Golden Light: A Journey with Advanced Colorworks
Julianne Bien

The publication of Julianne Bien's Golden Light is certainly timely. As color light therapies are being embraced by alternative and even some conventional practitioners, she reminds us that the potential of harnessing color energy for our own betterment is infinitely greater than the commercial pain-relieving tools for which it is being touted. Of course there is nothing wrong with relieving pain, especially since color light therapy is non-toxic, non-radioactive and non-invasive and thus remarkably easy to apply.

However, there is a risk people will conclude there is nothing more to it than shining a red laser on an aching joint, when in fact a shade of red is just one color frequency among millions, and each frequency has its own innate potential for humanity. Blues, for example, are cooling and soothing. Greens are calming and peaceful, and don't all of us need more green in our lives. Read this book and you'll get a whole new appreciation of color. The universal power of light energy, Color Harmonics, as Bien calls her holistic and far-reach application of color energy, is the giver of all life. Harnessing the power opens us up to almost limitless opportunities to improve our spiritual, emotional and physical existence. Imagine a power so great that it empowers us, and in so doing increases our power of self-determination. Imagine a healing power that lets us rid ourselves of old emotional and spiritual scars at the root of current and as yet undiagnosed future problems. Bien's quest is to help each of us harness this power through a new understanding of universe as multidimensional and energy-based.

Bien takes us on a journey of exploration across the color spectrum, explaining how different colors produce different outcomes while providing us with protocols with which to harness the power of each, individually or in combinations. The body is effective at absorbing and storing energy in a way that can lead to energy blockages that become a precursor for disease or distress. Using Biens protocols, the user learns not only to disperse those blockages but to maintain a healthy energy balance that will stand us in good stead for the rest of our lives. As a relative novice in color energy healing, I found the book excited me about the potential of color energy work.

Bien provides basic preparatory techniques that can improve outcomes for novice and even experienced color energy users. She deals with down-to-earth problems of everyday life in an approachable manner. If you want nothing more than to troubleshoot specific physical or emotional conditions, the book has much to offer. I suspect, however, that those who set the most holistic and far-reaching self-improvement goals and pursue color energy work at an advanced level will reap far greater rewards.

A must read for all color enthusiasts worldwide
