How to do chromotherapy at home

​Color therapy is based on the idea that color and colored lights can help treat physical and mental health issues. Colored lights can affect our bodies, our pain levels, and our moods. Meditation with colored light can improve your mental well-being. Each color has a different effect, and by using light of different colors we can stimulate new emotions.

Set up a calm, dark and comfortable place for five minutes of meditation. Light a scented candle and have your Bluetooth speaker and a water bottle nearby – hydration is always a must. Change the light’s colors following the waves of the sunrise to sunset, trying to live in rhythm with nature.

 

  • Morning: Feel grounded. Double inhale through the nose, and a single slow exhale through the mouth. Choose pink, purple or blue and uplifting music.
  • Afternoon: Body scan. Quick exhale through the nose, pumping stomach muscles and inhale through the nose. White, off-white and yellow light with happy soul-nourishing music.
  • Evening: Feel gratitude. Inhale through the nose in three seconds, then exhale for six seconds. Allow for a three-second pause. Set red, orange or yellow and combine with binaural beats for relaxation.

Escape into the calmness of colors and scents

It doesn’t take our senses too much effort to find an escape. The colors and scents of the room can help you find your peace and calm when you need them. Play with different colors and scents to find the combination that works for you, then let yourself be immersed in the mood.

Comfort and hydration – essentials for a healthier “me-time”

Before setting aside time to disconnect from daily routines and worries, make sure to get the essentials in place. Stay hydrated by having a water bottle at hand at all times. Set your bed with comfy cushions and bed linen. Once you lie down, enjoy the relaxing setup you've created.
