Expansion Activity Six: Color Therapy: Orange

KEY INSIGHTS

Borrowed from www.energyandvibration.com/colororange.html

ORANGE is about Dependency/Co-dependency/Independence. Shock and trauma. Deep insight, joy and ecstasy. The physicality of the red combined with the self-knowledge of yellow. It is the land of the Inner Child world of play and imagination and wonder.

A METAPHORIC VIEW

ORANGE is Harmony. Beauty. Sensuality. Sexuality. Art. Creativity. Renunciation/Divinity (the robes of Buddhist monks). Dedication and devotion to a higher ideal. As we look beyond the material level, we start questioning and aspiring to higher levels than the material & physical. Trust. Acceptance. Bonding - expanding awareness to include others. ORANGE calls in our whole relationship to all life - this is the place we work it out.

POSSIBLE ORANGE ISSUES

ORANGE asks the question: "Where and how do I fit in to the whole human context?" The consciousness has either yet to be transformed and you are refusing to look at it, or you have already transmuted it. Holds the energetic toxic debris of life’s wounds, seeking to clear and release. Excess here can compromise the throat chakra.

SPIRITUAL BODY MEANING

From the yellow component comes Insight and self-knowledge - mindfulness. In the ORANGE component, one finds devotion, and the willingness to belong to a team effort. Gregariousness in spirit, expressing as group consciousness and an awareness of other peoples needs. Bliss. The social color. Connects us to our etheric body. Relates to relationships of any kind.

MENTAL BODY MEANING

Mindfulness. Patience and perseverance. Deep insights. ORANGE increases oxygen flow through the blood and brain which helps with clarity on a mental level. When imbalanced: Indecision. Lack of self-worth.

EMOTIONAL BODY MEANING

"Gut feelings". Spontaneous (red) wisdom. Sexuality for pleasure and joy, not with the intent to conceive. Excitement. Extroversion. Deep delight. Bright and humorous. Connected with belly laughter and playfulness. When imbalanced: Hysteria. Depression. Stubbornness. Shock/Trauma.

Gather a large cloth of  orange and have it available around the house to use when the desire or situation arises. Look at it. Breathe it in. Wrap yourself up in it. Get an orange light bulb or get a stage light that will allow you to use a orange gel. Bathe under that light. Use the box of orange below to look at inviting the wisdom of the orange to energize cell, body tissue, and energy bodies.
