Historical Connections:
Pythagoras - viewed sound and color/light as interconnected as they were based on the same mathematical principles regarding vibration.
Isaac Newton - Discovered the visible light spectrum as used today by refracting light through a glass prism. Theorized connections between sound and color.
A common ancient & New-Age belief that the body is made of vibrational energy of which color and sound are made as well.
Emotional, psychological or physical ailments are thought to be “energetic blocks”, and therefore, by receiving visual and/or audio vibrations from sound or color aimed at the block in the body (or energetic mind-body), the symptoms could then be alleviated or cured.
color-sound connection
the primary theory used in Spectrasomatics is the connection between the color wheel and the musical scale by Isaac Newton.
NEWTON'S THEORY OF COLOR & SOUND:
hypothesized that color stimuli were conveyed to the brain by vibrations in the optic nerve
claimed that division of the spectrum into seven colors is analogous to the seven major keys in the diatonic scale of music
With respect to Newton’s scale, the ideas behind Spectrasomatics connects:
Red with the Key of D
Orange with the Key of E
Yellow with the Key of F
Green with the Key of G
Blue with the Key of A
Indigo with the Key of B
Purple with the Key of C

By connecting:
color wheel
musical scale
chakras
Connections are made visible to specific body regions.
This informs different movements to practice in the methodology of Spectrasomatics.
What happens when we move a part of the body in aligned to its connected chakra color and sound?
