We grow, develop and change with time. At the risk of EXTREME embarrassment to me (think of teenagers saying "You're embarrassing me, Mum!"), I'm going to include a few examples of my early work, and then comment of where I would differ from what is in the writing now.
To put this in context, I was studying in a New Age group with methods which - to simplify - were largely spiritualist based. We worked hard, learned a great deal, and the group and its members came up with some innovations and techniques which I still use and teach to this day. (I left partly because of the exhaustion resulting from the hard work; I don't have permission to mention the group [I haven't got around to asking yet!], so I won't mention them here.) The purpose of these writings was not to change the world: it was to practice and develop our skills at automatic writing.
That leads into my first comment on how I've changed since then. I now no longer accept that (non-physical) guides necessarily know more than incarnate people. Consider the guides of people living a materially simple life under hard circumstances in some barren area. Their (non-physical) guides would probably know a great deal about physical survival skills, but not much about complex social interactions of the type found in cities, or necessarily much about advanced metaphysics or spirituality (remember I described this situation as being a struggle to survive). Also, consider the person who is more evolved spiritually than someone else: the former may actually know more spiritually than the guides of the latter - which is not to imply that ANY are less deserving of respect. This does, however, make me far less likely to give a piece of automatic writing credence simply because it has been obtained by automatic writing: use the gift of your mind, and don't be gullible! I consider that my experience and knowledge is valuable, so make sure I contribute wherever possible and reasonable to any channelled writing I do - I now consider the quality of the end result to be more important than the method by which it was obtained (but at the time of this writing, that wasn't the case - I wanted to develop my psychic abilities, including the strength and clarity of my connection to my guides, and my ability to communicate both generally and by means of automatic writing).
So, now to the writing, which I channelled from White Waters Fall (a brother in a past life in North America [pre-white settlement] whose death I was responsible for) on 15th April, 1986.
COLOUR HEALING
It is fairly well known that colours do affect people in various ways. This is used when using mental, or absent, healing quite often, by imagining the patient surrounded in blue or green healing colours. In some places in the United States, the police are experimenting with the use of colour to reduce the strength of violent people. Several books have been written on the subject of colours - for meditation, and for healing. We wish to suggest an exercise that may be of use for those who are interested in learning more about colour for healing.
At , the visualisation of bright colours to help psychically clear rooms, and one's aura, has been talked of. Also, the use of colours to assist healing, as mentioned earlier in this article. Flaming involves imagining a bright gold light radiating from the centre of the body, often the heart chakra, to clear one's aura. A slight variation on this is to imagine that within oneself there is a point of light that grows until it fills the body, and then the aura. As this light grows, it pushes any darkness in the body out of the body, out of the aura, and to higher spiritual realms where it is dissolved.
These exercises, done frequently, have a beneficial effect on one's psychic health. They should be used as preliminaries to the exercise described, as they make it easier for one's Divine Light guides to come closer to one, and more difficult for negative forces to interfere with any Divine guidance one wishes to receive. For that reason, many people often use them before sleep also.
The books that talk of colour deal mainly with the effect that specific colours have. Unfortunately, some books do not always agree with other books, or the guidance that one gets. One should check the accuracy of the guidance as much as possible, So, to learn more about the effects of specific colours, visualise the colour around oneself and ask one's guides to assist you to feel the way you would if you had as much of that colour as you should have in your aura.
So, for example, visualising pink and asking one's guides (after asking for Divine protection and guidance, of course) to help one feel the way one would if one had the ideal amount of pink in one;'s aura would generally result in some change to the way one felt. If there is no change, one either has enough pink, or does not have the karma to know that one doesn't have enough pink, or one is being blocked. It is always a good idea to specifically ask that the maximum love and light that is for the Highest Spiritual Good of all go to all entities, incarnate and discarnate, that could cause or contribute to any blocking. This specific request increases the amount of protection one is entitled to. The best way to overcome the lack of karma is to persist with the exercise, and to assist other people in whatever way one can, and to ask for Divine Light guidance on this exercise.
With persistent practice, one would learn that, perhaps, pink increases one's sense of security and one's caring. It is important to persist with this exercise, so that pone is less likely to come to the wrong conclusion through interference, or carelessness.
By doing this exercise for a few main colours, perhaps pink, blue, green, gold, orange, white and violet, one can soon gain a better practical understanding of the effects that colours have on oneself, and which colours one needs most. Then, one can visualise the colours, or dress in the colours that one needs most until there is no deficiency, or some other colour is more important.
