Vibration Editor, Donna Cunningham, says,
This morning's email onslaught was a light load. It included only eleven spam emails wanting to sell me some New Age product, service, or belief system. They came from total strangers, yet each one of them, at the end of their sales pitch, wished me love and light. Somehow, I didn't feel uplifted, especially by several who wanted to sell me love spells to catch a soul mate. "Love and Light" has unfortunately become as much a cliché as having the barista warble, "Have a great day," when she hands you your latte. But what does it really mean?
What WE mean, and what we want to explore in this special issue of Vibration, is light as a vibrational healing tool in and of itself, applied in a systematic and focused way to bring about healing. It is said that we, like everything in the Universe, are made of light, and that light is the building block of creation. The aura -- which many psychically-attuned people see in vivid color -- is only the outer boundary of the light that exists throughout every cell of our body. Visualizing light in our bodies, minds, and energy fields can catalyze the release of stagnant and toxic blockages to health and well-being.
Instinctually, people recognize that color has meaning and impact. We choose colors to wear and decorate our homes that express who we are or that give us an uplift. Street gangs identify themselves by wearing colors that express their solidarity. Jails use calming colors like blue to keep peace among their inmates. Hospitals often paint rooms a healing green. Ad agencies consciously boost sales by using lively colors like red, yellow, and orange. What is interesting is that color does have different associations in different cultures. In Asian countries, according to the principles of Feng Shui, red is considered a lucky color. Asian brides wear red wedding dresses to bless their union. However, in the West, a bride who wore red would raise eyebrows -- we stick with a virginal white whenever possible.
In many areas of the world other than the United States, color healing has been a legitimate and recognized discipline
for several decades -- for instance in the technique of color breathing. Practitioners and more scientific researchers have
documented the changes that light and color bring about. Likewise, in many enlightened nations, the sun and the wind
are increasingly tapped to generate clean, renewable energy. That the U.S. establishment has not
embraced these great natural forces is both a politically-motivated reality and a doggone shame.
But let us not digress.
In the articles in this issue, we want to explore how essences of various sorts can be enhanced by the
use of mentally-evoked light of various hues. In addition, there are articles about special essences made
with the use of natural light -- the aurora borealis, the full Moon, even a solar eclipse -- as well as those
specially created with colored gels and other technologies.
We hope you will become intrigued enough to experiment with the potent
combination of light and essences!
Vibration Editor, Deborah Bier, adds,
Scientists have discovered that women are more sensitive to differentiating colors than are men. This is particularly so at high frequencies (low wavelengths). Therefore, for example, a man may see something as black, whereas a woman is more likely be able to perceive there is a small amount of blue or violet present. (I could have told you that without scientific proof: my husband calls everything from red to orange to pink to purple "red".) In addition, men are 10 times more likely to be color blind than women.
Given how powerfully color affects us -- and on so many levels -- is this one reason why so many psychological and perceptual experiments find that women are more able to perceive small nuances when compared to men? We do have to wonder if women would respond to color-based essences differently (more powerfully?) than men would. (If you'd like to read more about men's sensitivity and essences, go to our special Men's edition.)
Not to give away the show on our November issue of Vibration which will go into this topic in much more depth, I do have to point out here that we have been very careful not to automatically associate each color with one (and only one) chakra, such as if it's red, then it must relate to the base chakra, etc. To do so would not be a deep enough understanding of the situation to be accurate. Yes, I am probably stepping on some sacred cows here (though, how one steps on a cow, I'm not entirely certain). But it has to be said.
We encourage readers to allow themselves to be far more creative in the ways colors and chakras relate to one another. Be observant within yourself and of others to see beyond the rote idea that red means the first/base chakra, orange the second chakra, etc. You'll be surprised... and more ready for the great November issue we have in the works! (If you would like to submit an article or article idea for our November issue, please contact us.)
