Color Therapy

There are two major directions in the application of color therapy.  One is to think of light as a form of radiant energy. They propose to shine light of different colors to corresponding energy centers (chakras) in the human body for healing and well-being. The other is more psychological. They believe that different colors have different effects on people’s mood, which can be used to balance spiritual disorder, to ease stress, or to stimulate a better status for productive working. I kind of believe that there must be some mysterious reasons for the chakra theory. But the way to feed these energy centers may not necessarily to be physical. Since visualizing or only thinking of a specific color can affect a person’s mood, maybe we can also do things good to the chakras spiritually through visualizing and thinking. I then thought of connecting a long strip made up of the seven colors to the body. The distribution of the colors is following the positions of chakras. For the part below the neck, when looking down, the person need to try to connect each color with the body part or important organ behind it. For the part above neck, the person need to think of it as a mirror of the top body, and try to connect the colors to the parts the colors are facing. After continuously exercising through the mind, each chakra is satisfied and balanced. Through this process we could get the same result as feeding the chakras with physical color light.

It is fun, I started the work by trying different shirts and skirts. Then labeled on the clothes chakras of myself. After working on the form of the strip, there came the problem: how to connect them and connect them to the body? I called a friend at mid night, the idea of “notch” came into being during the talking. With the notch the strip is scalable, people can adjust it according to their body. I also created some double-sided labels, which make it easy to stick any part of the strip to any part of the clothes. Patients can wear it and exercise in the therapy room, or any one can wear it to wherever he/she want, it looks nice, doesn’t it?
