Interview 'Wholistic VI' : www.ambernaturally.com

Q: There are many paths to understanding the deeper nature of health / oneself; so why should people try colour therapy?
A.  The universe is a flow of energy; light is energy and colour is a frequency of light.  Colour is therefore an innate part of us, which is why we respond to it so well.  Colour is a universal language; and therefore its capacity for insight and healing is very natural.

Q. So…. how exactly did you choose to become involved in the world of colour therapy? What training or path did you take?
A: It was more that I realised I already was! My relationship with colour  has always been strong; from constantly colouring as a small child, even naturally drawing sacred geometric shapes; to deciding at 11 to be a makeup artist.

 Then one day, in California, I got asked to do some bodypainting by a friend. I painted these girls who I had only just met (at dawn on a cliff top!) and for once being allowed free flow without a clients input I realised I could ‘read’ their energy. I was describing their personalities by the shape of my brush strokes and the colour that intuitively flowed. Purely synchronistically I met someone there who was studying colour and went to stay with his teacher. She makes coloured auric sprays with flower remedies in, which all come to her through deep meditation.

At her home in the San Ynnes mountains I spent time learning more in depth meaning to what I had been doing naturally, and her way of placing the bottles as a divinatory tool, (much like Tarot). I began to trust my own inner voice and realised that the clairaudient information I was being given just got louder if I didn’t convey it to the person.

So my way of doing things became part ‘reading’ ; part curative; as in the vibration of the colour ,  but also designed to have an experience of reconnection with Self, when they look in the mirror and ‘see’ themselves and their own inner beauty revealed.

 So I called it Synergy Bodypainting; ie the coming together of many elements.

The path led to helping to develop The Original Light Table; a vibrational healing tool, and taking it from prototype to mark 4, which we promoted all over California. The main energy matrix of this is colour and I found myself mingling with numerous experts who I also did mini readings for using the bottles (sometimes up to 14 people a night) so my ease grew.

Since then I have learnt from many colour systems, the most powerful being Metatronic healing, in which I have been attuned to ‘new ‘ colour frequencies, (something akin to higher Reiki energy) which is amazing! Totally blows your socks off (or should I say your crown!) 

Ultimately though, I trust my intuition, as I believe that when I ‘get myself out of the way ‘ I am connecting directly to source without influence.

Q.What can people expect?  Please describe your method of colour therapy and how you go about a consultation ...
A: I honed the 'Synergy Bodypainting' to a 2-hour session, they sit opposite me in comfortable trousers and I pain waist up.  The space is kept sacred.  It reveals the persons hidden talents and inner strengths, highlighting everything from career direction to health issues - a confirmation to them of what they might be considering.  Also dissipating (through painted colour) the energy of old physical issues that may be energetically stuck.  Even 1% in the right direction is a good thing.  I also use the colours from their choice of bottle to introduce to the overall picture and rebalance and re-energise them - like recalibrating.

Or I very often do sessions on the 'Light Table' where even simply lying on it for 10min rebalances the aura.  It allows me to observe the persons energy and work intuitively; physically grounding, or energising, through basic acupressure points.  I often receive 'messages' regarding certain blockages which can facilitate insight.  From there I can guide them through a 'Metatronic session', where I am even able to see the colour of the blockage internally and observe how it changes as I guide them to experience it being removed (with Angelic assistance of course).
The feeling of seeing something of beauty (themselves, not my artwork!) I liken to seeing a cathedral window .. that moment of awe creates a gap in consiousness, where thinking turns to connection, but it is still external: when they look at themselves, however, it is direct and makes a much deeper connection to source.

Or, I can do a reading from the 'Light bottles' to illuminate a particular issue or simply observe 'where they are at'.  This can be done in person or even over the phone from the colours the client chooses around them, which is just a matter of clarifying the hue..

