Practical Exercises:
As mentioned before, any practical exercises that you do should be fun. I ask you here to let your imagination run wild and to set the inner child within you free. The suggestions that are written here are just that, they are my suggestions of what you could do to incorporate the colour ORANGE into your life over the next week.
Firstly, I would like to suggest that you work with one of the crystals suggested above. Make a point of carrying the crystal around with you. The aim here is to get the crystal into your personal space as much as possible. Become aware of your sacral chakra and how that area of your body feels. Do you notice or feel a change when you have the crystal on you? When you bath put the crystal in the water with you. Set the intention that the crystal help balance and energise your Sacral Chakra.
Next is the colour Orange. You need to get this colour into your energy space as much as possible. For those of you that can, why not make a point of watching the sun rise or set over the next week. You can draw into yourself the beautiful orange colours that are splashed across the sky. Also again you can drink orange cool drinks or fruit juices (what about having an orange cool drink float?), eat orange coloured fruit and vegetables or eat an orange lollipop. It is now time to eat all the orange wine gums in your packet. For those of you who are comfortable with this, wear an orange outfit. Get yourself a small square of orange material and carry it around with you for the next week.
Colour your bath water – sprinkle a packet of orange jelly into the bath or use some orange food colouring. Add one of the suggested aromatheraphy oils to your bath water (you can put 5 drops of the undiluted oil into the water). Buy yourself some orange flowers and sprinkle the petals on top of your bath water or use the peels from the oranges you ate. Light an orange candle, turn out all the lights, close your eyes and just relax. Ask Archangel Zadkiel to assist you at this point and give permission for the 7th Ray to flood your sacral chakra area. Remember this ray is violet in colour. Just allow the clearing and balancing of your Sacral Chakra to occur. This exercise is complete when you feel it to be so. Remember to thank Archangel Zadkiel.
A Suggested Meditation:
This should take approximately 10 minutes. Make yourself comfortable. Start to feel yourself relaxing and when you are ready close your eyes. Follow your breath for a moment and just allow the breath to take you deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation. Find yourself walking alongside a gentle running stream. The sound of the water is extremely relaxing and soothing, and it eases away all the stress and tension within you. You feel the soft green grass supporting your feet and your mind is free of all thoughts. You notice that the stream branches off into a small pond and that in the centre of this pond is the most exquisite orange lotus flower. The flower begins to open and within its centre sits Archangel Zadkiel upon a beautiful golden throne. The Archangel welcomes you and invites you to sit upon the throne. You find yourself floating across the water to the centre of the flower. When you are comfortable Archangel Zadkiel reaches over and touches your sacral chakra. As you look down this chakra starts to spin and you begin to feel yourself releasing all the blockages and negative energies from this area. You give yourself permission at this point to release everything that no longer serves you, everything that is not of the highest and purest vibration. Archangel Zadkiel begins to flood your sacral chakra with a beautiful violet colour, the colour of the 7th Ray. You feel the qualities of freedom, compassion and forgiveness being anchored into this chakra, and you surrender completely at this point, allowing all that needs to go to leave. When the healing and the releasing are finished, you notice that a beautiful Master Being of Light and Love has joined you here. St. Germain steps forwards and greets you in the name of All That Is. You are placed in the centre of the Violet Flame of St. Germain and everything that you have released during this healing is transmuted and transformed into the highest and purest vibrations of Light and Love. When you emerge from the flame you feel wonderfully alive, vibrant, cleansed and balanced. You thank St. Germain and Archangel Zadkiel and they both invite you to return whenever you feel the need to do so. You drift back to the bank and slowly become aware of the cool and refreshing touch of the grass beneath your feet. You send out a prayer of gratitude for the blessing that has just been bestowed upon you.
I suggest that you ask Archangel Michael to place a dark blue cloak of protection around you at this point. Honour yourself for the remainder of the day. Allowing yourself the space and time to heal. Above all else… Remember who you are! An awesome Soul. A divine spark of God who is having a human experience.
