PHILIPPA WOODSFORD

I qualified as a colour therapist back in the summer of 2004 and used this along with Reiki and Crystals to vastly improve my own health. Colour therapy is a very effective way to balance the chakra, lift ones mood and improve our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. Colour therapy is a very effective treatment using simple yet effective methods such as colour meditations, fabrics, colour intentions essential oils, light (cromatherapy or irradiation) & crystals.

Since developing my mediumship and psychic readings to a higher degree I have learnt how to read aura's more effectively and I now work these two therapies together to form a highly effective and informative therapy session. I have always loved colour and find it so effective to work with.  

For the first consultation will take anything from 1-2 hours and is completed in 2 parts.

I firstly scan your aura and note the 4 main colours, their brightness, shade and order of appearance. Then we will go through a colour questionnaire together. I maybe making alot of notes at this stage so please be patient...it will all be worth it in the end.  

I will give you a full colour reading using the colours in your aura, my psychic abilities, and the results to the answers you give in the colour questionnaire. 

Following the reading I will make a plan for the colour therapy session. (We can do this on the same day or arrange for another session) I will use one or more of the following methods to balance the chakra and bring harmony to the colours in your aura and therefore your life.

Relaxation

Meditation techniques, 

Crystals

Fabrics

Chromatherapy / Irradiation (Light)

Coloured cards

Essential oils 

Some people find one full session followed by one or two therapy sessions is enough to set them back on the right track. Others feel they need much more. The choice is yours and we will re-assess your needs at every session.

Each session is totally personal to you and will be tailored to suit your needs.

I am able to conduct these sessions, including the readings hands on, via the internet or on the phone!

One of my most popular treatments is the Chakra Balancing Treatment.

Chakra Balancing takes around 20 minutes and helps to rid our energy system of unwanted negative energy and restore the balance of peace and harmony. Helping us to make the most of the universal energy that is vital to life, health and vitality!

If there is a disruption in our energy system it will, eventually, manifest itself in our physical body causing illness and or pain. If the energy stops flowing all together...it is time to leave this world and move on to the next!

A simple chakra balance can be done with crystals, colour meditation or Healing and is a non invasive and safe therapy. The relaxation alone is beneficial to calming the mind and restoring alittle peace in this busy world!

So what exactly are our Chakra's and why are they so important?

Most Eastern teachings mention seven major Chakras, which are depicted as lotus flowers of differing numbers of petals, each situated along the course of the spine from our base (coccyx or perineum) to our crown. Each one resonates at a different frequency and corresponds to the colours of the rainbow.

There are said to be many minor chakras, the primary ones of importance in Reiki practice being those on the palms of the hands and those on the soles of the feet.

When all chakras are spinning in harmony with each other and at the same speed, then we are in a state of balance and maintain physical, emotional and metal wellbeing. However, if one or more of the Chakras becomes unbalanced or changes speed or direction, generally as a consequence of the stresses and strains we encounter in daily living, then we become unbalanced and may present physical, emotional or mental symptoms of ill health.  Harmony and balance can be achieved through Chakra balancing, using a number of techniques, including Reiki

Here is a brief outline of the location, colour reference and function of each of the Seven Major Chakras:

Base Chakra – Red – Located at the base of the spine, this is the foci of physical vitality and stabilising energy. Helps to keep you grounded and connected to mother earth. Relates to skin, bones, growth, security, stability, ability to stay and work things out. Can become unbalanced if we are overly concerned with earthly issues like money, power etc. This chakra is responsible for aggression in people who's chakra is too open or over stimulated.

Sacral Chakra – Orange – Located just below the navel, it affects the adrenal glands and it’s the foci for personal development and sexuality. Relates to reproductive organs. organs responsible for waste elimination, emotions relating to family/loved ones. When this chakra becomes unbalanced we may suffer from sexual problems (either way), inability to conceive. Creativity blocks. Free expression dificulties etc.   

Solar Plexus – Yellow – Located just above the navel, it affects metabolic and vital energy; psychological and emotional energy flow and the ability to complete. Relates to liver, pancreas, diaphram, spleen, stomach, upper digestive system. If it becomes imbalance it can affetc how we react to situaltions and is the root of problems like: Anxiety, depression, feelings of fear, courage, ability or inability to finish tasks, staying power, fight or flight mechanism.

Heart Chakra - -pink or green- Located on the sternum over the heart, it relates to being able to receive and give love freely, higher spiritual experience of compassion and clairsentience (gut feeling). This is the fourth chakra and is the beginning of our attachment to Divinity.

Relates to all matters of the heart. Lower respirity organs. Ability to give and receive love freely. If this chakra becomes imbalanced we maybe unable to accept love without guilt, give love without resentment or experience true love for ourselves.