Q.  What types of people visit you?
A: big variety really, from mothers to psychics; anyone who is open but not necessarily those who have any colour experience.
- The 'Light Table' is often used by those who simply want to deeply relax.
- 'Synergy Bodypainting' tends to attract mainly women, especially pregnant women who wish to honour their body at this special time.This is fabulous as I believe it is so important to awaken all women's ability to feel their divine femininity; to empower them to see their own inner beauty because so much of our culture is geared towards a certain 'magazine image' of women.  This is why I call myself an INNER BEAUTY MAKEUP ARTIST, I believe that if you see beauty, you feel full of beauty.  I literally paint someones inner beauty using the amazing power of colour!
- 'Colour Readings' - where people choose their own colours, are requested by anyone looking for insight into a particular issue.
- 'Metatronic Healing' is the way forward for those who have a particular pattern they want to shift.
In summary though, I believe people are drawn to the right modality at the right time, in this wonderful web we weave.

Q. Do people tend to have a one-off session or do they return again and again?
A. Clients often return again, as there are many layers to healing.  However, the Synergy Bodypainting tends to be a one-off, as it is so revealing.

Q. Have you had many success stories?
A. Yes!  Sometimes it's the simplest things like being more creative to unblock stuck energy in the wrist or to someone beginning to release major trauma.  Readings can confirm to someone where they are at, so that a particular path becomes illuminated.  But the most wonderful results are when I see someone who previously felt self-critical, look in the mirror and suddenlyfeel an aesthetic emotion, and carry that away with them feeling whole and connected to their divine self. 
This awareness promotes good health as the vibration of gratitude for who you truely are encourages the body to stay in energetic flow.

Q. At the moment we are coming up to the darkest days leading up to the Winter Solstice; is there an increase in people coming to see you to combat SAD/winter depression?
A. Yes, there is an increased need for more colour in winter but what we need is full-spectrum light and any form of visualisation can aid this.  Just seeing yourself stepping into the light of a Rainbow and receiving what you need, will naturally create a chain-reaction of good vibes!  Cell by cell, throughout your body, lifting the depressionassociated with winter darkness.  Our subconcious is a powerful tool, it really doesn't possess the power the discriminate between real from imagined, so if you are able to convince it that you are receiving rainbow light then it will respond as if it is.  This is why I use guided visualisation so often with clients, literally painting a picture in ones imagination, because the body definitely benefits from feeling connected, whole and lifted.

Q. What is the history of Colour Therapy?  Has the nature of it changed much over time?
A.  Colour Therapy has many forms and is definitely an an ancient art based on ancient principles.  Tribes people worldwide have always decorated the body with colours to show status, stages and to heal. 
Personal examples of this is that I once painted shapes on a clients shoulders only to later see the same shapes tattooed on someone elses shoulders who said it was an ancient Patagonian protection symbol - I intuitively tapped into this energy... I have also had visions in deep meditation where I have seen myself healing with rainbow light flowing out of my hands in somewhere I can only describe as looking like Atlantis.
Time has changed the technology of therapy; different ways to direct light more specifically, but the body will accept what it needs to and disregard what it doesn't.  I think we all intuitively understand colour in the same way.

Q.  Are the colours that are selected also applicable to interior design?  Everyday clotheswear?  Light beam therapy?  Chakra meditations?  What exactly are we talking here, how should people use 'their' colours???
A. When I paint I don't select the colours as such.  The colours that people are drawn to can apply to homes or clothes.  More often though, it's the colours that people leave out that they need the most; the flip side!
If you are repelled by yellow, you are probably suffering from anxiety and worry and it may take time to work through this.  Having yellow flowers in the home or a yellow scarf for instance could shift you. Similarly a red umbrella will affect your mood (and therefore your wellbeing) in a much more positive way than a black one on a grey day.
Coloured light, through beam tools, applied to specific acupressure points can have a tremendous effect internally, or on burns or skin conditions.  But I have found the 'Light Table' and its inbuilt energy energy matrix can do this much more naturally as the body simply takes the light it needs.
Chakra meditations or meditating on any colour will allow healing to occur.

Q.  As I know you personally and admire your great enthusiasm in embracing life in all its glory, please tell us about any colourful plans you may have looming .......
A.  I am about to start a 'Colourful Inner Beauty Blog', in which I will give colour meditations and all things to do with leading a colourful life.... of being present to the beauty we all truly are; with the aim of making the world a more colourful, beautiful and enriching place to be; with our true radiant selves glowing in the beauty that is found in good health and vitality, joy and love.
I am also very excited about a book collaboration and even a makeup range which will enhance, rather than mask, inner beauty!
Lets all be a shining light!!
with Love, Amber.
