Counselling
Session part 2
Colour Palette
Healing
Session 11 Continued (14-12-04)
Before
beginning this second part of these
counselling sessions you might like
to create a little sanctuary for yourself
within close proximity of your computer
screen. A glass of fresh water, and
some crayons, markers or pens along
with some paper will be helpful. If
these are not available to you that
is ok you will be able to follow along.
Take a couple of deep
breaths and release them slowly. Now
relax. Click on the Colour
Palette. Slowly pass
you cursor over the colours. Note
those that you feel a kind of affinity
with. Some may make you feel cheerful.
Notice which ones cause you to feel
sad, perhaps even anxious. Some may
cause you to find kind of blah. Even
these are important. Make a note of
each colour that you are affected
by so that you can reflect on this
later. Take your time….
Those of you who have attended previous
circles will recall the power of colour
and its many healing vibrations. Using
colour is a powerful and beautiful
method of accessing our unconscious.
As we continue you will notice the
different sensations that seem to
be associated with certain colours.
What is happening is that your sub
personalities, inner child and guides
are selecting these colours to be
their voice. They are selecting the
colour frequencies that are most suited
to saying what they need to say through
the feelings that they invoke.
Therefore during this
session you will want to pay very
close attention to your reactions;
to how both your body and mind feel.
Notice how your body parts are feeling.
Your subs will speak to you through
the sensations in these parts. By
bringing your awareness to them you
will be able to hear the story they
wish to impart. When you hear this
story then you will begin the healing
process.
Here is an example
of this… A man who has suffered
lower back and pelvic pain. During
therapy he becomes subtly aware of
this painful area. As he tunes in
and senses out this area he becomes
aware of a certain anger and sadness
associated with this. Then when he
allows himself to talk as if he actually
is this pain in his back, he begins
to speak as a child and cries because
of a painful relationship with his
mother. When he senses for a colour
for this painful area he discovers
that dark red speaks to him.
In this example the
man gave expression and life to the
back pain. It had a texture of feeling,
colour, and words. This is the type
of expression that you will strive
for in the following explorations.
Don’t worry about how well you
do, or how much you discover. Whatever
you manage will be of great value.
Have confidence in your own innate
wisdom and abilities, they are there,
they are you, and they are real!!!
Take a deep breath
and relax for a moment then say the
following to yourself: "I am
willing to more fully acknowledge
and embrace my inner gifts and intuitions.”
I now have companions to help me along
my way. Pay attention to how you react
to this statement. How does it feel?
Try to include any emotion, sensation,
body area, thought, and or image for
each of your experiences.
If you don’t
notice anything at all that is ok
too. Just gently be aware of whatever
presents itself. Relax and allow it
to flow. Take your time…
Write or draw what is significant
to you from the investigation including
a body part or location, sensation,
emotion, colour and any thoughts that
comes to mind. There is no rush….
Next repeat the previous
exploration, but this time instead
say: "The path I am travelling
sometimes is unclear. I care, but
my progress feels blocked." Again,
take note of all your significant
reactions and colours that surface
for you.
Perhaps you will need
to refresh your memory and check out
the colours again, to give your unconscious
companions another opportunity to
speak with and through you. As before,
collect all the different pieces,
colour, body location, thoughts, feelings,
images, sounds and whatever else seems
right to you. Allow and trust yourself.
Let it flow….. your guides and
higher self is here with you and working
to support you in this endeavour.
You can rely on this truth because
it applies for all of us.
Some of your unconscious
parts may be angry or sad. Some may
even want to fight, but each has its
common goal of wanting to protect
and support you from their own particular
vantage point. So in this way these
unconscious parts are your friends.
M: Why purple for
me? All I have ever seen is purple.
G: How do you feel about the colour
purple?
M: In my thoughts, my dreams, my wants,
it is safe to me. My colour, everything
purple
M: I feel a bit odd
now for saying that!
G: Then this is the message it has
for you
G: No need to feel odd, sense into
the colour and go with what you feel
relating to it.
These aspects of ourselves
are like children trying to make sense
of this world without the luxury of
adult understanding. Although it is
not easy to be tolerant and accepting
of these aspects of us that create
pain and difficulty, we need to muster
up all the compassion and appreciation
possible. They are like family, we
all love our families even thought
we may fight or argue with them. We
need to allow the same flexibility
in our relations with our unconscious
selves as well. Don’t push it,
just be confident that in time you
will be capable in a very balanced
way.
In conclusion write
a short story about all the colours
and experiences that have arisen and
revealed themselves to you. Give names
to each of these collections of experience.
For example, from
the previous story about the man with
the painful lower back, a name of
"Hurt and Angry Child" could
be given to his lower back which shouted
"leave me alone!" and appeared
dark and angry red. Make these names
personal and come alive for yourself.
They could be representations of people
that you have known around the time
of the memories and images associated
with the colour and feelings.
For example, most
will always have a subpart (even more
than one) that represents and carries
the voices of our mother. There might
be a "Loving Mother" and
an “Impatient Mother" and
perhaps others.
This is your story!!!
In your story have the named colours
participating in a journey toward
spirit. Interpret your difficulty
or situation in terms of this journey,
in such a way as to bring about a
satisfactory resolution of your concerns,
that will mean progress on your journey
toward spirit. Give life and action
to these people or forces, give them
voice. Allow them to channel the story
through yourself.
Your story should
be complete enough to allow each character
to fully voice and act as needed to
share what it needs with the other
actors, your playing the part of the
director in the script. Allow it to
evolve, as it will, be open, curious,
and flexible; yet do not force it
to conclude in a specific way. It
is important that you give voice to
any emotions that are particularly
insistent in wishing to speak regarding
your journey.
It isn’t easy
at times but be assured that the rewards
will be worth while.I realize that
you may not complete this story right
now; as we don’t not have allot
of time. Perhaps you can set aside
time as soon as you are able, then
create a sanctuary for yourself once
again, and review this session in
the archive; and once again take it
up and complete it. You may find the
task challenging but the rewards will
be very enlightening. Save your writings
and drawings and review them from
time to time.
In reviewing them
you will be able to confirm your continued
positive transformation. You will
likely find that the many strands
of your life, as identified in your
story, are slowly and steadily shaping
into a firmer more reliable whole.
In the next and last
part after the holidays we will complete
the task in helping you process through
any strong emotional responses you
may have had while writing and directing
your story.
G: > I understand
that it is all to swallow in one night.
M: Are you are talking about the past
and present story?
G: yes I am because the body is like
a record a history of emotions and
events.
Before we close the circle I ask that
we visualize us forming a circle of
light together, so that we can collectively
send out healing energy to those who
have made requests for help and healing.
Lets us reach down deep within ourselves
and connect with and bring forth all
the love and light that dwells there.
We will now combine with this the
healing energy available to us from
within the universe. Visualize Rainbow
Rays of light passing through your
charkas. Project these rays to the
ones who have requested our help knowing
that each person will receive exactly
what he or she need for the best possible
outcome. Those who have requested
healing are:
Allen, Andrew, Cindy, Cody, Darlene,
Dee, Eva, Goran, Harry, Ian, Ingrid,
Jean, Jessie, Joe, Joyce, Judith,
Kevin, Liz, Lucy, Miriam, Nadine,
Norma, Pauline, Peter, Ruth, Stuart,
Sue, Tom, Tracy, Tub and Rainbows
Mum Claire
So Mote It Be
Before we close I
think we should visualize any stray
energy that we have generated. Mentally
drawn back into the circle and direct
it to the person directly in front
of you.
Thank you for coming
and sharing your energy within the
circle.
The Circle Is Now
