Suitable for students, healers, therapists and everyone interested in learning more about the subject, this book explains in detail the nature of colour therapy, providing a step-by-step guide to the different aspects, including healing with prana energy, contact and absent healing, the historical origins and the therapeutic benefits for today.
We live surrounded by colours and most people have some mental associations with colour and mood, such as finding green restful or red stimulating. But how often do we think about the use of colour to heal ailments such as shingles or even cancer?
Colour Healing Manual by Pauline Wills is rightly called a manual. It's sufficiently in-depth to tutor the serious student but is also a clear and comprehensive introduction to the subject for anyone who wants to know more.
Wills kicks off with a history of colour healing from ancient cultures--Hindu, Chinese and Egytian--to a surprising volume of clinical research documented in Western science over the last couple of centuries. The majority of the book, however, is devoted to a step-by-step and generously illustrated guide on how the individual can heal with colour.
This takes four principle forms, namely, healing using touch with colour visualisation and healing with prana energy, using a colour therapy instrument and absent healing. The reader is taken through initial diagnosis by pendulum or kinesiology, with reference to a spinal chart, and the associations of colours with physical, mental, spiritual, metabolic and emotional aspects of being. Also explored in detail is how each of the seven chakras and different bodily systems are linked with particular colours plus an interesting section charting the possible metaphysical or emotional cause of common illnesses. Wills recommends readers have tuition before healing, as it's powerful stuff, but this will certainly show them if it is a path they want to follow. --Cindy Symons
