Colour Breathing combines many forms of holistic treatment, which have been universally practised for thousands of years:

" The use of colour, which is a healing vibration in itself.
" The chakras-energy centres along our spinal columns-which affect our state of health. These have been well documented over thousands of years in Eastern and Indian cultures.
" Focus on the breath, used widely in many meditation practices.
" The use of the affirmative words, "I am." Affirmations are positive statements which may affect the way we feel.

By using the set of the Colour Breathing Disks, self relaxation becomes easy:

" You don't have to "think of a colour" in order to relax yourself, as in creative visualisation techniques. You already have a set of seven Colour Breathing disks on which to focus.
" Each disk has been specifically designed to relax each chakra or area of the body.
" You focus on your breath whilst looking at each disk and breathe the colour in and out.
" Without realising it, you are working with your body's energy centres and are able to relax yourself into a meditative state when needed.

The Colour Breathing disks have also been found to work on a subliminal level - you don't even have to consciously try to practice Colour Breathing - keep a set next to your computer at work and give yourself a break from looking at the screen and "take in" your chosen colour! Their vibrant, yet calming colours have also been found in trials to help people concentrate and think more clearly.

What does a group session involve?

" You will each sit with an Easel Board Book in front of you containing all the coloured discs and will look at each of these colours in turn.
" We will then briefly talk about where the energy centres are along the spine and colour corresponds to.
" We will do a short grounding exercise and become aware of their surroundings.
" We will then either use the Colour Breathing C/D or I will use the music C/D and read you through the exercise.
" We will start with the red disc, we will breath in and out the colour and some positive affirmations will be incorporated into the wording. We will end on the Magenta Disc. You may wish to place your hand on the energy centres as we move up the body.
" We will then protect and ground ourselves.
" You will then slowly be brought back into the room.
" You will then drink some water and have chance to discuss anything you felt (optional).

What does an individual session involve?

" The client has the opportunity to choose the affirmations used for their own individual needs.
" We spend time noticing reactions to colours, how they make the client feel and how much they like the colour. We will also look at what the colour reminds them of and what they like or dislike about the colours.
" We then make our all assessment of the colours looking at reaction, enjoyment and how relaxing colours are, looking at highest and lowest scores. This can give a good indication to the clients well being.
" We then follow the same colour breathing routine as used in the group sessions.
