Color and light therapy is a combination of alternative medicine called "energy medicine." It involves the use of both light and color to promote bodily healing in people who are said to have locked chakras, or blocked energy levels in the body.
How Color and Light Therapy Works
The body has energy, and color is considered energy, coupled with light. The color and light energy combined gives off a vibration, releasing trapped or sluggish energy levels by properly distributing energy throughout the body.
Effects of Color and Light Therapy
After a session, the body is better equipped to heal and be restored to health. Color and light therapy is used for the treatment of depression as well.
What to Expect at the Initial Consultation
A practitioner will do an in-depth evaluation of one's medical problems.
Your First Session
Patients generally lay down on a raised, comfortable table, are told to relax, and a beam of colored light, generally pulsating light or alternating lights from a special machine or wand that the practitioner holds, is guided over the various trouble points in the body.
Where it's Done
It's done in alternative practitioner offices, sometimes in conjunction with other alternative therapies. It can also be performed at home by buying a special light.
