"I am a Being of Light"

Kamla Kamla Deva, practitioner and teacher at the School of Awakening, tells us how she came to learn Colour Light Therapy and describes her early successes which brought her to pass on her skills.

A message from the superconscious

For me, Colour Light Therapy started with a dream in the night, one of those dreams that bring guidance from beyond the conscious mind. It left me with a vivid message: "I am a being of light."

A friend was setting up courses in Colour Light Therapy, and knew that I was seeking, but had not found, the next step in my learning as a healer. She lent me the book Colour Me Healing by Jack Allanach. The very first line of the book said: "We know today that man, essentially, is a being of light." Bingo! I rang and booked the course there and then!

I didn’t know exactly what it was or how I would pay for it – I just knew it was what I’d been looking for. I gobbled up the book, reading it straight through. Everything made sense – the way the light works in the body, how it goes to the roots of a problem to overcome mental barriers.

At the end, the book gave the name of the company making the light sets – I had the same name as them – Kamla.

On the first day of the Foundation course I had an intense healing crisis – a migraine. I’d had these before, but quite unlike the past, the next day I was astonished to be fine – and I felt better and clearer than I ever had. By the end of the weekend I was in love with the work.

As I heard about all the many series that would be taught in future courses I was amazed and delighted to have found such a simple but comprehensive treatment method.

Ignoring obstacles

I came back from the Foundation course desperately eager to get my own torch – I couldn’t afford one beforehand – and knowing that I simply had to carry on with the practitioner training.

I decided to ask people to sponsor me to pay for my training and equipment and in return I would give them a treatment as a thank you for their support. I wrote over 50 letters and got the money I needed.

I started giving Colour Light treatments to my sponsors. It worked. They liked it and wanted more and some then booked whole series of sessions and became regular clients.

Friends were also willing guinea pigs for me to practise on and I found that even very small treatments had a profound effect. A simple emotional balancing treatment led to a friend experiencing a vivid past life, which gave an insight into how to resolve his current life difficulties.

My brother-in-law visited having had very bad back pain for several days. Although very sceptical, he was willing to let me practise on him. Stiffly and very carefully he climbed onto the treatment couch and we chatted while I gave him a pain treatment – a few points on the face. Still chatting, he just got off the couch afterwards without thinking about it and when I asked him about his back he was shocked to realise that he couldn’t find the pain no matter what way he bent and twisted – it had just gone!

Early successes

I went on to take the practitioner training and practised more and more on my friends and sponsors with lots of success stories.

Julia had chronic daily pain for years, which could not be explained medically. After experiencing a profound healing in her session she left feeling refreshed. Three months later I heard she was still pain-free.
Juliet felt very stuck in an abusive relationship and a Colour Light Therapy session gave her the insights and courage to face the need to move on. A few months later she was happier, with a newfound independence, living in her own home and enjoying her new job.
James, a musician, was shy and reclusive because of his bad eczema and was unable to work. He received a series of nine Prenatal sessions and at the end of them said that his old ‘self’ had died and he felt ‘reborn’. His eczema improved, he was able to make new friends and get a job and began a new life in a different part of the country, following his dream of recording and performing his own music.

"Nothing happened, but..."

I went through a deep healing process myself as I received and gave the treatments we learned and began helping and assisting on the trainings. I worked with clients who experienced releases of emotions and deep understandings of issues in their lives that they’d never been able to access before.

Other people had a less dramatic experience in their sessions, but still made deep changes. I remember one person who said "nothing really happened – but since the last session I’ve cleaned out my junk room so I can do my craft work, and I’ve painted the kitchen and I’ve put the house up for sale".

Sometimes things would change in quite unexpected ways – a friend came for a series of ’unhooking’ treatments to free him from the ‘struggle’ he felt with work and money. At the end of the series he saw that he needed to make changes in his relationship first – the main ‘struggle’ of his life in fact – this paved the way for him later to become more fulfilled and successful in his work.

Light beyond illusion

My own strongest experience was in the Transmitter Relays – a series of 12 sessions working at cleaning many levels of the being. I released a lot of emotions – anger, laughter, sadness, numbness – and went through a strong physical cleaning too – more migraines!

I understood clearly the lessons that were being learned in my failing marriage and the need to move on. I came to realise how a past life involving opium addiction was affecting my current life struggles with food addiction. At a certain point in the series I faced a deep well of grief and sadness and was encouraged to dive right into it. I did so and found that I didn’t drown in grief, as I had feared. Instead I found that there was light on the other side – a profound experience of Maya, the illusion of pain and suffering and an understanding that light is at the centre of everything in existence.

As we went on with the series it became obvious that I needed to continue my spiritual journey by travelling to India.

A new life

After the Transmitter Relays series it was as though my old mental habits and thought routines had lost their traditional pathways in my brain. I would start to go into a reaction to something and it was as though coming to the edge of a field where there used to be a well-worn footpath and finding the field had been ploughed up – no path any more. I would simply shrug and smile to myself and drop whatever it was that previously would have led to a big mental drama or emotional upset.

When I returned home I found that the struggles within my marriage had melted away – there was just love and friendship between us and we could part easily and amicably. Within a few months I had left my husband, left my office job, sold the house and furniture, re-homed the cats and booked my ticket to India.

I gave more and more sessions and began living the life I had dreamed of, doing healing work and feeling that anything was possible. I found myself living happily in India with a new lover having the kind of relationship I’d always wanted. I went through a spiritual and emotional rebirth with parts of myself that had been buried for a long time re-emerging softly in the shelter of an Indian garden cottage.

A loving spiritual family

For me as for many others, being on the training was like finding a loving spiritual family – we went to such deep places together. And had a lot of fun, too.

Now for some years a teacher myself it’s one of my greatest pleasures to see how the students become lighter from level to level (they change so much I’ve literally not recognised someone) and to hear about new careers, new homes, new relationships, stopping smoking or losing weight with no effort, leaving unsatisfying jobs and marriages behind, embracing a new spiritual path, going travelling or greater financial success.
