How to choose the right color when experiencing Light and Sound Stimulation

How to choose the right color when experiencing Light and Sound Stimulation

Light and sound instruments entrain brainwaves according to the program you have selected. Begin by selecting a program from your light and sound instrument’s owners guide. Next, select a color appropriate for the program you’ve selected. The simplest way to choose a color is to pick one that either has an energizing effect, or one that is relaxing.

Choose a color that elicits an emotional response corresponding to the purpose of your session. If you are interested in letting go of the stressors of the day, find a color that is soothing for you. If you want to be more focused and attentive, find a color that is stimulating for you. You will find that colors very quickly impact how you feel, enabling you to be able to quickly find a color that is right for you. 

For many years choosing a color was easy. You choose red. That’s all light and sound manufacturers made. Then came green, then a combination of both, then every color became available.

Yellow, orange and red are viewed as ’warm’ colors and are stimulating (excitatory). These colors are often utilized when experiencing sessions containing higher frequencies such as beta. “Cool” colors like green, blue and violet are calming (inhibitory). These colors are most often used with light and sound sessions having lower frequency stimulation, targeting the deeper brainwave states known as alpha, theta and delta. Although any color of light would deliver the benefits of a light and sound session, specific colors will help get you there faster, even more deeply. When you are considering the various colors, wondering which color would best apply to your specific need and what a particular color is normally associated with, here is a generally accepted generic guide: use the color blue for delta (sleep / clearing); use green for theta(meditation / visualization); for alpha (learning / relaxation) use yellow; and for beta (focus / energy) use orange or red. 

Even though we all think and are affected differently by pulsed light stimulation, certain colors appear to work best, in a generalized kind of way, for helping to enhance certain abilities or to achieve certain sensations and emotions. Based on feedback from light and sound participants these past twenty-eight years, here are the most common colors for pulsed light and what they are used for:

Red – invigoration, extroversion, strength, activity, vitality, energy, action. Red provides a wide range of colorful visuals for most people.

Orange – subconscious, relationships, interaction, creativity, change, sexual, social. Although soft and subtle, orange can invigorate and energize the light and sound listener. Some- times referred to as the color Amber, it falls between red and yellow. If you find the color red too intense and green too dim, try this color.

Yellow – concentration, learning, thinking, idealism, memory, sunny, focus. Yellow is highly recommended for soft , yet subtle light and sound experiences. The color yellow is considered to be excellent for use while studying.

White – effective for working with imagery, relaxation and visualization. White generates a richness in colors and sense of dimension that no other pulsed color can imitate. White can attain a brightness intensity similar to red while generating color pulsations that appear to float before your eyes. White light is the most popular color used, offering full spectrum stimulation to ensure that the red, green and blue cones of the retina receive full stimulation similar to the natural light spectrum.

Green – compassion, revitalizing, peaceful, renewal, calming, balance, healing, love. Preferred by those experiencing certain degrees of light sensitivity. The color green is associated with nature and with heightening the emotional qualities of the heart.

Blue – use for communication, contemplation, contentment, meditation, relaxation, sensitivity, creativity and sleep. Blue will generate a profound sense of calmness and a feeling of deep relaxation and is believed to contribute to the creation of ordered thought and harmonious moods. 

There is no exact method for choosing the correct color. While color impacts your neurochemistry when shined into your eyes and affects cellular activity when shined onto your skin, there are additional factors, including social predispositions and psychological issues. The social and psychological factors defy the persistence of science to precisely define how to use color. Hence, you will need to fine-tune using color based on your own personal experiences.
