Stillness 5-31: When droplets of water encounter light, and these are seen from a certain angle, they reveal to us the dramatic beauty of a rainbow. No matter what the science, facts cannot diminish the wonder of seeing water and light meld into an astonishing array of color. A rainbow always takes our breath away and lifts our spirits.
Color is a vital part of our wellbeing and happiness. If you’ve ever suffered from depression, you know how one of its symptoms is that everything around is perceived in dull greys. One way to help us out of our gloom is to surround ourselves in color, even if we can’t really feel the energy or “see” the color as we normally do.
Wherever you live, and however you’re feeling just now, take some time to notice the colors around you. As cities come back to life, you’ll find yourself noticing, with freshened, eager eyes, a pretty summer dress or a display of fruits and vegetables. See the variety of colors of the umbrellas on a beach or in a field of wildflowers. Let the blue of the sea penetrate not just your sight but your insight. Be more colorful.
Become a rainbow. Feel each color in your seven main chakras, those vital energy points in your body. Violet is usually felt in your crown chakra, at the top of your head, connecting you with spirit, wisdom, and divine love. Indigo or sapphire blue resonates in your third eye chakra of clairvoyance. And listen to the warm summer-sky-blue in your throat chakra, the seat of your clairaudience. When you see something emerald green, feel the vibration resonating in your courageous heart chakra. Your golden-yellow solar plexus is your own personal, central sun and can easily feel diminished or dulled—polish it up, let it shine out! A rich, golden-orange color saturates your sacral chakra, the seat of your creativity. And when you gaze at the bouquet of crimson-red roses in your arms, feel the joy in the very foundation of your being: your root chakra. Let all these rainbow colors pour through you like a waterfall, down through the soles of your feel, drenching your thirsty spirit and our beautiful planet with light, love, and laughter.
