Course XXXVIII - Teaching 11: Chromotherapy

Vibration is expression of the cosmic mind, and power is a link joining it to physical life.
None would be able ever to explain the secret of colors, and how and why they are formed.
Color is the energetic soul of being, and just as all sevenfold hues of being are reflected on an astral aura by means of colors, so color is the image of its local state in a physical body.
If a man is full of strength and his blood irrigation is active, his cheeks shall be reddish; if his organic function is slow, he becomes pale and his veins become bluish. If a person is constantly in the open, his skin becomes tanned and looks like bathed by orange sunrays.
Just as a color prevails in the aura, so its corresponding color prevails in the physical body; the abundance of the one over the other brings physical unbalance.
As we said above, the three fundamental colors in the aura are: blue, red and yellow. These subtilized colors become green, violet and orange; heath establishes a balance between them. Almost always, blue and red are absent in the physical body; thence so much lack of harmony in the human body.
An over-abundant or scarce color in the aura can be seen not only by a seer, but also by a researcher, by simple observation.
You know the color of the human body:
First: by the color of the eyeball.
Second: by the color of fingernails.
Third: by the color of urine.
Fourth: by the color of evacuation.
After a close observation, the therapist should establish which color is lacking in the physical body and especially in which part of it, to diagnose disease, and fight and heal it.
A man with super-abundant blue color, is calm, slow, melancholic, suffers of intestinal atony and dyspepsia. Blue color is sedative, refreshing, electric and astringent; alleviates and reduces high temperature, attenuates colics, control madness and mind disturbances, apoplexy and infectious diseases of any kind, and is excellent tonic for nervous unbalance.
Green, which astrally refers to blue, must be applied to certain diseases. A proper application of green might heal cancer, calm neuralgia, toothache and sight diseases, and is sleep-inducing.
Red color is warm and non-astringent; tones up, cheers up, excites and vivifies; fights excessive blue, amnesia, sadness and unwillingness. In cases of lung diseases, red color must be applied in little doses, along with violet, to vivify without any excitation.
Yellow color is penetrating; must be used, not misused; any application of this color never must be excessive. It heals kidneys, glands and liver. Applications of yellow color would be excellent for lepers and epileptics.
Orange is good for rheum, gout, chronic consumption and erysipelas.
But for psychic healing, one needs to know not only the physical body, but also the aura of being. Chromotherapy treatments are made differently. Hindu physicians have applied them for generation to generation and, in recent years, German and American physicians have successfully experienced them. Chromotherapy would be more successful if it were applied breaking the luminous rays. Now there are ultraviolet, infrared rays and, recently, devices detecting the yellow light.
Soon afterwards, all colors will be detected and applied by means of especial devices.
In chromotherapy, it is also useful to paint rooms with the color to apply and to do the same with clothes and surrounding area.
All know how the contemplation of seawater calms down the soul, and how the vision of blood and of deep colors has exciting effects.
Hindus would heal this way: they fill bottles of different colors with water, expose these bottles several days to sunrays, and give this water to patients to drink; for external use, they fill bottles with oil instead of water.
