Working with healing colors is as flexible as the wind, as each individual person has their own characteristics. A dark red may work better with one type of person, compared to a pink in another, but with the color RED described as the color to be applied. Each color has a wide range of colors within its single color spectrum, making each individual their own best color therapist, or using a professional color therapist who knows you very well with excellent communication between.

The thing to remember is that all chakras need all colors at one time or another based on the problem area in mind, even though a particular chakra has a specific color assigned to it. The color white has all colors of light in it, which is why it is considered a purifying light. Not only is it strengthening, but before healing it will purify the body. Any color therapy work practiced on the body should have at least 15 minutes of applied white light prior to the session and at the end to remove all impurities for the color spectrum to work, enabling it to work on the entire energy system. If the body is acting up and you don't feel quite right, apply the white light alone to yourself as it contains every color---very seldom can you go wrong with it.

LIGHT AFFECTS THE SEXES DIFFERENT

Some people take Advil, some take Ibuprofen, while others take Tylenol. Each one swears by what works for them as a cure-all for everyone else. Color therapy applies its healing modalities in the exact same manner. But we need to remember that each person has a different frequency to run by, requiring different medicine, different foods, different therapy sessions, and healing tools to work the best—depending on the belief system of that individual that same as with men and women.

What works for one will not work in the same manner for another, so it is best to 'know thyself to see what works and what doesn't. It has been proven that a big strong man wearing a pink shirt appeals to women tremendously, as they feel it brings out the 'softer side of them. Statistics show that a man in a pink shirt is more apt to get a date than a man in a dark blue or black shirt.

Now, some men may be extremely uncomfortable about wearing this shirt as they view it as feministic, while to others it means no big deal. But there are many situations involved in the pink shirt scenario - it could have been a gift from the wife, the girlfriend, or whatever. And in actuality the color may not be working for the man psychologically but either the husband or boyfriend may feel obligated to wear it, or maybe even the single man checking out the statistics to see if he can get a date!
