Welcome to Art and Wisdom of Light - Mount Laurel, NJ

The earliest techniques in Indian Ayervedic medicine also relied heavily on the use of color.

The 7 basic colors in the spectrum – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple -  were correlated by Hindu traditions to the human energy field’s 7 main chakras (or energy centers), beginning with red at the base and ending with purple at the crown.

A 10th century physician and disciple of Aristotle, Avicenna, determined that color was an observable symptom of disease and the therapeutic use of the opposite color could bring about balance and the elimination of the illness.

Sir Isaac Newton created a sensation in 1675 with his paper, Hypothesis of Light, and the composition of white light. French scientist, Rene Descarte concluded that the pineal gland was ‘the seat of the soul’; the light meter for the body and the creating gland for the hormone melatonin and the ‘connector to God’.

In the late 1800’s Dr. Seth Pancoast and Dr. Edwin Babbitt both contributed significantly to the understanding of light’s ability to heal. Dr. Babbitt resurrected the ancient technique of solar elixirs (solar-charged liquids) in the treatment of many traditionally unresponsive conditions.

A 20th century physician, Dr. Dinshah Ghadiali, introduced color healing to the United States while Dr. Niels Finsen won the Nobel Prize for his landmark research on the healing ability of ultraviolet light in the treatment of tuberculosis of the skin. The works of Albert Einstein, Max Plank and Rudolph Steiner gave proof that sunlight and its composite color vibrations correct physical disease-causing imbalances. Dr. Harry Spitler, John Ott, Dr. Peter Mandel and Dr. Jacob Liebermann have further refined color healing modalities and added the influence of color treatments directly through the eye.

Color psychology has grown into a major marketing field for television, stage, movies and product sales as the influence of color on emotions began to emerge. Every product’s marketing campaign revolves around creating a color scheme that will elicit the proper response from the consumers.  Hospitals, schools, factories and even prisons use colors to evoke more positive responses.  Color is a constant part of our life.

Today there are many doctors and color therapy practitioners around the world treating patients with color and light.  Endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, brain surgeons, bio-chemists, optical engineers, psychiatrists and philosophers are studying light and its effects on the brain, eye, physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. The evidence is overwhelming that the body has within it a divine network of inner light, emitting and receiving light.

While science actively pursues the influence of Light, the deeper and more significant quality of Light is coming from the divine source of which we are all a part.
