Amazing Benefits of Full Spectrum Color + Light Frequency Therapy

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” – Arthur C. Clarke

This is the second in a three-part newsletter series about the AMAZING things Caitlin and I learned about sound and light frequency healing through our work with our Harmonic Egg®.

I’m a long-form writer in a sound-bite world

The Idea of Resonance

Just as people in ancient cultures recognized a therapeutic effect with sound healing, people from around the world noted synergistic and therapeutic effects of color.

Additionally, Pythagoras (570BC-490BC), the father of mathematics, proposed that specific colors corresponded to particular musical notes or intervals. This idea linked colors to the mathematical ratios he found in music. It’s crazy that this idea has been out there for (at least) around 2500 years.

The fundamental idea of resonance is that when something vibrates at a frequency that matches the natural frequency of another object, it can transfer energy efficiently, causing the second object to vibrate more intensely.

Living human cells have frequencies at which they naturally vibrate and resonate when exposed to sound, light, and color frequencies.

In ancient India, scholars and practitioners recognized that different areas of the body resonate with particular colors and created the chakra system. This system correlates different areas of the body with colors in the order of the visible spectrum – beginning with red at the “root” chakra up through violet/purple with the “crown” chakra.

Barbara Hero, MIT mathematician, found that the colors that Pythagoras ascribed to musical tones, when generated by computers, actually produce their complementary colors.

Essentially, chakras absorb the seven spectrum colors in sequence and emit their complements. For instance, Red vibrates at 256 Hz, its color complement is turqoise, and it is related to the pitch of middle C.

As someone who has practiced yoga for 20+ years, I’m ashamed to admit that I never really noticed the connection of the organization of the color spectrum with the chakra system. The colors associated with the chakras reflect the same organization as a rainbow (or light passing through a prism) with red – the lowest vibration – at the bottom, and purple / violet – the highest vibration – at the top.

People in ancient India perhaps did not know specific color vibrations, but they recognized that when sunlight passes through a prism, the colors are separated and organized in same way.

Color + Light Frequency Therapy Benefits

The Harmonic Egg® uses low level light therapy (LLLT), which has been shown to influence the nervous system and can have profound effects for a multitude of issues.

One NIH study found that, for example, exposure to LLLT showed it is “able to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, support repair and healing, and enhance stem cell growth and proliferation.”

Red light therapy is having its moment, so to speak, and is being used to increase cell energy and improve circulation. It is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cells and potentially promote healing.

Red is just one color we have available with the Harmonic Egg… The colors used in the Harmonic Egg are those in the visible spectrum, which vibrate between 397 trillion (red) and 665 trillion (violet) times per second. These frequencies are offered to help blocked or restricted areas of energy flow.

Color itself does not heal, but rather enables the body to heal itself.

Here are a few abbreviated examples of the therapeutic power of colored light:

Red – Aids in awakening the senses and the liver, stimulates the generation of blood and aiding general circulation. Activates the nervous system.

Orange – Stimulates the respiratory system, increases circulation, bone growth and the thyroid. May be helpful in reducing musculoskeletal pain.

Yellow – Enhances focus and creativity, improves the digestive system, and tones the muscles.

Green – Calms the body and mind and promotes balance.

Blue – Promotes relaxation, builds vitality and activates the pineal gland. May help with sleep.

Violet – calms the metabolic process, most overactive organs, and the nerves.

Why Does This Matter?

Light and color therapy has a profound impact on the nervous system.

When exposed to chronic stress, many of us reside in the “fight or flight” (sympathetic) side of the central nervous system. We have low vagal tone, and are essentially unable to properly rest or digest. Many of us find ourselves more susceptible to autoimmune conditions, high blood pressure, cardiac ailments, and a myriad of other symptoms.

Exposure to Low Level Light Therapy calms the nervous system, turning on a relaxation response which can help any health condition that is caused or worsened by chronic stress. Since it is estimated that stress is the root cause of most diseases, we believe the list of ailments and conditions is vast.

Caitlin and I were trained in the use of both sound and color/light therapy in the Harmonic Egg® for specific conditions. By combining both light and sound, the positive effect upon the body is amplified and healing is accelerated.

The Harmonic Egg contains specially engineered, near full spectrum, mercury-free LED lights. Inside the Egg, there is one panel below and another panel above where you are seated in the zero gravity chair.

The panels can be set to the same color, or to two different colors depending on your area of concern and intention for the session. Your eyes do not have to be open to receive the benefit of the colored light. We’ll tuck you in with a blanket, and you can just sit back and relax.
