Probably every child has drawn at least one rainbow when being little, some are so fascinated by this natural phenomenon that their parents get a whole collection of rainbow paintings at home.

This fascination in light and color has already led ancient cultures to further explore the characteristics of colored light and thus it came as no surprise that the Egyptian healers used rooms specifically designed to break up the sun’s rays into the seven colors of the spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet to treat their patients for certain conditions. Each color in the visible light spectrum has its own wavelength and its own frequency, which contains a specific energy information and therefore has an healing effect.

In our daily life colors influence us on a conscious as well as on a subconscious level. The colors of our clothes are often chosen on purpose, because we sense that a certain color will support our momentary state of mood. Colors are an important aspect in marketing to reach the subconscious level of target customers.

Peter Mandel, a German Naturopath and health practitioner used the ancient knowledge about colors and combined it with modern findings of science to develop a unique therapy system, called Colorpuncture, which uses colored light on the skin to promote holistic healing of body, soul and spirit. More than 30 years of improvement and research has led to one of Europe’s most popular new holistic healing therapies.

Nowadays more and more people turn to alternative healing methods as they realize that treating the symptoms of a problem won’t address the cause of the illness, which often is connected to unresolved emotional conflicts or traumas in the subconscious.

Physical symptoms are the body’s wake-up call to shift consciousness towards the inside. Unresolved conflicts cause energy blocks, which eventually may lead to disease. But once the conflicts are brought to consciousness, they can be dealt with and resolved – healing can take place on all levels.

With our hectic lifestyle and pressure to perform it is getting quite obvious that already very young children suffer from stress, related to problems within family, school or environment. This stress is stored on a subconscious level and leads to symptoms like sleeping disorders, migraine, aggressivity, learning difficulties, attention deficit, allergies, eczema, or bed wetting just to mention a few.

With Peter Mandel’s Colorpuncture and Energy Emission Analysis ™ the therapist offers a unique way to address not only the symptoms but the root of an illness for each person individually; even though the symptoms of a disease are often the same, the cause is a different one for each of us.

At the beginning of a session a photo of the client’s fingers and toes is taken to determine the state of energetic balance. The analysis of the energy emission is used to find the appropriate treatment sequence that fits best to clear the energetic blocks causing the problem. At the end of a session a control picture is taken to see what changes the body set into motion.

During the Colorpuncture treatment itself colored light is applied according to a specific sequence on meridian points and other body zones via colored glass rods inserted into a hand-held pen-light.

As the body always seeks to restore balance, colored light will help in a gentle, non-invasive way to guide back to a harmonious state of body, soul and spirit.

Children, being much closer connected with their Inner Self, usually respond to this kind of treatment much faster than adults, who have built up years of resistance due to lifelong conditioning.

It always fascinates me how open children are and how straight forward their healing process can be. With small children treatments are likely to be short, only a few sessions are usually needed to either solve the problem or result in a visible improvement.

It is important to mention that an improvement in the child’s health or behavior has also a positive impact on the family life, which in return supports the child in the healing process.

Nevertheless I would also recommend parents to consider this relaxing, subtle yet powerful kind of therapy for themselves either as a holistic healing method, to maintain a harmonious balance of body, mind and soul, or to receive direction in one’s own search of life purpose and last but not least simply to relax, reconnect and…enjoy.
