Change is a Colorful Process: Embrace It!
One fall day, I was compelled to share what I found to be a beautiful leaf with my friends and family. While I was out with my dogs I was struck by this leaf. When I sent it to friends via text, many asked "is that real?"
The tricolors in the leaf is what captured my attention. I never saw one leaf that embodied these three colors in this way. It inspired me to think about change and how colorful it can be if we embrace change and allow ourselves to gradually move through each color of change as it occurs in our lives.
Take some time in this moment to think about your personal change process in a colorful way. Open your mind and your heart to the words and sensations coming your way. Let this be the moment that you start the art and practice of Embracing Change in your life.
Green, Yellow & Red Symbolism
Interestingly if you were coming to a stop light or waiting for the light to change, we know that the yellow color is the one that is going to lead us into action. We are either going to slow down to prepare to stop for the red light or we are patiently (sometimes not so patiently) going to prepare to move forward when the light turns green. That would simply mean that we are running quickly to change. We can notice how determined we are and honor that and choose to slow down for safety. Either way we win by noticing the values within that choice.
Think about yellow as the process for moving through the stages of change and realize that sometimes you slow down or perhaps speed up as you change. Either way is okay. Allow yourself to sway with the motion of either slowing down or speeding up. Getting in tune with your inner rhythm helps to keep you in balance. Yellow is the color connected to the solar plexus chakra which helps get us in touch with our identity. Identify with your wide range of inner rhythms when moving with yellow change and allow your authentic self to guide you--your true identity without judgement or social constructs. Be you. Be real.
Green can be symbolic to transformation of change. Think of green as a new life as in spring green when see new leaves blooming preparing for a new season that gently sways over us in the gentleness of summer winds. Allow yourself to sway as you change. Feel the ebbs and flows. Be mindful of how you may feel. You may move into change with some trepidation while you are excited about how you are changing and moving toward a renewed you.
Green is also the representative color of the heart chakra which is the balance point for all chakras. A balanced heart chakra is expressed in acceptance of self and others, personal values and ethics, following one's unique direction in life. A balanced Heart Chakra means expansion, freedom and growth.
When ridding yourself of negativity in your life at home, work and play your heart expands and you begin to feel liberated from the side effects of negativity. You grow and transform. Embracing green as this color of change brings you into balance and creates peace within you representing universal love and acceptance.
Red is the time we may need to stop and allow change into our lives. Take this time for meditation and reflection. Take time to breathe and trust in yourself and in knowing that change is colorful and with each color we gain wisdom and important life lessons. Allow this vibration to flow through you. It takes courage to change and strategic planning.
Think of red as the fire of success that you are lighting within you. Red is the color of our blood symbolic of our life force and vitality. By allowing time to stop and reflect in this moment, you are increasing your enthusiasm, interest and gaining more energy. Red helps you gain protection from fear and anxiety thereby releasing you to acquire action and confidence to go after your dreams. Having more positivity in your life enhances your blood flow and circulation.
Every moment and season is a time to realize by reflecting and learning from our past. Analyzing how that information can guide us and then maximizing us for true success.
