I have not written for quite a while.\u00a0 At the beginning of 2021, I was publishing on Medium.\u00a0 I still plan to keep that up.\u00a0 But, I need to figure out where my time is best spent.<\/p>

Right\u00a0 now, I am focused on working with color.\u00a0 It’s so exciting that I want to share my experiences with this with others.\u00a0 I spent yesterday working with someone on the color yellow.\u00a0 We did some color therapy exercises and she left the session happy!! The color work took us both from stress, fatigue, and multidirectional to relaxed, rejuvenated, and purpose.<\/p>

I am always astounded at the powerful effects color has.\u00a0 The exercise we did was around clothing.\u00a0 We did a meditation and vision around the colors in the clothes in our closet, then looked at thge actual clothes and colors, and then looked at our impressions of why and how we used these colors, and what colors we could use when we got up and got dressed to present messages to ourselves and others.<\/p>

Often\u00a0 when I am in studio I instinctually reach for certain colors over others. I remember when I first entered graduate school at Rhode Island School of Design, , I had an intense desire for the color orange.\u00a0 I literally made a 4 x 6 painting that was one solid mixed color of what I emotionally felt was the perfect color orange.\u00a0 That painting hung in my workspace for almost the entire first semester.\u00a0 It was not until years later that I learned about the chakras.<\/p>

Orange is the sacral chakra, or the second chakra, in the area from the lower abdomen to the navel. The elements associated with it include water and emotional identity.\u00a0 It is aligned with the planet Mars, and the Sun.\u00a0 And, it is the color of creativity and sexuality. How amazing that that was the color that I instinctually knew I needed at that time in my life.<\/p>

I read up on the color orange recently. Other sources say it is the color of joy and promotes wellness, and that orange stones can increase self esteem, confidence, and personal power.\u00a0 Perhaps it is no accident that I am writing about this now.\u00a0 When I sit down to write like this, I do not ever know what I am going to talk about until it comes out.\u00a0 But I am on the cusp of a new chapter in my work life, in which I have committed to a deeper focus on my art work and the teaching aspect centered around both the physical dye techniques I use and the creativity piece.\u00a0 I have learned over the years that I learn as much or more from students and clients than I teach! Teaching and learning are a circular flow and I have always believed that all students are teachers and all teachers are students.<\/p>

Orange can stimulate passion, emotional balance, harmony, freedom, and intuition.\u00a0 Perhaps its time for another orange painting.\u00a0 Interestingly, my student had very little yellow in her wardrobe, but just this past week she had bought a yellow sweater.\u00a0 I have only one orange item in my wardrobe, it is a sweater I bought to walk on misty afternoons so hunters would see me and not think I was a deer.\u00a0 Perhaps I will take my own advice, and wear this orange sweater this week.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
