What is Colour Light Therapy?

We are all in essence beings of light. Colour Light Therapy is a holographic healing method which uses coloured light to release physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances at the cellular level. It is gentle, profoundly effective and easy to learn. It facilitates healing of the very roots of emotional and physical problems. The memories of past traumas are held in our cells and affect the way we respond physically and psychologically to present events.

Scientific research has proven that the cells of the body naturally communicate through light. Using a torch with 11 different colours of quartz glass rods, coloured light is applied to the skin on specific points or zones, similar to those on the acupuncture meridians. The frequency of each colour carries a particular healing message, which the cells absorb and transmit to each other. As the healing message is received, the causes of disharmony are released. The person begins remembering and resonating with their natural capacity for health and well-being.

The School of Awakening Colour Light Therapy method has its roots in the teachings of Naturopath Peter Mandel from Germany. Using his precision Colorpuncture technique, we then enhance it with dialoguing, emotional release, dream-work and meditation to create a deeply supportive and transforming journey.

Colour Light Therapy can be used for the relief of physical symptoms and can also be used as a spiritual path, cleansing you of anything which prevents you from living in the light of your own highest potential.

Where does Colour Light Therapy come from?

About 30 years ago the German Naturopath, Peter Mandel, invented the Colourpuncture treatments and Perlux torch that are used in Colour Light Therapy. Sarita from the School of Awakening was apprenticed to Peter for seven years, learning and teaching Colourpuncture. She subsequently added her own techniques of dialoguing, emotional release, hypnosis, picture diagnosis, dream work and meditation to make the Colour Light Therapy method first offered by our School in 1999.

How does Colour Light Therapy work?

Cells communicate via light and light travels along the meridians in the body – by placing coloured light on the acupuncture points you give the cells the information they need for health and balance. For more detailed explanation see the article The Science of Light here...

What is Colourpuncture?

Colourpuncture is the method of using a light torch to treat acupuncture points and other points on the body, which was developed by German Naturopath, Peter Mandel as part of his Esogetic medicine health system.

How is Colour Light Therapy different from Colourpuncture?

In Colour Light Therapy we use the Colourpuncture treatments and torch as a starting point and we then add Dialoguing, emotional release, picture diagnosis, hypnosis, dream work and meditation.

With these additional elements, we perhaps focus more on facilitating understanding of the emotional and soul issues causing ill health and assisting you to consciously release those issues. In Colourpuncture there may be more of a clinical approach with a greater focus on medical issues, and an emphasis on using Kirlian pictures for diagnosis.

In Colour Light Therapy we also specialise in personal transformation work and include personal development as part of our training approach.

What is Dialoguing?

Dialoguing is one of the key developments which Sarita has added to Colourpuncture. It is a hypnosis-based technique to help deal with reactions to Colour Light treatments. The therapist has a verbal dialogue with the client. In this, the client’s focused attention inside the body becomes a gateway to communicate with the unconscious mind and with the cellular intelligence of the body. This brings understanding and awareness to the deep root causes of emotional and physical problems, meaning they can be released consciously, often with emotional expression. Thus the body doesn’t have to do all the work itself and you can avoid having to undergo a healing crisis.

How is Colour Light Therapy different from other colour therapies?

Colour Light Therapy is more specific and more direct than general colour therapy, as light is applied in a finely focused beam directly onto points on the skin. It is therefore working faster and deeper than say, applying a coloured scarf or a broad area of light. We also do not spend much time in the training on exploring the meaning of colours or on general colour theory.

What is Colour Light Therapy applicable to?

Colour light therapy can be used to treat a huge range of physical conditions – from a simple headache through to supporting healing from major illnesses. It’s great for balancing the emotions especially when memories of traumatic events are ’trapped’ in the cells of the body. It is also an extremely powerful tool for effecting deep personal transformation – literally shining light into those ‘stuck’ places in our lives. More...
