Color Therapy
About Color Therapy
Color therapy is the use of color to affect the body and its energy system in a way as to bring it back into balance. We all know how color can affect us. Have you ever walked into a room and either hated, loved or were drawn into the room due to the color on the wall?
Studies on the effect of the use of colors on the wall have been down in prisons and hospitals. While it was found that shades of red made prisoners more agitated and aggressive, colors such as blue were found to be more calming and peaceful.
I have used color therapy in the past on my clients to help elicit the body's natural response to healing.With my knowledge of color therapy, I have been able to use color as a separate modality, or combined with the other modalities that I use such as Reiki.
For this page though, I would like to discus a wonderful way of incorporating color therapy into the Tuning Fork Therapy® healing session. Below is a guideline for you to use in your own healing sessions. Don't be limited by what I say, explore your own modalities and be enriched by your own intuition.
If you would like to share any of your experiences with other students, please drop me an email so that I can add your information to this site. By sharing our knowledge with each other, we all become enriched and society as a whole will benefit.
For this page, I am using the basic 8 piece beginner set to accomplish this healing session. It was my choice as it resonated the most with me. You can try this technique using your own set of tuning forks if you wish. I cannot guarantee the same client reaction as I can with the basic set, the choice is up to you.

Using Tuning Forks with Color Therapy
As you can see in the photograph above, I have laid out 7 pieces of colored cloth over the 7 major Chakra areas.
After I have finished doing this, I will take the 8 piece beginner chakra set and I will start with the middle C tuning fork, strike it, and wave the virbating tines of the fork over the area that is covered with the red cloth. I will do this for a total of three repetitions making sure that I shake off the fork each time.
I will then continue up the body using the following tuning forks:
D-wave the vibrating D tuning fork over the orange area
E-wave the vibrating E tuning fork over the yellow area
F-wave the vibrating F tuning fork over the green area
G-wave the vibrating G tuning fork over the blue area
A-wave the vibrating A tuning fork over the Indigo area
B-wave the vibrating B tuning fork over the Violet area
High C-wave the vibrating High C tuning fork 12" above the crown chakra
Low C-wave the vibrating Low/Middle C tuning fork 12" below the feet chakra
Finish
You can now finish by using either the Low C or the OM tuning fork using the Closing the Session technique as described in the Tuning Fork Therapy® Level One Manual.
