The sun's rays, according to several healing modalities, have healing powers.  When these rays are passed through a color spectrum the various colors are believed to have positive effects on certain illnesses and injuries.

Color therapists use various techniques to achieve beneficial affects including:

• Visualizing colors through:
  • allowing the sun's rays to pass through colored glass or filters
  • clothing worn
  • colors of surroundings, such as wall color, furniture, rugs, plants, etc.
• Use of special lamps which filter a particular color from a beam of white light and concentrates it on the diseased or affected area
• Placing water in colored glasses, placing in the morning sun for 2 hours, and having the patient then drink the water
• Use of various colored gems and crystals

In Ayurveda different colors are associated with particular chakras (energy centers that traverse the length of the spine and control the flow of energy throughout the body).  It is believed that one of the ways to balance these chakras is by wearing  the associated colored stone.
