Green is also a soothing and cooling color that can help to stabilize the emotions and rebuild the tissues. It is the color of energy, hope and new life. There are many ways for the color therapist to apply the properly colored light to the patient. Sometimes a color crystal torch is used by the therapist to transmit the chosen color onto the patient's body. Other techniques are direct light, gems, jewelry, perfume, clothing and colored glass.
