Rose Colored Glasses

Chromotherapy or Color Therapy is a form of vibrational medicine. Vibrational medicine is the use of energy to heal. Color is a form of visible light and light is electromagnetic energy. Each color of the rainbow causes a different reaction. For example:

Red invokes feelings of rage and anger

Blue invokes feelings of calmness and peace

This idea comes into play with feng shui and choosing a color for your room. Painting a whole room red would be a bad idea because if you sit in it for too long, you may become angry.

Would you consider using colored contacts to "color your world" in a way that would make it more conducive to your life? (Would you wear blue tinted contacts to make your life seem calmer?)

Massage

For my 18th birthday, my mom took me to a spa and treated me to a massage. I got a head massage and a foot massage. I was so relaxed and I almost fell asleep.

It didn't occur to me that massage was a form of alternative therapy until I began researching it.

According to the site: massagetherapy.com

"Massage is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness."

Would you consider using massage as a form of therapy?

Detox

I was trying to figure out why everyone talks about "colon cleanse" first rather than other things. A "diet detox" seems more important but then I began reading the information on "The Natural Path" website. It said that cleansing the colon first makes the most sense because it is one of the major organs that gets rid of the "bad stuff" or toxins in your body. After the colon, the kidneys and the liver are also eliminating organs and should be detoxified next.

My cousin Kitt used detoxification to begin her diet. She did the colon cleanse and then began her diet. She found that it worked much better than just trying to diet right away. She has lost over 30 pounds since her detox.

Chelation Therapy

Chelation Therapy is a series of intravenous injections of the synthetic amino acid EDTA, designed to detoxify the body. It can also be used to treat arteriosclerosis. This is an Alternative Therapy that is used in the clinic but is still considered a "non-normal" medical practice.

Rollercaoster Therapy?

So many people talk about having out of body experiences as ways of helping them recooperate from a tramatic event. I would like to propose the idea of rollercoaster therapy... you definitely have an out of body experience while riding a rollercoaster...

The attached video is from my trip to Disneyland with my lacrosse team.



Do you think that could be a form of therapy?

Hyperthermia Therapy

Hyperthermia is commonbly known as heat stroke. Basically it is when you body sweats so much that it has no fluids left to support itself. A controlled hyperthermia is used sometimes to treat illnesses. The patient sits in a sauna and "sweats away the bad things that are inside their body" and then is returned to bed and pumped full of fluids. This is sometimes used to treat cancer. This link shows how that can be done.

Rebirthing Therapy

Rebirthing Therapy is used to treat attachment disorder. Children who are adopted sometimes go through this therapy to create a strengthened bond between themselves and their new parents. Essentially, the child is wrapped in blankets and smothered between pillows on the floor to symbolize the womb of birth. The child is then almost smothered pushed through the hole in the blankets and pillows to be re-born.

This is the story of Candice Newmaker who did not make it through the therapy. She smothered to death.
