Recently a friend of mine said he was craving green salad like
never before. It seemed that was all he wanted to eat. I knew
this meant that the green in his energy field was depleted.
I thought about what was happening in his life at that time.
He was having trouble in his marriage. Because home and family
are very important to him, his heart was hurting over the miscommunication,
angry words, and lack of closeness between him and his wife.
In my ColorCard book in the chapter on green, there
is a section on lessons called “Closing In” that
seems to apply to Dean: “Does being vulnerable feel like
self-destruction? If so, you have cut off the flow of energy
from your heart. Your stem may be planted in the earth, but
it will never be strong or support a flower until the flow is
restored. Below the surface is a part of you that feels unprotected
and alone. Only you can reclaim this part of yourself and bring
it into your wholeness. Let it experience the love you have
for it in your heart. Let it know there is a capable part of
you that can take charge. Call on the help that is available
to you. You are not alone.”
After leaving his home and planning to start a life elsewhere
and then invite is wife and child to join him, Dean realized
he was simply running. It took him some time away from home
to know that he not only needed to take care of himself, but
he needed to face how he had closed down.
He has since returned to live closer to where is wife and child
live, planning to seek counseling and do work that is his heart’s
desire. He has discovered that part of the reason his heart
closed down was because he was not pursuing his passion—photography.
Desiring to eat only greens was a signal for him. With a little
space and time, he began to see what he needed to do to be able
to open his heart without blame and without expecting his wife
to become vulnerable on her own.
Color & Career
Kathy asks, “I’m trying to figure out which career
to pursue. I need some guidance.”
Kathy, the color I intuitively picked for you is pink. In the
chapter on pink in the ColorCard book under Life Purpose
there is a paragraph called “Advocacy for Children.”
Here is what it says: “Your childlike nature looks out
for children. You want to give them safety and nurturing. You
want them to be free to laugh and enjoy life. You want them
to know they can be who they are because they are beautiful
just as they are.”
Most likely you have been prepared for this career by the experiences
of your life. There’s a good chance you didn’t feel
safe as child; you didn’t feel like you could laugh and
enjoy life. Now that you are older you understand so well the
children who feel that same way.
Life experience has a way of preparing us for the service we
can offer to the world. This is usually an uncomfortable process,
yet it prepares us to be the most help to others.
Psychic Gifts
Gerrie says, “A friend of mine is psychic. She has informed
me that I am ‘one of the Masters.’ How do I know
when the messages, information, and visions I get are the Divine
coming through me and when it’s my own imagination?”
Gerrie, this is a great question. The best way to know where
these messages come from is to feel the answers.
If they are coming through the Ego/Personality Self, they will
often feel blaming, anxious, judgmental, fearful, or negative.
Take time to refocus and ask for guidance from a deeper part
of you. Be very specific in asking that information only come
through your Soul. The part of the Soul that is here with you
in this life time is often called the Higher Self. This can
be the clearing house for information. Set your intention so
that you receive only that which has been allowed by your High
Self.
When information comes from that deeper place in the heart,
it is always confirming, helpful, warm, transforming, nurturing,
and feels good. Even if there is information that says you are
not on the right track, it is always delivered in a supportive
way. Those on the others side and your Soul know how difficult
it is to live in human form. They are always amazed that we
do as well as we do. You may feel them clapping as you finally
understand something or make a decision that is very right for
you.
Also, when you have a vision or see an object with inner eyes
that you don’t understand, remember that everything has
consciousness. Ask the object or whatever you sense or see what
it is telling you. Make it clear that you are in human form
and need something very concrete to make sense of it. As you
receive the information, keep asking questions until you are
clear about what is being offered.
I also find it is helpful to have an intuitive partner. When
you and your friend focus on the same information or circumstance
you help each other. It’s as if your energies combine
to take you into the clarity of your own psychic ability
Gerrie, here is part of one section in the ColorCard
book in the chapter on Violet that may help: “Be honest
with yourself. Know your motivations. Clear out the rationalizations.
Great responsibility goes with your spiritual powers. They are
to be used to manifest the greater good.”