Throat Chakra – Blue – Located near the thyroid gland, it affects communication with others and relates to the cycle of giving and receiving to all that surrounds you. Relates to respiritory organs. Throat, nose, mouth, ears. Gives us the wisdom to speak lovingly from the heart with true meaning. If unbalanced can reslut in many physical illnesses like throat/ear infections. Colds, flu, respiritory and general infections. We may also become too soft with others and unable to tell them when they are hurting us or it could go the other way and we could say hurtful things that we dont really mean! 

Third Eye Chakra - Indigo – Located slightly above and between the eyebrows, it provides you with a strong sense of purpose and/or intuition. Relates to major gands in the brain, intuition, self talk, natural endorphins and self awareness. If this chakra becomes inbalanced we may suffer from hormonal problems, lack of self guidance, inability to make decisions and stick to them, migraine headaches, visual disturbances, ear infections, vertigo and balance both physically and mentally.

Crown Chakra – violet – Located at the very top of your head, it gives the ability to recognise self-actualisation. Known for Intuition, clarity of mind, enlightenment and spirituality it gives you the sense of harmony and happiness for what you have achieved. Also linked with the endocrine system. This chakra is linked directly with the Divine and if it becomes inbalanced it can affect the amount of vital life force energy we receive. Few people achieve true balance within this chakra but once achieved it is said that person can know total relaxation and peace of mind. They can freely converse with Spirit and are at one with themselves and the world. Something we can all strive for!

As you see, each of the chakra have a specific job to do and regulates areas of our physical health, emotional and mental state and controls our personality trates.

For instance your root chakra regulates your testoterone levels hence some people are more agressive than others when this chakra is un-balanced. It also links closely with your bones, teeth, skin, hair, blood etc so any illnesses/problems with these areas may also be linked to the root chakra. Our materialistic side is also regulated by this chakra and  a healthy root chakra brings balance to our health, relationships, emotions, mental health, finances, stability etc. As you can now see...something as simple as an energy imbalance can have quite drastic consequences on our lives form all angles!

When one chakra is out of balance it is often the case that the next one is eventually knocked out to. If this problem is prolonged then each chakra can be knocked out of balance one after another until they are all wildly dis-harmonised bringing a whole host of problems to the sufferer.

As well as seeking professional help one can make small but significant changes in ones own life to re-create that state of balance. Simple steps like healthy eating, wearing colour, using crystals, relaxation, visualisation techniques and exercise can all make that vital difference and help to re-address the balance of our energy.

Often when we have physical pain and yet medically there is nothing wrong it is because one or more o the chakra have become unbalanced. It usually takes a long time for negative energy to manifest itself as illness but not always.

Some people find physical pain easier to cope with than emotional pain. For instance, many people with unexplained abdominal pain for example have experienced a trauma or series of negative 'blows' that eventually effect the reproductive organs, kidneys and adrenals or large bowel. Someimes an organ is removed or observed through surgery but the pain persists afterward.

This is because the pain is emotional and not physical. However emotional pain does not usually stop us from doing whatever we are doing. we cover it up, push it to the back of our minds and truck on anyhow! And yet, physical pain  is the only pain that usually makes us stop and make life changes to correct it! This seems odd as emotional, mental or spiritual pain can be just as debilitating as physical pain but we are conditioned to ignor them.

This negative energy that we have ignored eventually builds to such a point that is causes mass distruction within our bodies and inevitably results in the manifestation of physical illness's like arthritis, cancer, bowel blockages and impairment in the functions of many vital organs. the place of manifestation often corrolates to the same chakra as the emotional zzzt originated from. (See chart)

Of course the manifestation of illness does not always have to be catastrophic. Nor does it mean a permanent ailment. The problems arising could be as simple as an anoying dry skin complaint. Fungal infection. Migraine headaches. Anxiety, light or serious depression, unexplined joint pain, mild tummy upsets etc. All of which can be controlled to a certain extent with relaxation, drugs, exersize, or changes to the diet.

However the most effective way of avoiding or at the very least reducing the chances of developing these illnesses and worse, is to recognise a problem as it arises and deal with it effectively. If left too late...some illnesses can not be removed at all.

Question: -"If you knew now that in 10 or 20years time you would have a high possibility of contracting a serious disease but had the chance to lower those chances if you acted now. What action would you take? Any? Non? 

None of us can predict the future and as Doris day once sang, "What will be will be". However looking after your entire energy system now could change your future for the better and give you strength, immunity, and the ability to live a long, happy and healthy life! It is not good enough to be wise after the event!

So look after yourself and your family in the best way that you can, for a brighter future!

I wish you long life and good health!
