Colour Light Therapy

What is Colour Light Therapy? Would it be suitable for you? Acupuncturists use many non-needle techniques. For people who are very depleted (i.e. chronic fatigue) and children, very few or no needles are used because acupuncture is a potent treatment. Colour Light is a gentler option that is appropriate in these cases.

Colour Light Therapy has its roots in the teachings of naturopath Peter Mandel from Germany. Using a torch and quartz glass rods of 11 different colours, coloured light is applied to the skin on specific points or zones. With my acupuncture training the locations are measured in the same way as needled points. Unlike Acupuncture, Colour Light Therapy does not pierce the skin but the principle is similar, either blocks are removed or repairs are made to the channels along which qì flows to maintain the health of the body. This allows the body to spontaneously return to its natural state of well being and balance.

Scientific research has shown that the cells of the body naturally communicate through light. Peter Mandel tells us the memories of past traumas are held in our cells and affect the way we respond physically and psychologically to present events. He designed treatments using the frequency of each colour to carry a particular healing message which the cells absorb and transmit to each other. As the healing message is received, the causes of disharmony are released. The person begins remembering and resonating with their natural capacity for health and well-being. My first experience of a course of Colour Light was in a grey February in the UK, when I completed the initial training. I noticed how warm and light I felt in my body, unusually for the time of year I wanted to move and walk. I wouldn't wait to move onto the next part of the course because I felt so great. I was encouraged to complete because it is a supportive treatment during the Menopause transition. I continue to self-administer Colour Light as part of my wake up routine after meditation and I use it in practice either alone or with other treatments as I see fit. In fact, it was my positive body response to Colour Light Therapy that led me to train in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at degree level at ICOM.

Colour Light Therapy is a very safe method and can be used alongside conventional medical treatment and will actually enhance the effectiveness of a chosen conventional treatment. Each session may include one or more sequences of colours and points designed to address specific problems or issues and support greater health and balance. A course of treatments will further strengthen a patient in their health and mental well being.
