Esogetic Colorpuncture: A Complete Aculight Therapy System for Body, Mind and Spirit

By Manohar Croke
(Excerpts from article published in Acupuncture Today, June 2002, Vol. 03, Issue 06)

History and Development of Esogetic Colorpuncture Therapy

Starting in the 1970s, Colorpuncture inventor Peter Mandel began integrating theoretical and empirical data on the effects of color, the philosophy of Chinese medicine and the latest findings of modern photon physics. A lengthy professional association with German biophysicist Fritz Albert Popp provided Mandel with the theoretical basis for his work. In his studies of human cell communication, Popp demonstrated that normal living cells emit a steady stream of photons (particles of light) called biophotons. Popp hypothesized that these act as carriers of information in living organisms, and that a cell will show an increase emission of biophotons (and disturbed information flow) whenever its functions are no longer in a state of balance. Further, the change in the biophoton emissions of one cell will eventually disturb the biophoton emissions in neighboring cells (imagine a pebble dropped in a pond with its spreading ripples). This change from harmoniously oscillating light eventually leads to incoherence and disease.1 Mandel went one step further by suggesting that these cellular changes also eventually affect the electrical receptivity of related zones and acupoints on the surface of the skin.

Given that human cells exhibit energetic properties of light, and that light and color have a modifying effect on the body's system of energetic information, it seemed obvious to Mandel that the informational properties of light and color could be used to restore coherence and health. Furthermore, given his training in acupuncture and the existing research indicating that meridians actually channel light, Mandel felt that the system of acupuncture, with its skin points of meridians, was the best means of introducing light into the energetic anatomy. Through extensive experimentation, Mandel determined that certain acupoints displayed a particular affinity to certain colors. Starting with the basic primary and secondary colors (red, green, blue, orange, yellow and violet), he developed treatments using these complementary (warm and cool) colors to balance bipolar acupoints. This, he said, was the birth of Colorpuncture and allowed for a highly differentiated means of affecting the yin-yang balance between complementary pairs of points.2

ESOGETIC COLORPUNCTURE

Esogetic Colorpuncture is a system of color aculight therapy that combines energetic principles of Chinese medicine with modern discoveries about the biophysics of light.

Unlike acupuncture, there are no needles involved and no puncturing of the skin. Colorpuncture is non-invasive, painfree and uses light to heal. Colorpuncture uses acupuncture points and other body points to transmit light through the body’s energy pathways.  The light restores cellular communication and supports the body’s healing process.

Very subtle and extremely powerful, Colorpuncture is a revolutionary advance in holistic healing and one of Europe’s most popular new alternative healing modalities. German scientist and naturopath Peter Mandel developed Esogetic Colorpuncture after 40 years of intensive empirical research. He coined the term esogetics to describe his holistic paradigm for healing, referring to the "merger of esoteric wisdom of life with the energetic principles of life's processes."

Scientists researching biophotons are now discovering that light is actually the medium by which cells communicate, and is at the very basis of many bodily functions. Colopuncture is based on these emerging discoveries.

In a Colorpuncture treatment, the practitioner uses a handheld aculight tool to focus frequencies of colored light on the client’s skin. Each color consists of precise wavelength frequencies of light, communicating different energetic information. Treatments include a specific set of points in a sequence, using a prescribed pattern of colors. As the light is absorbed by the skin and transmitted along energetic pathways or meridians, it stimulates intracellular communication, which supports healing.

At the beginning of the session, the therapist will ask what areas you might like to work on. Also, a Kirlian photograph will be taken, indicating energetic imbalances. Based on your answers and your Kirlian photograph, you and the therapist agree on an individualized treatment plan, which may include treatments described below. A Kirlian photo taken at the end of each session demonstrates areas of balance restoration.

Colorpuncture Detoxification $85 for 60 minutes
A variety of treatments for detoxification focus light signals that help accelerate lymphatic drainage and activate the body's natural detoxification processes. In Esogneic Colorpuncture, the lymphatic system is viewed as the repository for old emotional toxins as well as physical toxins, so emotional clearing occurs as well.

Colorpuncture Coordination Therapies $85 for 60 minutes
A range of treatments address different parts of the brain and glandular system. They energetically balance and clean the "hardware" that is responsible for regulating most of our bodily functions.

Colorpuncture Pain Therapies $85 for 60 minutes
Colorpuncture developer Peter Mandel developed a large number of infrared or ultraviolet light therapies that work primarily with reflex zones and body mapping. Since the roots of pain often lie deep in the emotions and the unconscious mind, many Colorpuncture pain therapies address underlying issues in the body-mind.

Colorpuncture Prenatal Therapy $85 for 60 minutes
Many of our patterns for ill health actually begin with traumas that occur during the prenatal period. These powerful therapies clear such patterns, opening the way for healthier body mind growth and development.

Colorpuncture Meridian Therapies $85 for 60 minutes
These treatments balance energy flow in the body based on traditional Chinese medicine meridian pathways. They also address unconscious emotional burdens and psychic issues that may be affecting the meridians.

Colorpuncture Dream Zone Therapy $85 for 60 minutes
Dreaming helps clear mental garbage, freeing channels of the brain for the flow of overriding information. In dream zones, we also gain access to the higher self and receive information about our life program. Dream Zone Therapy helps activate dreaming.

Colorpuncture Emotional Conflict Resolution Therapy $85 for 60 minutes
Illness is often related to unresolved emotional conflicts from the past. Buried deep in our unconscious, these conflicts can create disturbances in our energy system which in turn creates physical problems. This therapy brings unresolved conflicts to consciousness for release and resolution, preventing impact on physical health.

Treatment Possibilities Using Esogetic Colorpuncture

Perhaps most interesting, Colorpuncture emphasizes the interplay of body, mind and spirit by addressing the deeper causes of illness. In addition to relieving bodily symptoms, many treatments gently "unwind" and release any traumas, emotional scars, and negative beliefs that are held in the subtle energy body and contribute to a constant state of imbalance and ill health. One example is therapy to clear traumatic imprints from the prenatal period of life, imprints which Mandel believes often set the patient up for health problems later in life. Another example, conflict solution therapy, is designed to bring up and release the unprocessed emotions of past conflicts, which Mandel believes are often imprinted in the lower recesses of the brain and can, over time, severely weaken the immune system.

Esogetics: A New Paradigm of Healing

Mandel coined the term esogetics to describe his holistic paradigm for healing. The term refers to the "merger of esoteric wisdom of life with the energetic principles of life's processes."

A common theme in many esoteric doctrines is that each human being, as a soul, comes to this life to manifest a unique potential or life path. In Mandel's esogetic paradigm, illness and pain are seen as signals that the individual may be blocked in their ability to manifest their potential or may have become distracted from their life path. From this perspective, lasting healing results require not only the elimination of symptoms, but that the patients be brought back in touch with who they are and why they are here. This is why esogetic colorpuncture focuses extensively on expanding consciousness, clearing traumatic imprints and supporting the evolution of the individual. To quote Peter Mandel, "Esogetics is intended to help remove existing blockages and disorders, so one can travel one's life path freely and lightheartedly."
