These are five easy ways you can incorporate and use color therapy in your daily life: 

Bathing your body in a specific color can have wondrous effects.  Not literally during a bath but by the way of a specialized light box.  They can be purchased on-line or in specialized stores and provide you will a full spectrum light.  Most come with several colored filters you can use to complement different areas of your life.  Try a red filter for confidence, power and energy.  Try a green filter for compassion and sympathy. 

Color breathing is a way to incorporate color therapy with daily meditation sessions.  Stand with your arms at your side and feet slightly apart.  Breath in through your nose, hold for a moment and out through your mouth.  Focus on your breaths and the release of negative energies and toxins from your body on each outward breath.  Work through visualizing breathing in colors, starting with colors of the earth – red, orange and yellow.  Imagine breathing in the color and feel its energy as it fills your body from your feet to your head and back to your feet exiting into the earth.  Move on to green, visualize in the same manor but imagine the green energy entering through your chest, filling your body and exiting through your back.  Then to blue, indigo and violet - absorb through the top of your head, picture it
