Have you been intrigued by the use of color for healing purposes?

Most of us have been fascinated by colors since early childhood, and color has provided a great deal of the backdrop, substance and texture of our lives ever since. Each time we choose clothes to wear, decorate our living space, select foods to eat, enjoy the beauty of nature and enjoy any form of visual art we are intimately interacting with color wavelengths of light. Chinese medicine has shown for thousands of years that each of our organs express and is nurtured by specific colors, and the vibratory frequency of each chakra can be visualized as a color or mixture of colors. Research has shown that color selection of walls, lighting and decorations make huge differences in behavior of psychiatric hospital patients.

Color has been used by some innovative researchers and practitioners to expand the effectiveness of acupuncture therapies. Peter Mandel, a German naturopath, originated the system called Colorpuncture, which consists of applying various colors of light through special light pens onto patterns of acupuncture points. This system has many far-reaching mind-body effects. Manaka of Japan taught his students how to apply dots of color to five-element points to balance the Meridian system. I have personally investigated many applications of color light therapy through the acupuncture system and also found many powerful effects.

After many years of such practice and research, I now commonly perform color light acupuncture by applying two complementary colors per session, applying them to two related dysfunctional organs or chakras to bring them into balance. Before describing how to do this therapy, I will first explain a bit about what complementary colors are.
