The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Sir Isaac Newton scientifically verified the existence of colour within natural daylight in the 1670's. He passed light through a prism which split the natural white ray of light into seven colours: red,orange,yellow,green,sky blue, indigo, and violet. This can be seen naturally in a rainbow where droplets of water act like a prism by splitting the white ray into the seven coloured rays of the spectrum.

Newton's studies were purely scientific his work on colour moved the focus away from the esoteric aspects that had previously been explored, researched and documented for many thousands of years by the ancient mystery schools in Greece and Egypt.

However science is essential in helping us to understand and evidence the theory behind Colour Therapy.

Light and in turn colour are electromagnetic waves that move at different speeds. Red has a slow long wavelength; violet at the other end of the visible spectrum has a shorter and faster wavelength.

Infra-red and radio waves are present at the red end of the spectrum but are invisible to the eye as are ultra-violet and gamma waves at the violet end.

Colour Therapy works with the visible spectrum.
