Color therapy is often used in alternative healing involving vibrational medicine. Color is simply one form of visible light…or electromagnetic energy.

EM energy = light…one in the same.
​
All the colors we can see within the visible spectrum carry their own unique vibration of this energy. The color of a crystal or stone plays a really important part in how it will be used for healing.

Color, (or more specifically “light” in various frequencies that we can actually see) is just a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM spectrum). The colors (light frequencies) arrange themselves in order of decreasing vibrational wavelengths. Of these specific light frequencies, red is the longer wavelength (lower frequency) & violet is the shortest wavelength (higher frequency).​
​
Actually…everything on the EM spectrum is a type of light. Just a small part of the spectrum is the visible light that we can see.

The color of a crystal or stone plays a really important part in how it will be used in healing.  Color is much more than just something that’s pretty. We may find that we’re drawn to a specific color, that we often wear the same color, or that just seeing a certain hue makes us feel better, uplifted, joyful.  This makes total sense when you consider that each of our chakras correlates with a specific color:

So how does all this tie into healing with crystals?
In order to understand where on the EM spectrum a stone matches up vibrationally, we simply match its color with its corresponding chakra color. Its color frequency is going to vibrate & match with its color. Making sure you use crystals or stones whose color matches with the chakra colors allows harmonizing photons of light to harmonize & amplify; generating color healing.

Using specific crystals or stones introduces light of specific frequencies–colors–into a person’s electromagnetic field, also known as their aura. This synchronizes a person’s emotional and biochemical states and encourages balance & good health.

For example, you would like to open your throat chakra to help facilitate communication.  Each chakra has a corresponding color associated with it. The colors are really easy to memorize…they follow the order of the colors of the rainbow or you can just refer to that chart above. Blue is the throat chakra color. So you would work with a blue stone: blue lace agate, turquoise, or celestite for instance.

Using color as a way of healing has actually been practiced for a very long time–many ancient cultures utilized this form of therapy & only now has modern science & alternative healing begun to catch up.

There are many ways you can work with a crystal. Just to name a few…

1. You can simply relax with it laying over your throat for 15 minutes
2. You can make a gem elixir with a non-toxic blue stone & drink it
3. You can carry it with you throughout the day
4. Place some stones in places you’ll be spending time in; your work space or bedside table

You can also go beyond crystals and saturate the blue into your surrounding environment by using lights and fabrics. By doing this, you’re infusing a specific color into your entire electromagnetic field (aura) and not just focusing on one chakra. Blue light and blue fabric will help change your emotional & biochemical states in a powerful way. Try it!  Not only does color infuse us with vibrancy and beauty, it’s also a very important part of healing and can be used hand-in-hand with crystals to help us achieve our best potential–physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually as humans.

​Did you know that Kyanite brings ALL the chakras into alignment? The best way to use this stone is in meditation. It can bridge energetic blocks in the aura and emotional blocks between people. It can assist in negotiation/arbitration and other forms of communication between disharmonious people.
