About the author

Ted Andrews was an internationally recognized author, storyteller, teacher, and mystic. A leader in the human potential, metaphysical, and psychic fields, he wrote over 36 books which have been translated into more than two dozen foreign languages. He was featured on many national and local TV and radio programs every year. He won more Visionary Awards than any other author.

Ted was a worldwide acclaimed speaker and teacher. He presented sold-out seminars to thousands of people throughout the US and Canada every year, and his appearances were just as popular and in demand in the United Kingdom, Europe and parts of Asia. In May 2002 he was specially invited to speak to the UNSRC at the United Nations in New York for his writings and work with animals.

This award-winning and best-selling author was involved in the serious study of the esoteric and occult for more than 40 years, and he brought to the field an extensive formal and informal education. He served the public school system for ten years as a teacher and counselor, 7 of which were spent working with disadvantaged students, creating a special needs reading program for which he received both local and state recognition.

Called a true Renaissance man, Ted was trained in music, playing the piano since the age of 12. He composed, performed and produced the music for ten audiocassettes. He could even scratch out a tune or two on the violin/fiddle. He was a longtime student of sacred dance, ballet and Kung Fu. Ted was also schooled in a variety of related holistic healing modalities, including music therapy, herbology, hypnotherapy, acupressure and other alternative techniques. A clairvoyant since childhood, he was also a certified spiritualist medium for nearly 30 years.

Probably best known for his work with animals, Ted held state and federal permits to work with birds of prey. He performed wildlife rescue and worked in wildlife rehabilitation and education. He conducted animal education and storytelling programs with his animals in school classrooms throughout the year, giving freely of his own time and expense to help young people discover the wonder of animals and nature. In his spare time, he enjoyed hanging out with his menagerie of animals, training and playing with his horses and ballroom dancing.

I got this book in a charity shop, I'm not sure why I picked it up. I thought at the time this is going to be hippy dippy junk. I read it thinking this is really silly a colour that can help my back-ache. However I was in pain so I decided why not try it, even if it's to prove what I already suspect.

I was shocked to find that it worked. I read the entire book, trying the various color remedies out on my friends and family. Finding color does has an impact on your health. It'a not a miracle book claiming to cure terminal or serious illness. However I now believe in the power of color. I always believed color can help influence moods and feelings, but I never thought color could influence health and well being. I have completely changed my mind on this matter. It's one of my best little charity shop finds!

(It's not an entertaining read. It's more like a reference book.)

Another great read by Ted Andrews.

I like how his books are intertwined, linked, and work together.

He writes so everyone can understand.

Lots of great exercises and meditations.

A must read for those who are interested in the healing arts.

Well written and perfect to expand your knowledge on the topic of healing with color. It mainly focuses on meditation but does include other options such as candles and water (though this does have an emphasis on visualization still). Overall, great resource on the topic.

A great beginners guide to working with color healing. This book offers basic information about colors and specific strategies to use in order to benefit from the healing properties of colors. I will use the information learned in the book to level up my healing abilities.

Comprehensive and helpful.

Some of this was a bit too “woo-woo” for me, but still has some usable information about using color for meditation and overall healing.

I bought this second-hand, not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the information and will be referencing it in my healing modalities

This is an outstanding introduction into the energy, colour vibration and the many of uses of colour in healing. I read it many years ago as an absolute beginner and have been able to apply the concept to help others. I've also combined colour with personal development to teach transformational topics.

Especially good tip, using cool blue light to help with headaches.

If you are fascinated by the way colours make you feel and you want to know more, this is the book. I would highly recommend all of Ted Andrews books in this series.

I read this book because I was interested in light therapy. Something like get outside for your 20 minutes of Vitamin D everyday. But this book was a bit "out-there" for me because I wasn't really ready for its content. I will keep it on hand as an interesting reference for color and maybe turn to it for useful tips in the future. I ended it with a breeze read just checking for things that might prove useful in the future. I found the reference and usefulness of the chakra points interesting.

Not what I was expecting (which was more how does color effect mood, tone, or tenor in a room) but nonetheless an interesting take on how color may impact healing and/or illness.

I am not knowledgeable enough about chakras, and /or metaphysical medicine to give this book a fair review, but it certainly appears that the author is passionate and committed to the subject. Interesting stuff!

Yay for color therapy! It's a really great! Give it a whirl. Again, Ted goes into explicit detail in this book...using light to heal, using candles, color in your meditations, stones, chakra balancing...it's a great lil book!

[M.E. Neidhardt · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd love to experiment more with healing with color. I truly believe it can work, however I did not see the results I was hoping for with my elderly German Shepherd back when I ordered the book. The problem was probably more on my end. This book, or one like it, is definitely worth reading.
