Could a dose of the blues lift your spirits?
Scientists have found that exposure to blue light boosts activity in the parts of the brain that handle emotions. They believe the findings could explain why light appears to improve mood in both humans and animals. Blue wavelengths within the spectral rainbow that makes up white light seem chiefly responsible for the effect, the research shows. Blue surroundings increased responses to emotional stimuli in the parts of the brain processing vocal sounds and memories.
Researchers led by Dr Gilles Vandewalle from the University of Liege in Belgium, reported the findings in the journal ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’.

Good to read this today. I am an energy healer who uses color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, in my practice. Classified as a vibrational healing modality, chromotherapy incorporates the use of chi energies within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight, and sound.

Scientists who have have studied color and light extensively, recognize that colors bring about emotional reactions to individuals. Our reactions and attitudes to colors differ from person to person, which makes an interesting study in itself. Understanding why certain colors effect us favorably while others bring about negative feelings helps us along our healing journeys.
