Color Therapy

Color affects the mind, body and spirit. People are affected psychologically and physically by different colored light. Color healers work with the principles of colors to bring about effective healing.

There are no standard color therapy protocols for dealing with menopause. The therapy may take the form of light shone on the unclothed body, colored silk squares worn next to the skin or colored clothing/underwear, all in turquoise and magenta to help with balance.

Magenta is the link between red (energy) and violet (healing) and may help to calm hot flushes that a woman may be suffering.

Poor concentration may be improved by yellows as this is a good stimulator and balancer of the nervous system and mental processes.

The following colors are chosen by color therapists:

Blue is a cooling, soothing color used to increase vitality and energy. It helps relieve menstrual difficulties and nervous irritability.

Yellow, the color of joy, helps to soothe the emotions and relieve depression. It is used for mental fatigue and for stimulating activity.

Green is the color of energy and youth. It stimulates the nervous system and soothes the emotions. It is used to treat exhaustion, irritability, sleeplessness and nervous disorders.

A variety of techniques are used by color therapists to expose the patient to the color such as direct light, gems, jewelry, perfume, clothing and colored glass. You may also meditate on colors and eat the appropriately colored foods.

Blue foods include plums, grapes and blueberries. Blue metals and chemicals include copper, lead, oxygen and tin.

Yellow foods include bananas, banana squash, eggs, yellow cheese, yellow com, yellow sweet potatoes, pineapples, lemons, grapefruit and butter. Yellow metal and chemicals include platinum and magnesium.

Green foods include green vegetables, peas, beans and lentils. Green metal and chemicals include barium, chlorophyll, nickel and sodium.
