When I began doing research with color therapy in a clinical setting my hypothesis was that each of the seven chakras would most often benefit from the color associated with that chakra in the literature. In physics, the wavelength of light is measured in Angstroms, A = Angstroms.
- The first chakra would most often receive red light 6865A
- The 2nd chakra would most often receive orange light 8330A
- The 3rd chakra would most often receive yellow light 5873A
- The 4th chakra would most often receive green light 5131A
- The 5th chakra would most often receive blue light 4556A
- The 6th chakra would most often receive indigo light 4314A
- The 7th chakra would most often receive violet light 4097A
Applied Kinesiology, or muscle testing, was developed in the 1960's by George Goodheart, D.C. I utilized Applied Kinesiology to determine which chakras would be treated, and then which color would be projected onto that chakra. The applied kinesiological part of the procedure is performed as follows: The patient may be in any position, prone, supine, sitting or standing. However, over 95% of the time the patient was either sitting or supine. The decision was usually made by whether the patient was accustomed to sitting for meditation or lying down. Comfort was also a factor, as a back pain patient may prefer lying down. The advantage of sitting is that it allows access to the front and back of the body for color light application. Presuming the patient's right arm flexor muscle group is strong (in the clear), I would use my left hand to test the strength of their right arm. As I touched with my right hand over (challenging) the patient's chakras beginning with the seventh, a weakening (temporary reflex weakening) of the right arm flexors would indicate that the patient would benefit from the application of colored light onto that chakra at that time.
