Colour Therapy with Reiki

Updated: Aug 24, 2022

Reiki & Colour Therapy - Violet, Indigo & Yellow.

Following the completion of my recent Diploma, I wanted to share the key properties of each colour so we can all benefit in our daily lives. What I learnt is very much going to enhance my Reiki Practice, I often see colours during a session and now feel better equipped to understand their true meaning. It is important to keep in mind that all colours are beautiful and if you have an adversity to a colour then it is worth investigating why and where the distance originates from. 


Incorporating the use of colour with Reiki is about achieving a greater understanding of their meanings, affects on our moods & health. If a client has a particular attraction to a certain colour or a colour keeps showing up during treatment then it can help to understand the underlying feelings or issues they could be experiencing. This can be both positive and negative, for example, if they are drawn to yellow & are feeling inspired and happy then it is clear this colour is helping to enhance their feelings of joy and self-acceptance. Remember to look for the positive traits as well as any negative associations with colours by your clients. 


The frequency of each colour is measured in Terahertz which are equivalent to one trillion cycles per second. The wavelength is measured in nanometers, one meter is the same as 1,000,000,000 nanometers and one nanometer is equivalent to ten atoms in a row. Each colour has a complimentary colour and is affectively the second half of a pair.


Violet or Purple

The colour wheel starts with Violet, the main colour of spirituality, self-knowledge and spiritual awareness. It's complimentary colour is Yellow & it is the highest colour on the visible spectrum. Violet is regarded as a cool colour, with a very calming effect and so aids with stress and sleep difficulties. On the flip side it can aggravate people suffering from depression.


In colour & art therapy it aids meditation and treatments & therapies as it reduces mental blocks, ensuring a stronger experience for the recipient.

Positive Traits:                                                                                            Negative:

Great mental powers                                                                                 Morbid interest in the darker elements of spiritual awakening or awareness

Strong humanitarian beliefs and actions                                                Broken contact with reality

Idealism                                                                                                       No concern for others

Next is Indigo, the colour of intuition and perception and it is great for concentration during meditation and introspection. If you feel drawn to this colour it could mean you desire structure to function fully otherwise you feel off balance. It is linked to people on the autism spectrum, as they function better with structure and organisation in their lives. Using Indigo in the home creates a balanced environment and when incorporated into treatment rooms it  aids those looking to reach further beyond their limits.
