Colours affect our sense of perception (light colours make a space look big, a high ceiling looks less high when painted in a dark colour, etc.)
Colours have a symbolic meaning which is recognized by our sub-conscious mind.
Colours, as electromagnetic energy, may influence the flow of energy in our bodies.

How Colors Help Us Heal

True healing comes about when the cause of the condition or illness is addressed and transformed. Our body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the soul (subconscious) and the spirit (super-conscious) of the individual. In this sense, colored light acts as both an electromagnetic balancing force and as a focal point for the desired effect.

Traditional chromotherapists utilize light to balance the body’s energy. Depending on the practitioner, they may prescribe exposure to different hues in an effort to improve physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological ailments.
