BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPY FOR YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING - HOW TO USE COLOUR THERAPY
BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPYis a way of using colours to enhance and restore our body’s energy. Colour therapy works on a holistic level. It works on the mind, body and spirit by addressing the origin of the health problem (disease), and it helps us to stimulate the process of self-healing. It can be used for balancing our energies in order to prevent possible problems.
BIOPTRON Pro 1 Colour Filters are of the highest quality and each filter only allows the correct part of the colour light spectrum to be omitted and reflecting the remaining light. BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPYColour Therapy has been used since ancient times in various forms to balance as well as enhance our energy resulting in keeping our body, mind and spirit in a state of balanced health and harmony. Colour is pure vibration and can balance and thereby increase our energy.
Colour is light and light is colour
The sun emits light at different frequencies. These frequencies of light can be separated by a process called refraction. When light goes through a crystal prism, it refracts and divides into the seven colours of the spectrum. Each colour has its own frequency.
If the separated colours go through another prism they will reform as white light. The first person to demonstrate this phenomenon at the end of the 17th century was Isaac Newton, the great British physicist.
Colour wavelengths and frequencies
Energy is considered to travel in waves. The distance between successive waves is called wavelength and the number of times a wave oscillates in one second is called frequency. As a general rule: the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. Each colour has its own characteristic frequency and its individual wavelength. Only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to the human eye.
Violet has the shortest wavelength while red has the longest.
Beyond violet lies ultraviolet which, although invisible to the human eye, can pass through our body. Ultraviolet is what provides us with a suntan and kills bacteria.
The longest wavelength at the other end of the spectrum is emitted by red. Beyond red lies infrared followed by microwaves, radar, radio and television wavelengths; all invisible to the human eye. Red, orange and yellow, carried on longer wavelengths, seem to reach the eye faster than the colours on the other side of the spectrum. They are called warm colours as we associate them with fire and sunshine.
Green, blue and violet are perceived as cool colours. They travel in shorter wavelengths, so they seem to take longer to reach our eyes; they bring to mind the water of the sea and rivers, the sky and the winter dawn. They are also called receding colours, because of the length of time their energy takes to reach our eyes. Each warm colour has its complementary cool colour: red – blue; orange – indigo; yellow – violet; green – red (magenta).
Reveal the power of colour
Everybody feels dull and sluggish sometimes. Have you ever thought that perhaps you are surrounded by the wrong colour? Colours are essential for our body and soul, and can keep our batteries charged. No matter what colour you like to wear or surround yourself with, the seven colours of sunlight can influence us subconsciously .
The 7 colours of the rainbow
You know it very well. When the sun shines through the rain, you may see a rainbow in the sky.
As sunlight passes through the water droplets, it bends and splits into the colours of the rainbow. Sunlight is known as visible or white light and is actually a mixture of all visible colours. A rainbow is made up of seven colours because the water droplets break the white sunlight into the seven colours of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). The bigger the raindrops are, the brighter the rainbow will appear in the sky.
We can feel the colours
Colour is energy. Every colour has its own wavelength and frequency. As a result, we perceive colour not only visually, but absorb it subconsciously through our skin. When penetrating our body, colour produces chemical reactions that affect the function of various organs and systems. Colour helps our skin “tissues” and organs to stock up on energy, thus increasing the body’s resistance. This newly charged energy gives us strength to fight against disease.

Indigo - brow chakra
Blue - throat chakra
Green - heart chakra
Yellow - solar plexus chakra

The colour chakra therapy
Health is contingent upon balancing not only our physical needs, but our emotional, mental and spiritual needs as well. The colour chakra therapy principle is based on the assumption, that colours are associated with seven main chakras, which are spiritual centres in our bodies located along the spine. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to a specific area.
Chakra (pronounced sha-kra) is the Sanskrit word for "wheel". It is assumed, that chakras store and distribute energy. There are seven of these chakras and each is associated with a particular organ or system in the body. Each chakra has a dominant colour, which may become imbalanced. If this happens, it can cause a disorder with physical ramifications. By introducing the appropriate colour the disorder is considered to have been improved.
Below is a description of each chakra, its corresponding colour and body area location.

Bioptron Colour Therapy is also conductive to treat animals.
ANIMALS ALSO HAVE CHAKRAS
Animals have chakras, the same as we do and their chakras are similarly situated – given that the majority of them are more horizontal than we are – they are in very similar places. Animals have another main chakra, which is situated over the top of the shoulder, called the brachial chakra. This chakra is sometimes called “the key chakra” since it is a powerful one and can give access to all the other chakras. Many animals do not see colours as we do, but this does not mean they are not affected by colour energies. Animals are very sensitive to differing energies, so they also pick up the varying benefits of colour. Please note, that no complementary therapy should be considered as an alternative to veterinary advice.Free image courtesy of FreeDigitalPhotos.net
