flicker would make the patient uncomfortable as opposed to comfortable. The level where comfort meets discomfort is the area where treatment can begin. Signs of discomfort may include an emotional reaction, physical discomfort, perceptual distortions and uncomfortable thoughts. If the practitioner can measure the galvanic skin response (GSR) then an increase in GSR, decrease in skin temperature and increase in muscular tension would also indicate patient stress. A sudden increase in discomfort can be resolved by slowing the flicker rate down until the patient relaxes once again. By gradual exposure to an aggravating colour, traumatic memories may begin to surface and can then be dealt with (Breiling, 1996). 3.8.2.4 Intervention Techniques According to Vazquez, should a patient have difficulty dealing with traumatic emotions then there are several techniques which may prove useful. The first and most utilised method is simply to voice all surfacing emotions. This serves as an effective releasing mechanism. Vazquez also suggest a number of eye movement techniques which aid in the movement of emotional energy. The movements of the eyes access certain parts of the brain that allows for faster resolution of emotional traumas. Different breathing techniques, alteration of flicker rate, the use of colours in a descending order (violet to ruby) are also an efficient ways of dealing with problematic emotions. Once the emotional response has decreased then the practitioner may change to other colours. A session is complete when the physical and emotional symptoms have been eliminated or significantly reduced. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to return the patient to a sense of stability and peace once the session is completed. Therefore it is recommended to use the colours of indigo and/or blue to stabilize the patient when the particular issue the patient is presenting with is resolved. The use of colour therapy should be used with caution as it can cause profound reactions in fragile patients. Particular attention must be given®® to the severely depressed and suicidal patient (O’Malley & Nixon, 2005). 3.8.2.5 Patterns of Psycho-Emotional Energy Movement in the Body When working on emotional difficulties during a light session, the emotional reaction is usually accompanied by sensations within the body itself (e.g. the heart palpitations accompanying fear or the sensation of a ‘knot in their stomach’ when anxious). With the gradual resolution of the trauma, Dr. Vazquez has found that these connected sensations tend to move about within the body. According to the majority of cases there are three basic directions in which emotional energy can move. The ideal movement is upwards. For example, should anxiety over a traumatic event be felt in the stomach, a movement of this energy into the chest, then the neck 89
