Meditation

Meditation means to go into the center. It is single mindful attention based in the present moment. Meditation helps you to take a holy moment. The poet Kabir called God “The Guest.” When you meditate you go into a sacred space, your guest room, to reconvene and be with yourself and that aspect of you which is God.

Meditation practice should be done sitting up preferably in the Egyptian position otherwise you’ll fall to sleep when you lie down. Ideally it is best to meditate first thing in the morning. It sets the tone for your day and helps you keep centered. If you cannot manage this then meditate before a big meal or at least 2 hours afterwards. When you eat the blood flow goes to your stomach taking up energy and predisposing your consciousness to sleep once your eyes are closed.

However, some people fall to sleep because they are not used to being with themselves and they cannot cope with it. Problems with meditation can be resistance from your ego mind, an unconscious resistance to something related to an area of emotional pain. If you are bothered by unwanted thoughts during meditation just notice them, acknowledge them and return to your focus.

Try to make it a daily practice to meditate each day. 10 minutes a day, in the morning when you get up. Here is a meditation you can try each day. Change it to suit your practice.

Daily Meditation

Find yourself a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a few deep cleansing breaths.

Visualize a beautiful ball of sparkling white light in the center of the room. As you focus your attention on this light see it become larger and brighter, larger and brighter still, until it completely surrounds and embraces you. Feel the light cleansing your mind, body, spirit and emotions, filling each of your bodies with light. Give anything you have been holding onto any negativity into the light. See it being transmuted and absorbed by the light. If there is excess energy see this as formless and harmless and taken back into the earth. Expand the light into every corner of the room cleansing the room of any negativity. If you find an area of darkness fill it with light – no darkness can live in the light. Expand the light until it becomes an enormous bubble embracing the building within. See the light cleansing the building above, below and the sides. (When you are satisfied that your space is clean, say a prayer).

Great spirit. Surround me with your light, love, peace, and power. Help me to be at one with you. (You can say your part of the prayer – whatever you are working with at the moment)
Bless you.

Ground yourself by imagining roots going from your feet and the base of your spine down, down, down, into the center of the earth. Ask Gaia (the earth goddess) to share her energy with you and bring this energy up through your roots into your root chakra and up into your body. Feel the magnetic energy of the earth energizing your body.

Visualize a ball of golden light above your head. This is the light of the divine, Great Spirit, God. Feel this energy flood your crown chakra and your body with wonderful golden light. Focus on this light for 10 minutes, soaking up this energy. Remember to breath. If it makes it easier to stay in the present moment focus on your breath.

Say a prayer of thanks acknowledging those in spirit who work with you - your guides, guardian angels, higher self, friends, family and guardians.

To close down from the meditation visualize a shower of white light above your head showering and cleansing your bodies. Then wrap yourself in a cloak of protection - whatever color feels right for you. Make sure your cloak covers your head and touches the floor, covering your feet. Now put yourself into a bubble of light that only allows positive energy to enter. If you need extra protection visualize mirrors on the outside of your field facing outward.

The Secret Colors Your Name Reveals

All life has a colorful and musical harmonic rhythm. We think of life as human, animal, vegetable, and mineral, but what about the life in your name? Each letter of the alphabet vibrates to a specific musical note and color. Your name is a pulsing assortment of vibrational energy that can be played by an orchestra or creatively expressed on canvas by an artist.

Altering your name adjusts your vibrational make-up, an energy that women may well appreciate more than men. When I married my name changed transforming not only my title but something within my psyche too. My husband changed his name to honor his family line it also shifted his energy and his life.

Every time your name is uttered its vibrational energy showers your auric field. The right name with positive vibrations can transform who you are and the path you are on.

INDIGO	VIOLET	RED	ORANGE	YELLOW	GREEN	BLUE
A	B	C	D	E	F	G
H	I	J	K	L	M	N
O	P	Q	R	S	T	U
V	W	X	Y	Z
Imagination	Faith	Willpower	Creative	Intellect	Practical	Communication
Intuition	Humanitarian	Success	Enthusiastic	Self-esteem	Understanding	Expression
Knowledge	Inspiration	Stability	Confident	Power	Compassionate	Peace
Truth	Idealistic	Hot-Blooded	Adaptable	Nervous	Balanced	Healing
Asleep	Pompous		Dependent		Stingy	Stuck

The quantity of each color in your name also has bearing on the vibrational energy present. Missing colors are areas of our lives we need to work on. Vowels are feminine and convey the intuitive, receptive side of our being. Consonants are masculine relating to the active, forceful side of our nature. Use the chart above and below to interpret the energy of your name. I will use my name as an example:

1	Path of Leadership
2	Path of Creativity
3	Path of Intellect
4	Path of Practicality
5	Path of Communication
6	Path of Responsibility
7	Path of Inspiration
8	Path of Balance
9	Path of Service

There are four yellows and four indigos, both with an equal number of consonants and vowels. Yellow symbolizes the solar plexus, the power center. Indigo represents the third eye, the point of intuition. In my practice these are the two most important energies for me. The interesting thing is that yellow is a very outgoing color while indigo is a little more insular, perfectly describing the two sides to my character. These two energies blend intellect with imagination, the three violets express my spirituality, two oranges show my creative side and the one green is my ability to create healing and balance within my life. The missing colors, red and blue, are two areas I have to confront or invite into my life - grounded communication, success, and stability.

