Color Therapy Basics

All colours vibrate on a given frequency and each one is slightly different. The range that we can see is somewhere 670 to 480 THz . Imagine what other amazing colours there may be in other frequencies that are outside of our field of perception.

Each of these colours vibrations affects the human body. We are, after all, just a collection of atoms, electrons and molecules. These are all bouncing around in an electro-magnetic field to give the illusion of a solid mass.

So, colour can affect mood, health and general well being.
