Our Relationships With Light & Color

by Dr. Annette Patterson

 Humans have an intimate relationship with light and color. Color touches every area of our lives, and increases the strength, the balance and the harmony of our being on all levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The entire known universe is comprised of electromagnetic energy. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are the short, ultraviolet energy waves, which can be used for killing germs, sun tanning and more. On the other end of the spectrum are the longer waves known as infrared energy waves, radio waves, heat rays, etc. That which can be seen with the human eye, falls directly in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum. All seemingly solid objects in our world, including our bodies, are made up of this same electromagnetic energy. The more dense the energy, the more solid an object seems.

Daniel E. Patterson, of Stellar Research Corporation, explains, ”Light is the closest thing to pure energy that we can identify, so it follows, we have the ability to modify our energetic composition with its use.” Light can be broken down into numerous electromagnetic frequencies, and each frequency relates to a color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and all the variations thereof. Each of our organs and energy centers (Chakras) vibrate and harmonize with the frequencies of these colors.

Color Therapy and Chromopathy treatments utilize color to effect a change and balance the body’s organs, as well as the many layers of the body’s energy field. Some of the modalities used in Color Therapy are, Hydrochromopathy, Color Dressing with Intent, Nutritional Chromotherapy, Color Breathing, Color Visualization, and Active and Passive Color Therapy using the LivingStoneTM System.

Since ancient times, light and color have been used to heal the body. In fact, light and color therapy was the first healing modality recorded. The Incas, for example, believed that looking at the sun in the early morning would heal the body and provide longevity. The Egyptians were also known to sun gaze, and believed that looking at the sun would heal the body, awaken the mind, and allow a person to remember not only past history but past lifetimes as well.

The work of Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D., has scientifically proven that light is responsible for turning on the brain and the body. Light enters the body through the eyes and skin. When even a single photon of light enters the eye, it lights up the entire brain. This light triggers the hypothalamus, which regulates all life-sustaining bodily functions, the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and the pituitary (the body’s master gland). The hypothalamus is also responsible for our body’s biological clock. It also sends a message, by way of light, to the pineal organ, which is responsible for releasing one of our most important hormones, Melatonin. The release of Melatonin is directly related to light, darkness, colors, and the Earth’s electromagnetic field. This necessary hormone affects every cell in the body. It turns on each cell’s internal activities, allowing them to harmonize with each other and nature. The Pineal Gland is believed to be responsible for our feeling of oneness with the universe and sets the stage for the relationship between our inner being and the environment. If that relationship is harmonious, we are healthy, happy, and feel a sense of well-being. An imbalance in this relationship makes itself known in the form of disorders or dis-ease in our physical, mental or emotional states. The Pineal is our “light meter” so to speak, and receives information from the heavens above, to give us that sense of oneness with the universe, and from the Earth’s electromagnetic field below to keep us grounded. A perfect balance is necessary to maintain our health, and to keep us in harmony with the environment.

In my work, I have used light and color, both physically and mentally, to affect clients/students and myself in physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual ways. It has been quite effective. My continued research on this alternative healing method never fails to fascinate me!

Light and color give us a sense of well-being. Can light and color also assist in our enlightenment? I believe so! Add Color to your life!
