Sexual Experiences Using Color Therapy

Chromotherapy
is the use of color and light to bring one health and harmony
by breathing it into the body. If you think color therapy
is a new "holistic" approach, you would be mistaken...
believe it or not, Egyptians actually used color therapy!
They built solarium rooms with various colored glass. The
sun would shine through the colored glass onto the patient
to achieve specific therapeutic benefits. Others used different
colored silk clothes to filter varying shades of light onto
their bodies. There is also evidence of others using colored
waters and colored gels to achieve the same results.

Today,
we know everything that holds energy and color in particular
affects us on many levels through our mind, body and spirit.
Every living thing depends on full spectrum light to be
able to exist. Recent scientific evidence suggests that
light is in fact emitted by every cell in our bodies.
We live in a sea of energy where color is working within
us. Research and observation has shown us that specific
colors bring balance to our physical and emotional systems.

Using color
to effect moods and associations has long been studied and proven.
Think about the color green... many marketers know that it symbolizes
health, rejuvenation, and relaxation. Look at many spa web sites,
food packaging and you will begin to notice that green is used
to convey that message. The essence of green that healthy plants
convey to us creates psychological and emotional reactions in
us without us even being conscious of it.
Chromotherapy
is considered breathing in color. Meaning that you inhale while
visualizing a color. Also helpful is surrounding yourself with
that color from lighting, clothing and decor. But, let's look
at how we can use Chromotherapy for enhancing sexual pleasure.
Using
Color For Sex-
| Your
mental and emotional states are often neglected when it comes
to sex tips these days, and yet the impact of them is enormous.
It is why only 2/3rds of men respond to Viagra... we can't
keep focusing only on the physical aspects of our sexuality
and neglecting that we are a whole person with mental, emotional
and spiritual needs. In order to have the best sex life you
can, you must open your mind to try things that empower, enlighten
and return you to the magic of youthful energy which is and
will always be within you. |

Most people
miss what is going on for them in the moment... we often find
ourselves in this fast paced society eating without even really
tasting our food. We tend to be on automatic pilot missing many
beautiful parts of life... including our sexuality. We all benefit
when we take those extra moments to become more mindful of what
we are doing and enjoy the essence of it. Things such as Tantra
help us to become more connected to our sexuality as well as the
sex acts that we are enjoying.
Becoming more
mindful of each sensation, our breathing, our environment during
sexual activity, whether we are alone or with a partner allows
us to become more highly aroused and more deeply impacted by the
sexual experience. Integrating
color breathing into this process can be a fun way to produce
a desired effect.

Is
This Real?
I know,
this all may sound a bit flaky... that is until you have
tried it. Take a moment and try a little test drive to see
what I mean.
Close
your eyes and choose a color you wish to focus on. Clear
your mind of anything else. Imagine only that color, how
it makes you feel. Imagine yourself swimming in a beautiful
pool of water that is filled with that color as it glows
around you. Imagine the air bathing in this color as sunlight
fills it with effervescent light. Now take a full, deep
breath... breathing it in, breathing in it's essence, filling
your lungs with it. The color flows through your veins as
you take it into your lungs with each deep breath. You bathe
in it, you breathe it, it is flowing through you.
Then
open you eyes and tune into to your mind, body and emotional
state. How did that feel? Was it satisfying to you? Did
you feel the essence of that color?
What
Did You Experience?
If you
didn't you may want to spend a little more time in a relaxing
atmosphere experimenting with it... sometimes people have
a difficult time shutting off their "mind-chatter"
of their daily "to do" list and have a hard time
letting go and really authentically allowing themselves
to take in the energy of color at first.

If you did
feel the benefits, try other colors and see what each feels like
as you do it. The possibilities are endless. Using color for sexual
trauma that has occurred can be a therapeutic way to work through
upsetting memories while using the color to calm and heal. Using
color can also assist in situations like impotence and other areas
of sexual dysfunction. Using it to tap into your inner power and
primal sexuality can provide mental and emotional states that
support one's prowess.
Using
Color During Sexual Experiences
 |
The
next time you are beginning a sexual experience, try using
color therapy by using candles of that color, lingerie, lighting,
and other items to bring certain colors into your environment.
Then begin to experience the pleasure while breathing in the
color you desire taking deep breaths as you fill your body
with it... Before
you know it, you will have a whole new experience with sexuality
through the beauty and rejuvenation that colors bring us. |
