Colour Therapy Diploma
Colour Therapy
A Diploma Course over a 8 Month Term with Theory & Practical Weekends
The use of Colour as a Therapy is a truly holistic, non-invasive and powerful therapy which dates back thousands of years; evidence of this can be found in ancient texts from India, China and Egypt.
Colour is simply light of varying wavelengths and, as such, is a form of energy that is used in Colour Therapy.
This light energy affects all living cells (as we all know, without light all living things are affected). Used in the right way, these different frequencies of light, i.e. colour, can have a profound and healing effect on all creation, human or otherwise. It is a well know scientific fact that everything has a vibration, that is to say that all things have their own vibration/frequency, and that includes you and I and all of Humanity!
Becoming a Colour Therapist
Colour Therapy can be used for any problem whether, physical, mental, emotional or spiritual for specific problems as well as an overall relaxation therapy. Colour Therapy can be used safely and effectively - either alone or alongside any other therapy, whether complementary or orthodox medicine - for adults, children, babies and non-human animals alike. (However, no complementary therapy should ever be considered as an alternative to orthodox medical advice.)
Colour energy can be the catalyst for our healing process and encourages normal and healthy workings of the body.
As a graduate of the Atlantis Institute, you as a Colour Therapies should not only treat the client with Colour but also teach the client as to the power of Colour and its use in the clients everyday life. Colour is everywhere and should be utilized as part of our everyday life. As an AI Colour Therapist you will be able to explain and advise the client on how they can use colour at home for health and wellbeing.
Understand Yourself and others with Colour
Some of us love yellow, some of us hate orange. We all have our colour preferences.
There is a reason for these colour preferences which can be explained:
Either
By life experiences involving that colour - a negative life experience will make us dislike a certain colour; a positive life experience involving a particular colour will, of course, make us feel drawn to that colour.
Or
An aversion to a colour can indicate an imbalance in that particular area of the body.
Being aware of these preferences can tell us a great deal about ourselves and help us to address sometimes, very deep seated emotional issues, character traits etc.
Colour can be incredibly enlightening and transforming.
How Colour is used as in therapy
Colour is simply light of different wavelengths, and each colour has its own specific wavelength and vibration. These wavelengths resonate with energies in different areas of the body.
As we absorb colour energy not only through the eyes but also through the skin and the electromagnetic field or aura, Colour Therapy can be used on the body in a number of different ways.
As with any therapy, each therapist may have his or her own 'style', however, a number of common methods used are:
The placing of colour silks on the body
The directing of coloured light on to the body.
Solarized water
Meditation with colour
Colour breathing
The right colour for you
Your clients colour preferences can tell you as an AI Colour Therapist a good deal about themselves.
Colour choices can indicate where there may be an imbalance of colour which can highlight a potential problem; whether emotional, physical, mental or spiritual and also gives indications of personality issues which may need to be addressed.
The emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects make up the whole person and really one cannot be isolated from the other.
