Color Therapy
An excerpt from Muraqaba:The
Art and Science of Sufi Meditation
By Shaykh
Everything that exists in this world is dominated by one or more colors. Nothing is of no color. Chemistry tells us that if any element goes through changes, it emits specific colors. This order of the colors is the basic characteristic of any element. That is why in every element the order of colors is different. The same rule applies to humans as well. A well-organized system of colors and waves works in humans. The balance of those colors and waves controls the overall health of the individual. Changing color affects the mood of the individual as well.
Colors also play an important role in the fields of emotions and feelings. It is our daily observation that when someone hears bad or tragic news, he or she gets pale. Fear also changes the color while during anger, eyes and face becomes red.
When the color of the room is red, it creates a feeling of burden or heaviness, but if the same room is colored blue then peace and serenity is felt. Greenery and colorful flowers help us get rid of mental and physical fatigue. However, when the same trees become leafless during autumn our feelings change as well.
The theory of
colors and lights states that those specific amounts of colors
are prevalent not only in the physical body of humans but in their senses
as well. If for any given reason, the system of colors is changed or any
specific color is increased or decreased or their ratio is changed, it leads
to a change of feelings and emotions in an individual.
In the spiritual science,
the color code is intentionally changed in a student so that his or
her mind could come close to the subconscious senses. Continued
practice of Muraqaba also helps in improving coloration in the
senses. It is imperative that changes in the colors be done solely to
improve or to awaken any specific skill. When supplementing colors and
lights are not used to improve any specific sense, then normal senses are
affected by it. A spiritual master always keeps his eyes on the progress of
his student. When needed he can adjust the ratio of colors using his
spiritual discretion. So that the consciousness remain functional with those
changes in colors and light.
On the other hand, when these changes occur in an individual abnormally then the body malfunctions and usually manifests in physical or psychological disorders. These disorders are usually labeled as general diseases or ailments like hypertension, anemia, asthma, cancer, arthritis, nervous and sensory or emotional disorders.
According to the spiritual science, only an expert spiritual master decides what color of light needs changing. In these decisions the personality type, mental strength, way of thinking, physical form and other factors are taken into consideration.
Using Muraqaba, the following are the different methods of absorbing light of any particular color in an individual.
METHOD-1: Sit in a comfortable position and imagine the waves of color and light and being absorbed by the whole body.
METHOD-2: During the Muraqaba imagine that from the sky the waves of color and light are falling and are being absorbed into your brain.
METHOD-3: During the Muraqaba imagine the entire surrounding environment lit with the same light.
METHOD-4: Imagine that you are immersed in the river of that light.
Physiologically
, each color of light has its own attributes. When the Muraqaba of a certain color of light is performed, it causes chemical changes in the brain, which enables it to absorb as much as possible the light of that color. Since medical and psychological disorders are not the subject matter of this book, we are not going to discuss this matter in detail. However, we will present Muraqabas of color and light for such psychological disorders that occur because of mental confusions and paranoia.BLUE LIGHT
:Blue lights are instrumental in getting rid of mental disorders, neck and back pain, vertebra malfunctions, depression, inferiority complex, and weak willpower.
The correct way to do the Muraqaba is as follows:
Imagine that you are sitting beneath the sky and the blue light is falling from the sky into your head and after passing through your entire body is going to the earth through the feet.
CASE HISTORY
Mr. Jamiluddin from Lahore, Pakistan wrote:
I have been doing the Muraqaba of blue lights for my back and neck pain as prescribed by you. The first day the image of blue lights was a bit dim but the next day I felt a stream of blue light entering my brain from the sky. I felt my whole brain was filled with that light. Then these lights entered my heart, then through the stomach went to my feet, and finally were descending through the floor. My vision went towards the light, which was entering the ground. I felt as if the lights leaving my body were more impure than the one entering my body. A thought came to my mind that the exiting lights are taking the ailment with them. After doing this Muraqaba for about 15 minutes I felt light. After the end of the Muraqaba I also felt the pain had lessened. Now after a whole month of doing the Muraqaba, the pain is gone.
Ms. Razia Sultana from Tando Adam, Sindh wrote:
For the last three years, I had depression. I used to get hopelessness all the time without any obvious reason. I was aware of happiness however; my life was void of it.
The Muraqaba of blue light has turned my world upside down. Within six weeks of continuing Muraqaba I am feeling happy after a long time. Obviously, the blue lights have turned away the waves of sadness from me.
Muhammad Hamid from Karachi, Pakistan wrote:
I am twenty years old and a college student. My willpower is so weak that I have become impractical. I do not have the confidence of initiating conversation with anyone in college. I have not been able to correct this problem…please help!
The author of this book prescribed the Muraqaba of blue light for him. A month later he responded in these words:
Dear Shaykh Azeemi,
No doubt, you do care for the creatures of God. Your prescribed blue color Muraqaba has revolutionized my life. During this past one month, my personality is totally changed. Now I am a normal healthy young man. I have great confidence. Below is the short version of my Muraqaba report.
REPORT
:On the first day, I was not able to concentrate. A stream of thoughts kept coming to my mind. Acting on your advice I did not pay attention to them. Then one day the image of the sky appeared and the blue light. Then for the next few days, the image appeared as if the blue lights from the sky were falling on my head like a searchlight and being absorbed by my heart. Then after that for a few days I saw my whole body was made of blue lights. I noticed that after each Muraqaba I felt very light. Slowly and steady, I was able to gain confidence and now I can talk to anyone like a normal person. I am feeling though a new me is born. I am still practicing the blue-light Muraqaba and planning to keep on doing it for a while.
