When I first started this exercise, I confused myself a little. Years ago I became interested in chakra work and performed a few exercises. However, I fell away from the practice..even though I felt better with the time I had spent. One of the exercises I did with my chakra was color related, but it involved pulling the colors of each individual chakra in. So when I first started this meditation...I kept going back and forth. :-)) I couldn't make up my mind...so I developed a strategy.
I went to my bookshelf and pulled out a couple of my chakra resources. I spent some time looking through them and reading some main points in order to focus my mind to what I was trying to accomplish. Then I started the Rainbow Meditation with a fresh viewpoint and old information called to mind.
The interesting thing about the Rainbow Meditation is that the colors match the colors for the chakras. I shouldn't have been surprised because it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Colors are so powerful and have a place in different alternative models. Colorpuncture (acupuncture without needles: instead uses glass rods with colored ends), meditating on a color, and color healing all use the power of color to heal the body. How many of us paint a room according to a feeling? In the future, when we get famous & are going on a live talk show...they will put us in a 'green room' which is meant to relax us. I painted my kitchen a 'good-morning-wake-me-up' yellow & now I love my mornings. We may not realize it all of the time...but color makes us feel better (or worse) throughout the day. I like red, but you never see it in a doctor's office--with good reason. It stimulates the body through sight. Us women know the power of a little black dress...but we really understand the fire behind a red dress!
I finally did master the skills this meditation was asking of me. I felt like my body was cleansed because of the colors 'pushing' the negative energies out. I felt like it benefited my body but I do also enjoy the 'bringing in' of color to benefit and heal weak or damaged areas. I have decided that both the new method and my old one will work for their own purpose at different times of my life. Sometimes it will be necessary to use the color to cleanse & sometimes to rejuvinate. Another lesson well learned!!
