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

My hesitation confirmed in my own mind that I may not be ready. I took a deep breath and invited Angel Orange to meet with me anyway. "No wonder you are finding it hard to meet me. I sense that you are giving into some kind of fear. And I am here to dispel that notion."

"I guess I am afraid," I said. I looked around to find where the voice was coming from. "After all, I have never done anything like this before...I mean writing about color energies disguised as angels.

Sounds a bit outrageous to me." "If I were you Joan, I would do a ‘Focusing’ exercise now and we could shake hands and become friends. Then you can really get to know me and my true Color."

"I really learned my lesson from Angel Red so I’ll just do it." It was easier doing my focusing this time. I remembered all of the steps that Opal had outlined especially letting go of any preconceived notions.

Words came to me quickly as I scanned my body for feelings that matched. "Orange moves me to action." Other words came to me as well as images and this surprised me. At the time of my focusing my body felt buoyant, and I felt like I was making a transition from one focus to another. It also felt inspirational and like a celebration.

When experiencing, Orange, I just knew that it was the last color energy to leave the body just before a person died. I am not sure how I knew it. It felt like a direct awareness or perception. I saw as an image. In my minds eye was a skull with a crown placed on it. This image stayed with me for a while. It was definitely not what I expected.

I felt grateful though, that I was able to put words to my direct experience with Orange. My eyes opened slowly and darting across my screen was Angel Orange. Another feeling filled my belly section and I could not contain my laughter.

The exuberant and outrageously funny looking angel interrupted my laughing seizures. "Okay, Okay, calm down, Joan. You have demonstrated that you have known me at least a little bit, before you even did the focusing exercise." "What do you mean, Orange?". "Can I call you Orange instead of Angel Orange?", I said, still trying to contain my laughter. "I hope I don’t hurt your feelings if I think of you as funny".

"It would hurt my feelings if you didn’t, Joan". "I can really make people laugh and that is healing you know". "With your interest in ‘alternative healing methods’, I am sure this information will help you. There is documented proof that many individuals have experienced real cures by getting to know me". "Its’ hard to get a word in edge wise when I talk to you, Orange"." Can I ask you a question?"

"I am a bit confused. The first words that came to me while I was doing the ‘Focusing’ exercise were, "Orange moves me to action". "I thought Red did that". "To clarify this for you, Joan, you must remember that, because I am Orange, I do have some Red in me. "My ‘movement to action’ is different than Red’s. I do this by my inspiration and this is a bit more subtle than the way Red gets you up and going."

"You said that you felt inspired and that does match me. Without my special energy we would not have the great masterpieces in art, music, architecture and literature.....just to name a few ways you can be inspired. When you are inspired by any thing, your imagination is touched and this is the ingredient for new and wonderful things to be accomplished. I am also Bold and Daring and adventuresome and do not let fear affect me".

"I noticed before you actually met me today that you had given into fear. That is definitely not me." "Orange, I think I understand. I have accepted fear and a hesitancy to be bold and daring especially with this color project I am doing. I actually feel inspired to go forward.

Thank you for meeting with me and becoming my friend". "I love to laugh you know." "That’s the part of you that embraced me before you made a conscious effort to Focus". "Now since you have met me more intimately you can laugh and be adventuresome too"! "There is so much I have to offer and as time goes on you will learn more about me. How can you not, my very nature is adventuresome. See you later".
