COLOUR THERAPY Colour therapy uses colours to make you feel good. How does colour therapy work? Colour produces energy. Every colour has got a different amount of energy. The energy makes the air move. Strong colours, like red and purple, move fast and make you feel active or excited. Calm colours, like green and blue, move slowly. They haven’t got a lot of energy.

How does a therapist use colour therapy? First, the therapist shows you many colours and asks you to choose three. Your choice shows how you feel. The colours show if you are sensitive, optimistic, stubborn or sad, and many other things.

Then, the therapist uses your colours to help you feel good. Therapists sometimes shine a coloured light on your body or ask you to think about the colours. They advise you to wear certain colours and even to eat food with certain colours.

Many people say colour therapy works for them. Do you want to try it?
