During the early twentieth century, Rudolph Steiner investigated the therapeutic uses of colour, relating colour to form, shape and sound. Steiner's work was continued by Theo Gimbel, who established the Hygeia Studios and College of Colour therapy in Britain.

Sadly, Theo Gimble passed away on June 21, 2004. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to first learn about colour from Theo Gimbel, when attending his lectures and courses. I urge you to read his books and to find out for yourselves how the use colour can help and support you.

Colour

Theo Gimbel is a pioneer in the field of colour research and colour healing. His inspiration comes from Goethe's theory of colour and its development and application by Rudolf Steiner. He re-awakened interest in colour and light therapy in the 1970s and instituted many of the now well-practised methods of diagnosis and colour application. In 1984, Theo Gimbel founded the International Association of Colour, now a world-recognised organisation.

"As a result of the slightest change, either voluntary or involuntary, the aura patterns dance and vibrate, change colour to some extent and reflect all that goes on in a person."

"Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy or colorology, is an alternative medicine method. It is claimed that a therapist trained in chromotherapy can use color and light to balance energy wherever a person's body be lacking, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental."
