Sitting at my computer desk again, I contemplated the past few days

"Having no preconceived ideas of how we work is actually very good, Joan. As time goes on and you get deeper into your project you will begin to angel green experience how our energies can be applied toward healing your body, emotions and experiencing your goals."

"You mean to say that if I had a goal like being a great tennis player, you can help me? Or if I had a goal to be financially secure I could be with the help of color energy? Sounds a little far fetched." "You will see and have direct experience with all of this. Now let’s learn about Green."I got myself settled and prepared to do another "Focusing" exercise.

"Joan, I don’t mean to interrupt, but if you have trouble doing your focusing exercises and feeling the colors’ energy, you can do a few things to help your self. It is important for all of your senses to be involved. Certain aromas carry colors’ energy. For example, the fragrance of pine is green. It is hard not to imagine green when you are smelling pine.

Agree?" "Also another powerful way to involve your senses is to use colored lights. Go into a dark space and turn on a green light. How can you not imagine green. When you are in that space, turn on soothing music and relax. You now have the ingredients to assist you in feeling the energy in your body". "Once you feel it there will always be a word attached to the feeling. And again, once you say the word or words it is like shaking hands with the color. You have now done your part to meet and to experience the color consciously and directly. Now you are well on your way to having its powerful assistance".

"Want to give it a try?" "You’re the expert, Opal. I have a green bulb left over from last Christmas and I do have some oil essence of pine. And I have head phones and some soothing music. I guess I have no excuses not to at least try it."My walk-in closet was big enough for me to get into a comfortable reclining position. I put a dab of the pine oil near the end of my nose. Immediately I could see a pine tree and imagined a beautiful forest with the suns’ light shining through in patchy beams.

I turned off the regular closet light and put on the green light, put on my headphones and I was on my way to doing my ‘Focusing’ exercise. Relaxation came quickly. Soon words and images crossed my minds’ screen as my body distinguished the energy of green. It was true so far for me that each color that I had experienced so far like this had given my body a different and distinct feeling.

Green feels like opening...like my chest is opening. Green feels expansive. Green feels secure. Green feels safe. Other words came directly to me as if Green was telling me about itself. Whole phrases came to me on an intuitive level. What Green communicated to me went something like this: When you are truly in touch with me, you are dwelling in the security of your own being. You are now free to step outside of your own boundaries to take chances for your own good and the good of others. I give you the security to expand'.

"Very good, Joan." I heard Opals’ voice again. "I find what Green has shared with you very insightful indeed". "A few moments ago you asked me about goals and how color energy can assist us. Your goal of financial security is just the tip of the ‘Security’ iceberg so to speak".

"Real security lies within our selves and our ability to share with others our own uniqueness. When we open our hearts and turn the flow from receiving to giving, amazing things begin to happen. Our needs are taken care of". "Money is a worthwhile pursuit, but the way I see it, the focus we give it can create a false sense of security. Once we are secure within ourselves, our perspective around riches and money will change. Individuals who are secure within themselves can let go of money very easily and when they need it, it will be there".

"Think of the disservice you may be doing yourself by focusing exclusively on your pursuit of riches". "Green helps you go beyond your present comfort zone and to expand outward and to feel safe while doing it. Find out what is unique about yourself and then share yourself with others. Life can not be any richer than this". "You do not have to abandon any goals or desires that you have.

When allowing Green’s essence to nourish you, the realization of your heart’s desires will manifest naturally. This is because you are feeling secure within yourself.....and what color helps you with this?" I heard a familiar voice in the background and it sounded like Orange..... "Big G,r, double e, n .....GREEN!" I had to laugh. "You guys make a great combination. Together you make it safe to laugh." I heard three groans.

"You may not know this, but I grew up in a family where we had no sense of safe boundaries. Much less being spontaneous and free. That is a wonderful feeling". "Accepting your essence, Green, is really a wonderful gift. I think the choice I made back in my childhood, was not to feel safe and spontaneous. It was the way the energy in our family system was channeled. And as absurd as this may sound...it only felt safe, not to feel safe".
