Practical In-Home/Office Application
A simplified form of color therapy that you could make for using over your healing table involves purchasing an eight-bulb light bar that is typically used over the sink in a bathroom. These are available at hardware or home improvement stores. A company in California called Tools for Exploration (1-800-456-9887) sells colored 40 watt light bulbs. Purchasing a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and a pink bulb allows for treatment of the first seven and the eighth chakra. The eighth chakra is nine inches above the crown chakra. The light bar is suspended from the ceiling using two ceiling plant hanger hooks and the chain that comes with them. When your average height client is positioned on your healing table, align the light bar so the orange bulb is over the second chakra and the indigo bulb is over the sixth chakra. With my light bar I added a dimmer switch, and I highly recommend this feature. If a certain color is not desired for a certain client, simply unscrew that bulb. Don't worry, consciousness determines how we take light in and what portion we take in. This is a simple, inexpensive way to begin using generic high-tech, color therapy in your home or office.
Fire agate as a gem essence is useful to be taken prior to the application of color treatment as it facilitates receptiveness to the benefits of color therapy. It can be purchased from Pegasus Products in Boulder, Colorado (1-800-527-6104).
Colored light and healing go hand-in-hand. Light is the purest physical manifestation of God. For the client, colored lights make the chakras more tangible. It opens ways of knowing. Having colored lights shining on the clients helps them feel the emanations of the rays.
The qualities of the seven rays (as described in Theosophy and by Alice Bailey) can be applied through the lights. Both client and healer can peek at the lights to help visualize a color or open the corresponding chakra or level of the field. In conclusion, color therapy makes a wonderful adjunct to any energy medicine practice.
