The team at The Trend Curve(tm) has always been fascinated with the topic of color healing. We have researched, read and reveled in the potential for color vibration to impact mood. In fact, several years ago we released a product called Color = Emotion(tm), a mini-deck of colors plus suggestions for how color makes us feel. It was a best seller, which told us that many of our readers are also interested in the less obvious impact of color.
Color healing has always existed, beginning with the birth of light into our world. Scientific study of color has revealed endless truths about our relationship to color: physically, psychologically, even spiritually. So color is not just about aesthetics, it is also about wellness.
As interest in Color Healing continues to grow among consumers, there are numerous sources available for those who want to expand their knowledge of this topic. Leah Pennig, staff writer, has compiled a list of The Trend Curve’s favorite books dedicated to this fascinating subject. Her reviews of each are below.

Colour Healing: Chromotherapy And How It Works
Mary Anderson

Mary Bassano

Our bodies are much like musical instruments, in the sense that they need regular “tuning.” Every color has a corresponding note, and each one of us has our own personal note, too. Find yours! Includes information on crystals and auras.
Color Medicine

Ghadali, a pioneer in the science of color healing. This book also contains a helpful A-Z index of symptoms, noting the appropriate color “prescription.”
