Colors

        "How often do you notice the colors around you? How often do you really look at them? The earth is a palette for colors - ever changing and never quite the same. You are surrounded by color each day and each night. Have you ever thought why this is so? Colors are energy healers and energy boosters. They are senders of soft vibrations that soothe the environment and those in it. They are, of course, images of beauty, but there is more to them then meets the eye. We are speaking here of the colors in nature, but in lesser form, the colors you are surrounded by influence you on a daily basis. As each person is different, there are particular colors that appeal and some that do not, so as we are around another person's choices we are influenced by colors that we may not choose ourselves.

        We dress ourselves in different colors. There is no explanation needed here of the variety that is available. We see it each day. Some prefer bright colors and some prefer the more subtle colors. They become an extension of our personalities. They say to the world this is me or this is what I need. Observing the colors that others wear can be an interesting hobby.

        We search for harmony by escaping the business of the day and retreating, if possible, to a place which is peaceful or perhaps escaping to nature. Nature has a predominance of the color green and being surrounded by that color is a very peaceful and healing experience. Each color has intensities and hues and harmonics, but it is not our purpose in this lesson to go into the meaning of these colors. There are books available on this subject. We would like to just bring to your attention the help that is available to you if you look for it. That help is simply being aware of colors in your daily life and seeing which ones influence you in a positive way, and which do not. There will be cycles that a person goes through of using and needing a particular color. This is sometimes an unconscious way of balancing. Other times it is done consciously by those who are more familiar with the different energies exhibited by wearing specific colors.

        Color is a good meditative tool. It is not necessary to know the meaning. Whether the color is shown on a flower or a room or in an article or just in the mind, it can be a learning experience. To appreciate color one must also become aware of the hues and shades involved. How often do you really look at a plant or flower or a painting with the intent of assimilating the colors as pieces of energy or rather paintings of energy? Perhaps it is a new thought. Just looking and observing expands your awareness and brings harmonizing feelings. As you absorb these colors and their influences, you add to your field of energy in a more balanced way. Too many people try to analyze and separate the colors they see, and this does make one aware, but it is a better technique to let the colors just be seen and felt for those who have the sensitivity to do so.

        Choose a color you have not worn or being around for awhile. Then look for it in your environment or in the dress of others. Notice the effect it has on you, or if it has no effect at all. Learn to sense the reactions you have toward different colors and just notice their influence. Be willing to allow colors into your experience that you are not totally comfortable with even if they are only exhibited in small amounts. Remember that light has all colors and they manifest in ever changing and creative ways."
