find that exact color or color combination that’s necessary to treat a specific issue. The glass pitcher is then left in sunlight for a few hours to treat the water with the appropriate color frequency. While I didn’t experience healing success using color therapy for this particular issue, I want to emphasize that I believe the reason is I simply wasn’t able to apply it correctly.
The mainstream would say that this healing modality couldn’t possibly work, but with just a bit of research into the work of Darius Dinshah you’ll find that it does indeed have merit as a healing tool. Moreover, the science behind why it works is pretty solid. For detailed information about Color Therapy, visit Dinshah Health. I also recommend purchasing Dinshah’s book “Let There Be Light, which is available by mail order from Dinshah Health (there's an order form on the website), and it can also be purchased on Amazon.com. Be sure to check out the reviews of the book on Amazon (just click here to get to the exact Amazon page).
In the balance of this post I’ve included an excerpt about Color Therapy from the Dinshah Health website. For more information refer to Dinshahhealth.org.
Primer on Color Therapy
Color therapy dates back to antiquity but came into a more modern form in the mid-1800s. Though the electric light was not yet invented, their utilization of sunlight and glass filters served as efficiently as any present-day therapeutic device. The classic reference volume, Principles of Light and Color (by Dr. Babbitt, first edition published in 1878), detailed many case histories successfully treated with color therapy using even a rudimentary device: a colored glass bottle.
How can colored light possibly cause a physiologic effect inside a human (or animal) body? Several answers can be given, each may be correct for a particular case or health condition. The first and probably best known is the so-called "blue-light" therapy for some types of neonatal jaundice. Light applied to the skin causes a chemical reaction (photo-oxidation) in blood circulating under the skin, effectively lessening bilirubin levels with the aid of the liver. The second, also by exposure of the skin, is production of vitamin D though it is generated by a higher frequency (ultraviolet) rather than visible light. Third is light energy entering through the eyes. A common misconception is that the eyes function solely in the capacity of visual imaging.
Additional light exposure is well-known to cause a beneficial change in "seasonal affective disorder" (SAD), a condition believed to be caused by insufficient light energization through the eyes to the hypothalamus thence to the pituitary gland which controls the endocrine system. The fourth is the author's (i.e. Darius Dinshah) hypothesis, derived from several sources: Each individual cell in a living organism has a specific function to perform. In so doing, it generates and radiates a specific energy; the cellular energy totality is often termed the "aura". The liver radiates the equivalent frequency (harmonic) of red light, the pituitary radiates green, the spleen violet, circulatory system is magenta, lymphatic system is yellow, and so on. The logic behind color therapy is this: when a particular organ or system is underactive, its auric energy decreases so the appropriate activating color is projected on the affected area (sometimes the entire body). If overactivity is present, such as in excessive fever, the obvious remedy is an opposite (depressant) color. Further, by energizing the natural reparative powers present within us, rather than relying on drugs with their attendant often-dangerous side effects, resistant bacteria are not encouraged.
Bye for now.
