Connections

I love rainbows. I have tried to include one each month on the blog. Rainbows are symbolic of so many different life forces but I love them because they are simply beautiful.

Rainbows are a sign of connection or bridge between two points. One end connects or links to another point. Building bridges in our lives provides opportunities for growth and expansion in our personal experiences. It also creates bonds of love and unity between people. The arch is inviting and encompassing, similarly to our open arms posture.

The seven primary colors of the rainbow that we perceive match the 7 chakras or energy points in our body. Focusing and/or meditating on the colors of the rainbow will help to balance and align the bodies chakra energy points.

Starting at the base of the spine and moving upwards, the colors and points are: Root= red, Sacral= orange, Solar Plexus= yellow, Heart= green, Throat= blue, Third Eye= violet, Crown= deep purple.

The colors all emit a corresponding sound or frequency that resonates in our body. The note or sound corresponds to the musical octave. Since I believe that we are light manifested into the physical, we each emit a frequency depending upon the level of our conscious/spiritual state of being. The higher our consciousness, the higher the musical note: c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c (repeating).

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"May the inviting warmth and breadth of a rainbow remind you to build beautiful bridges between yourself and others, bridges that are of light and love." tc

A Solo Shrine

I was playing with four kittens the other day. They ran, jumped, tumbled and rolled all over the place. It was amusing to watch them play. During their romp around the yard, they did not look where they were going and crashed in to the cement step, planter and leg of the chair. I laughed at their quirkiness, as none of their accidents were hurtful. Quickly, the kittens sprung to their feet and continued their play, unphased.

Our lives are different, though. If we don’t look where we are going, we may end up in a perilous situation. Instead of bouncing back on our feet, we could find ourselves teetering on the edge of a dangerous circumstance. How is it that for all the balance that God created in this world, we would somehow be left the most vulnerable to change? To harm? To Danger?

Well, there is a safety net that many people know about but forget to claim in times of turmoil. The safety net is faith. The Creator provides us with everything that we need in life. Because we have been given a highly intellectual tool, our brain; we must learn to access the knowledge therein. We must exercise our intelligence and come together as one consciousness in order to maximize the gifts that we have been given. If we share our safety net with everyone, then no one is ever left unprotected.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Like a tower standing alone on a hillside, its protection is only as strong as the thickness of its walls. However, our vulnerabilities can be eliminated if we combine our fortitude to excel and protect each other.” tc
