Rainbows 08/21/2010
 Don't miss all the beautiful colours of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold................ From as early a time as I can remember, I have had a fascination with rainbows. As a child I would walk for miles with my best friend so we could try and reach the end of the rainbow and the pot of gold. Somehow we were never discouraged by the rainbow that kept on moving, the pot of gold always elusive. It was an adventure we simply didn’t grow weary of. There’s simply something magical about rainbows, of course they are a result of prismatic effect, but more than that for me they hold all the colours in the light spectrum, they represent all the colours of the chakras (esoteric energy centres) and most significantly to me, they symbolise a bridge, between heaven and Earth. Now I’m not talking of heaven with white bearded man sat on a cloud (but if that works for you, then that’s fine), I’m meaning a bridge between the infinite and the present moment, the limitless possibility in every moment , right NOW to create heaven on Earth. Most of the colours that you and I see are produced by part of the sun's light energy being absorbed/smothered by the objects around us. The red chair, say, gives far less light energy than it receives, whereas the heavenly principle is to GIVE AS WE RECEIVE. To consider light and colour from a spiritual viewpoint we should look at colour by transmitted light. These colours are, of course, the colours of the rainbow, when no light is lost but its inner beauties are quite literally opened out before our eyes as it shines through the transparent water droplets in the rain cloud. We are not intended to absorb the light ... enlightenment, joy and happiness ... rather we are intended to transmit it; and in doing so to unfold its meaning for others, and for ourselves too. The colours of the rainbow are not just wonderful images in our natural world but also convey deep meaning. As a child I loved to play with fuzzy felt, creating countryside scenes, stretching out to the horizon, my creations always included the sun and a rainbow. I also loved chalking on the slabs outside the door, again I always created rainbows. Even now if I see a rainbow I just have to stop and more often than not I take a photograph. Did you know that the colours of the rainbow have deep effects on us, each colour has a different frequency, a different vibration that interacts with our energy. Maybe that explains my fascination with rainbows? Do you recall the song “I can sing a rainbow”? I always thought it odd as a child that the lyrics asked you to listen with your eyes and hear everything you see...... but now I appreciate that all of our senses are stimulated by the rainbow. So when you see a rainbow, stop and take in its symbolism, its magnificence, beauty and magic. Remember there’s no need to chase the pot of gold as the greatest gift is contained within the rainbow its self, think about it..... the gift after rain with a bow on it ! Until next time Make every moment count! Lisa xx CommentsLeave a Reply | ArchivesOctober 2011   |
