Spectrum of light.
To clear the clutter of our busy minds,
Let's take a moment to just breathe.
Breathing in through the nose,
Feeling the cool air come in,
And on the out breath,
Relaxing the jaw and the shoulders.
Let's breathe into the spaces where you feel tightness,
Perhaps in the neck or back.
And as you breathe out,
Allowing those tight muscles to relax a bit.
Relaxing the stomach muscles,
Allowing the breath to move down the body,
To take in this present moment and tap into our creative minds.
Now,
Let's imagine a room filled with blank canvases,
The types of canvases that artists use.
Choose one and place it on the easel in the middle of the room.
On the ledge at the bottom of the easel,
We will place our jars of paint.
Red,
Yellow,
Blue,
And a jar of water to rinse our brushes in.
Before we add our colors to the canvas,
Let's brush it with water.
Just practicing the feeling of the movement of the brush as it glides across the canvas.
Just noticing the texture of the canvas.
Is it rough or smooth against the brush?
Just watching the beads of water glisten as they slide down quickly,
Or sometimes not moving at all,
And instead soaking into the paper.
Now,
Let's put the brush in the red paint.
I create a long steady stroke across the bottom of your canvas.
Like the color of blood,
The life force that flows through our veins.
Watch this vibrant red begin to bring your blank canvas to life.
I'm just noticing how when the red touches the wet surface,
It blooms like the bud of a rose.
Red,
The color of passion,
Action,
And confidence.
I'm just allowing the drips of paint to settle at the bottom of the canvas,
Building a solid foundation for your painting.
Now dipping your brush into the yellow jar and gliding it across the canvas.
Oh,
But is this a mistake or better yet a happy accident?
Because we've mixed a bit of the red into the yellow,
Creating a beautiful orange.
Let's see what happens as we continue to spread the orange above the red.
Watch how the orange settles into your image,
Like a sunset after a warm summer's day.
And sitting with the color orange,
The color of optimism,
Adventure,
And even transformation as it took the red and yellow to become something new.
And just focusing on that orange a little longer to remind us of what spontaneity can create.
Now we can rinse the brush in the water jar,
Allowing the paint to be washed away.
Let's dip our brush into yellow,
The color of joy and happiness,
Adding the yellow to the middle section of our painting.
The color is so energizing it glows,
Pushing out any uncertainty and replacing that feeling with purpose.
You deserve such happy light energy to fill your soul.
And again,
Rinsing out the brush,
We'll add some blue above the yellow.
And just notice as the blue flows down and the green trees grow out of the blended colors.
The green branches out to embrace you in a gentle hug,
Thankful for this moment of loving kindness you're giving to yourself.
Allow the lush strokes of green to brush the canvas,
Filling in the blank spaces to create a sense of balance and healing.
And rinsing the brush to get just a pure blue.
Let's take a breath and dive into it.
This blue,
The color of tranquility and peace,
Like a surfer gliding through the waters of the big blue sea.
Allow the brush to make waves across your canvas,
Riding the waves of blue.
It's easy to go with the flow of life as long as we stay true.
A true blue.
And to top off this beautiful spectrum of colors,
Let's paint some red on the top to mix with the blue.
The colors come together in a deep indigo,
The inky color of the night sky when the stars come out.
The wisdom of our uncluttered mind open to new possibilities as we take in this velvety hue.
With that,
We get our final color,
Violet,
The color of spirituality that lifts us up and reminds us that like this canvas of colors,
We are all connected.
Breathing in and out,
Let's take in this spectrum of light into your own energy fields,
Your wheels of light or chakras.
Red for your root and stability.
Orange into the sacral right below the navel,
The space of creation.
Yellow into the solar plexus to connect to your powerful purpose.
Green into the heart.
Feel those branches of light open and clear your energy as you bring in blue.
The blue of the night sky,
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.

The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
The energy of the universe.