Let’s take a look at some of today’s New Age luminaries. First we’ll start with Doreen Virtue.

Doreen Virtue’s colors reveal strong orange and yellow aspects reflecting leadership qualities. These colors mixed together make gold and angels often relate to gold and they are in perfect balance of male and female energies. She really expresses her power in a creative way, is a flamboyant energy, very open, extremely sensitive, probably child like at times, but also a power to be reckoned with.

The number three is the path of the intellect, but hers mixes with her creative energy, so it shows she has a good mind. Her blue is the path of creativity connecting with her writing often including occult or hidden energy – indigo, again perfectly balanced. Finally the green heart and violet crown reveal that she is here to change and have a profound impact on the world.

The well-known pioneer Caroline Myss is next.

The most interesting thing about Caroline Myss’ name is it has all the colors. The dominant energy is yellow contained within the path of practicality. She would not suffer those who do not use their intellect or their common sense revealed by the larger number of masculine consonants. The yellow gives her the ability to listen to someone and make sense of everything even if they didn’t get it. So it may be frustrating for her at times when her pioneering spirit is not heard or understood. She gets it! That is her gift.

The indigo as her creativity is her third eye, her ability to see. Sometimes she has to take care not to get her mind in the way of her intuition – but then who doesn’t! And the orange equal with indigo supports her writing, but makes her produce rather than just think about it. The equal blue, red, green and violet shows that she can express herself on many different levels, but she does not always share her deepest spiritual ideals with everyone.

Let’s take a look at Sonia Choquette.

Four indigos, this is Sonia Choquette’s path of practicality and it perfectly reveals that her thought process is entwined with her intuition especially since it is so feminine. Three yellows support her path of intellect, which almost balances her intuition, but her intuitive essence has the upper edge. The blue and green colors as her path of creativity shows that she speaks from her heart and can tend to let her emotions get the better of her. Her healing ability would come from her voice, however that may be expressed. And the red reveals she is a down to earth psychic who expresses herself creatively and playfully.

The missing color is orange reflecting she may be too sensitive at times and take things personally. Orange is the color of addictions, so she might exhibit some addictive behavior by becoming too fixed on something that could narrow her choices.

Finally we will look at Louise L. Hay.

L	O	U	I	S	E		L.		H	A	Y
Y	I	B	V	Y	Y		Y		I	I	O

With four yellows Louise Hay is certainly showing her leadership qualities and power in a very practical and balanced way. She shines a light for others to find their path. Her second color is indigo, but this is mostly internalized meaning she may not always verbalize her intuition when making decisions, but she does use this ability in her life. One blue, orange and violet feels like she has had some issues in relationships, karmic connections, and suffered much at the hands of others. Through the orange she has shared her past, but the blue and violet show the internal bruises remain like a tattoo.

She is learning in this lifetime the path of red and green, complimentary opposites on the color wheel. These are life and death colors, so she would have been faced with many decisions of whether or not to stay or leave. Both colors are about growth and not allowing stagnation to set in.

When you come to play with your own colors remember to use your intuition. Try not to intellectualize the process too much. And just have fun!

Orbs in Motion

In the movie Ghost I noticed that when Patrick Swayze’s character was ready to go into the light it contained orbs. There is more truth to this than anyone would realize by just seeing this image.

Orbs have been appearing more and more as we open to the conscious awareness of spirit. On the top of my website I have revolving images with words. Two photos are taken at workshops with orbs appearing in them. I have read that when we ask for orbs they appear but both these images were taken without that thought in kind. There was only the intention of working with energy, light, and spirit. In fact, both photos were taken when we were sensing the energy of the space. We do this by dancing or moving around the room with our arms, hands, and body open to sense energy.

At the end of my recent workshop at Omega one of the students Haseema took a series of shots revealing the movement of orbs.

My sense of the orbs is that they are the energy of spirit, our guides, angels, loved ones, and of course the energy of the place we are in. Some of these orbs belonged to the space, I felt it was revealing itself to us especially as we had thanked and appreciated it for holding our group energy.

Sometimes faces can be seen within orbs. The prevalence of this phenomenon tells me that things are changing for us. We are being shown energies that I have seen since childhood. I see devas and elementals like this, orbs of light dancing in the trees, air, and water. I have seen this same energy in my home. It was built on an old Roman site where there had been much emotional energy.

We often see clouds of energy not realizing that these are the same as the orbs, energy in motion.

Finally here is a shot of myself and Kathy who kindly agreed to be my assistant at the Omega InTuition workshop.

Check the Wishing Circle Buzz page to see the orb appearing above the tree I was giving Wish water to.

If you wish to see orbs in your photos try asking for them to appear. You could also meditate before taking the photo. There may be a special place in nature that you feel connected to. Photograph this place while asking for the energies to reveal themselves on your images. You could ask your guides and helpers to be revealed in your photos.

Orbs are a natural part of who we are - energy - spirit - love.

Oh Great Spirit,
Earth, Sun, Sky, and Sea
You are inside
And all around me
(Native American chant)
