Colour is pure energy. Each colour of the rainbow has a different frequency and power which reaches you through light rays. Light stimulates oru body's endocrine system, which is connected to our energy centres (chakras). All organs, body systems and functions are connected to these energy centres. Light consists of the seven colour energies: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

Our body absorbs light energy for nourishment on a daily basis. As well, our other senses can receive additional colour energy through a balance of different coloured foods, herbs, vitamins, aromatherapy, sound, minerals, clothing, decor and colour bathing...

Innately our body communicates with water...

Light is our most important energy source and light is an array of colour energies. Each colour has its own language that affects us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
