COLOR WHEEL READING
During the fall of 2021, I learned of Cosmopolitan writer Sarah Potter's color expertise and for my research, I booked a 2022 Color Wheel of the Year reading with her. Then after our morning January 4, 2022 session, she emailed me a digital picture of the color cards she pulled earlier, and a digital journal for me to write entries onto. Her introduction and the January journal prompt, followed by my entry looks like this:
Color Wheel of the Year for Gina – 2022
Each color holds a specific vibration, energy, and intention. Throughout time, color has been used for healing, entertainment, beautification, and adornment. When we understand how to invoke the magic of each hue of the rainbow, we can use this energy as an ally in our everyday lives to affect our moods, our inspirations, and our overall well-being. Through our reading, a selection of 12 colors was intuitively selected for you, and you may begin this year long cycle whenever you desire, but I do believe the start of the next calendar month is a fantastic time to begin! How do you invoke these colors? I am so glad you asked! ;) We spoke a bit about it in our time together, but my favorite ways are as follows:
- Personal adornment (clothing, makeup, hair, nails)
- Home decor (plants, bedding, fresh flowers, paint if you feel ambitious!)
- Candle Magic
- Food & Drinks
- Meditation & Color Breathing Visualizations
- Journal Prompts
When meditating on a color, close your eyes, take a few centering deep breaths, and imagine yourself enveloped in a cloud of your chosen cloud. Let this cloud fill you with the energy of this particular shade of energy. Imagine yourself breathing in the color and send it swirling through every point of your body. Feel the magic of that color within you. Slowly breathe out this color. Do this for several minutes every day or whenever you see fit. (Follow your intuition!)
Each month, notice how the energy of this color comes to you. Where does it appear in your surroundings? When does it catch your eye? Be aware of the color within your own space and routine as well as when you are out and about. How does each color make you feel at the beginning of the month? How does each color make you feel at the end of each month? Notice the development of your relationship with each color.
