Therapies
As the rays of the sun radiate down upon earth, different colours are formed by the reflection of the light from the various elements. Each colour of the spectrum has its own properties in the form of its wavelength and frequency.
Colour |

Frequency |
VIOLET |
380 - 440 nm |
700 - 790 thz |
INDIGO |
440 - 485 nm |
670 - 700 thz |
BLUE |
485 - 500 nm |

GREEN |

530 - 510 thz |
ORANGE |
590 - 625 nm |
510 - 480 thz |
RED |
625 - 740 nm |
480 - 405 thz |
Frequency = Terahertz (one trillion cycles per second)
Wavelength = Nanometers (One meter equals 1,000,000,000 nanometers. One nanometer is about the length of ten atoms in a row)
We are all beings of energy. We vibrate at different frequencies just as the colours do. By recognising this we are able to use colour to assist us in healing.
Colour affects us physically, emotionally and psychologically. Below is a table listing the effects of the colours on us:

Slow vibration increases exhalation and is very good for asthma sufferers or hyper active people to wear. Also increases fluidity of speech and self expression. |

Healing is often a process of letting go of one thing in order for something else to manifest. Green helps by acting as a balancing agent between all vibratory influences around us as well as the breath. Also improves the immune system. |

Yellow stimulates the inhalation of breath and should not be worn by asthma sufferers or hyper active people. Good to use in cases of lethargy and laziness to encourage enthusiasm |

Colours are effective as a therapy when worn, used in coloured light bulbs, light boxes and crystals.
This is a very condensed description of colour therapy and I would recommend further reading on the topic. There are various courses being offered and lots of websites to browse.
