Berachah Colour Healing Centre is on the slopes of Glastonbury Tor, an ancient mystical Celtic site. It is built in an orchard which was originally part of Chalice Orchard, where Dion Fortune, the occultist and writer, used to live and work. The house stands on the site of her Temple, and holds transforming energy.

Berachah overlooks the red, iron-based healing waters of The Chalice Well and Gardens, and is next to the calcium-based healing waters of the White Spring.

Berachah means a place of special spiritual blessing. We offer healing retreats in our Colour Rooms.

Colours have been used in all civilisations throughout recorded history for healing and promoting mental, spiritual and emotional growth. From the ancient Colour Healing Temples of Egypt and Greece, to today's Colour Psychology and scientific research, the effects of colour prove to be subtle and powerful. All atoms in the Universe are vibrating at different frequencies. Each colour vibrates at its own particular frequency, stimulating the body areas most responsive to that colour.

Jan Billings, Colour Therapist, Artist and Astrologer, works at Berachah Colour Healing Centre, Glastonbury. Her career began as Textile Designer and creative skills as a Colour Therapist started in the early Eighties. Jan's work, whilst visually pleasing and colourful to the eye, reaches a deeper level of resonance within those who come into contact with her paintings, silk hangings, scarves glasseware and cards. Much of Jan's creativity concentrates on the chakra levels of the human body. As many will know, the body resonates to seven main colour vibrations, each carrying a particular sound frequency and vibrating to one of the chakra centres within the body.

The colours range from red at the base chakra through to violet at the crown. Every one has an individual colour frequency and by tuning into that frequency, you can be helped to access your own healing ability. Furthermore, if you surround yourself in the appropriate colour, it will enable you to function at a reduced level of stress, thus bringing you into harmony and balance.

If you find yourself constantly under pressure, you would for instance, benefit greatly from wearing or surrounding yourself with something of the blue colour. If you lack vitality and energy, you would be enhanced by using or wearing something which carries the red frequency. If you wish to reach a greater degree of balance, you would benefit from wearing green.