One important point is that the tone of the colour is very vital. A dark colour can have a negative effect , while a bright shade can have a positive effect. So, use bright pastel tones of the colours.
This exercise has benefits that are not obvious. Firstly, by being psychically brighter and healthier, one heals oneself and also the other people one comes into contact with. Secondly, by making the effort to work with one's Divine guides in this way, it is easier for one's guides to channel colours through when using channelled healing.
That brings us to the final point we wish to make. When using channelled healing, we suggest that one does not try to channel colours for specific effects unless one has had a a thorough psychic training. Simply use white, or the normal blue and green, and make the request that one's guides channel the correct colours, and change the effect of one's visualisation where appropriate. If one wishes to be of more assistance than that, then suggest this exercise - along with what you may have learned about healing - to the patient, so that they can learn to heal themselves.
White Waters Fall
OK, my comments now:
(1) there is an excellent (nigh on brilliant, actually) analysis on some of the subtle errors which can occur when working with psychic/paranormal matters - errors such as failing to consider that a medium could simply be telepathically reading what is in the sitter's mind and relaying that back and that being misconstrued as "proof" of life after death - in Stuart Holroyd's "Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth" (renamed "Prelude for the Planet Earth" in some markets). BUY AND READ IT: it is an excellent example of how not to be gullible, without being blindly and inflexibly sceptical. Publication details: Corgi 1979 (originally W.H. Allen 1977), ISBN 0 552 10997 5.
(2) I am now more open to the notion of balance between "light" and "dark", between evolution and involution - Wicca has taught me that. I now use terms like "destructive" or "disharmonious", as they more accurately reflect what I used to want to express when I or my guides referred to things like cleansing the darkness our of my aura. I've also talked to people who are members of the Church of Satan, and know that they are NOT into child sacrifice or other such rubbish: at the risk of misrepresenting those people and their views, my understanding is that they are about focusing on involution, or the "left hand path": i.e., focusing on learning about and developing the self.
(3) A bit related to the above, but I also send energy to Mother Earth for recycling, not only to higher realms for dissolution.
(4) I still am careful to specify what guides I wish to work with: there are upset, angry or downright malicious entities in both the physical world, and the realms about this world where earthbound people tend to accumulate. It can happen that people are misled by (earthbound) people who are upset and angry at being ignored by everyone else (a common experience for those who are earthbound) that they spit out an angry comment when they finally find someone who appears to be listening to them - and there can be malicious misleading. I tend not to use the term "Divine Light Force" ("DLF") as much as I used to (I may use "constructive non-physical guides"), but I am quite comfortable with the notion of light as a differentiator in astral realms (think of the colours you would send to someone who needed colour healing: would you send them a turgid, dirty green if they needed green, or a bright or rich, vibrant shade?), so I still often do use the term: it has the personal associations I want in that context.
(5) I'm also less strict about wearing bright colours in my clothing, or having bright colours about me, but that can also be a problem if I'm going through a flat spot so it isn't necessarily an improvement! Similarly, I haven't used this exercise for some time, but I do have other exercises where I work regularly with colour to cleanse and heal/boost my aura or the pl;aces I live, work and visit.
(6) I am still VERY strong in judging the effects of colours (and the energies of crystals) on a case by case basis. This could partly be the effect of having been on the receiving end of so much discrimination myself because I don't fir into other people's little boxes, but simply from working with crystals I know that one piece of rose quartz usually has a different energy and quality to another piece of rose quartz, so the guides saying that such and such stone is good for X, Y and Z don't necessarily apply to all stones. Similarly, if I ask a group to visualise the colour green, I can pretty much expect as many shades of green as there are people in the room - and everyone has a different history, so may have particular associations that can change or even reverse the effect most colours have. For instance, say someone had been tortured in a previous life in a blue room, they may find blue not restful at all, whereas quite a few (NOT ALL!!!) do. I also use more than just pastel shades now - my favourite green is an emerald or Kelly green, which can hardly be described as pastel. But the notion of trying something yourself (i.e., in the context of this post, visualising a colour round you) to see what effect it has on you is a valid one. I also still agree VERY strongly with the notion of CHECKING any guidance you receive - whether physical or psychic, and with the notion of working with adequate protection (see my post at http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2007/06/psychic-attack-energy-protection-and.html).
(7) I still accept that one may not be entitled to know the answers to a question - whether that is a karmic limitation, or because one has to go through certain experiences, or perhaps because one simply has to work it out for oneself (perhaps to drive the lesson home more strongly than simply being given an answer). There is a way of checking whether one is being limited karmically, and I'll add that to my list of future posts.
Love, light, hugs and blessings
