Alternative therapeutic techniques related to wellness are nowadays more and more numerous. Depending on the needs and preferences of each individual, it is possible to find the most optimal and suitable technique. Whether you suffer from physical or emotional pathologies, color therapy offers the properties of light colored in order to provoke physiological readjustment reactions favorable to the maintenance or restoration of health.  

Therefore, chromotherapy could easily be a complementary method of care in the search for a global well-being.

We are generally aware of this, colors very often influence our state of mind. Indeed, with regard to certain colors, the individual can feel sensations of well being, ill being or rather neutral sensations. In his book "Treaty of Color Therapy", Pierre Van Obbeghem expresses the fact that thehuman being unconsciously associates, with different colors, various parts of his body, mind and emotions. He also associates symbols and particular experiences.

From a scientific point of view, studies tend to prove thathypothalamus Would have an important role in the process of action of colors on our body.

Our energy body has 7 main chakras (energy centers) aligned along the spine. Each of the chakras is linked to a specific color, namely :

• Root Chakra: Red

• Sacral Chakra: Orange

• Plexus Chakra: Yellow

• Heart Chakra: Pink or Green

• Throat Chakra: Blue

• 3rd eye chakra: Indigo

• Coronal Chakra : Violet - White

Our chakras influence our physical body through the endocrine glands, mainly, and vice versa. Also, when there is an energetic disruption within us, it can be felt in the chakra balance which will impact our physical and/or emotional body.

The chakras have several very important roles in our survival. Indeed, they are a storage place for both our physical and emotional memories, memories stored over the years. A simple negative thought can put a stop to the proper functioning of this or that chakra, which will then mark the beginning of a multitude of problems and organic dysfunctions.

In addition to this storage role, the chakras also have functions on the various organs that they nourish with energy. This energy is very important for the proper functioning of our body, without which life would be impossible.

Concrete example with the Root Chakra:

The root chakra is the chakra that stabilizes us and keeps us grounded, in the reality of things, in matter. If it is healthy, it allows us to position ourselves in a healthy way in relation to others and to move forward towards our ultimate goals with an affirmed serenity.

Physical problems related to the root chakra vary: pain in the feet, ankles, knees because they are located on the path of energy that rises from the earth to the sky, back pain, constipation, arthritis, etc.

Emotional problems: lack of self-confidence, panic fears, difficulty in overcoming everyday challenges, anxieties, insecurity, frustrations, pride, perfectionism, etc....

From then on, a root chakra in diminished imbalance and deficiency will be able to be nourished by the red color that predominates it.

• Warm colors ( red, orange, yellow) are stimulating, activating, warming and they speed up our energy.

• Cold colors ( blue tones) are sedative, calming and they cool, soothe, slow down or decrease our energy.

• Neutral colors ( green tones) are cleansing, neutralizing and balancing. They decrease our energy.

We will therefore quickly understand why we avoid painting a bedroom red and that the color green is, for example, associated with the field of health.

In addition to the use of colors in our home and in our daily lives, the therapeutic practice associated with colors is very effective.

Currently, many alternative health therapists offer sessions called "color baths". While the person is lying down, dressed, he receives, on certain parts of his body - or in the totality of this one - projections of colored light according to his needs. The projected color can also act, more precisely, on smaller areas by stimulating reflex points, associated with acupuncture points.

When we meet these clients, we discover peaceful faces. Indeed, the results following the different sessions are incredible because people find their vitality, they rediscover the joy of living and the physical ailments slowly take the door of the exit. Obviously, as with any accompaniment, an adapted lifestyle must be reviewed in parallel to allow a holistic work on the being. Also, chromotherapy is not a substitute for a medical follow-up with your doctor.

The impact of the colors you wear, colorimetry and its importance

If the colors around you have a real impact on your emotions, it is clear that those you wear in your outfit are not without effect on you. After chromotherapy, think also of the colorimetry to know how to appreciate the colors that make you look good, those that make you feel good and those that put you in a good mood!
