I am surprised that these are not colors that supercharging really utilizes! I know you can, it's just surprising that they weren't found to be a big part of it, like the 12 colors that are.

Also, Indigo doesn't seem like a true color even lol.. feel free to post your thoughts for me, Charlie

P.S. Do many of you use extra colors in your 12 color meditations?

The 12 colors are the colors that are present in a healthy body. They harmonize and balance a system. The other colors have effects but not from from the same perspective. They are parts of the other colors, that is contained within them already.

The basic seven chakras follow the primary and secondary colors.

Red, Yellow, Blue - primary colors
red/yellow = orange - secondary color
yellow/blue = green - secondary color
blue/red = purple

All colors are part of a spectrum of white light. From there - everything is comprised of a tint or a hue - combining the various colors in beautiful mixtures and not so beautiful mixtures. It makes sense that the colors of health and wholeness are combinations.

I often use the 7 basic colors when doing chakra work and clearing. I do not combine other colors or modalities with the 12 color meditation - it just doesn't fit or sit right.

And indigo? It is just a really awesome blue - like a color crayon - I had trouble with that color until I actually saw a rainbow from a prism and then it was "Ooooh - so that's the color!"

Here is the link to learn more about the color indigo.

cool! Thanks, Ali!

OK I was checking out those wikipedia articles, about the indigo dye and the color indigo//
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo

So at my link, which color is the correct indigo apparently? Is it the indigo 'dye' color or one of the others, there is a whole list of various shades of indigo and violet and purple lol! Should be interesting to pick one out!

Hi Charlie

Looking at the bottom of your link...

It actually shows indigo (emboldened type) specifically under both "shades of blue" and "shades of violet".

It's at the boundary between these two colours - which might explain it's place in the rainbow!

I've seen great butterflies that shade in Australia - wonderful sight.

My wife's bridesmaids were in indigo coloured dresses at our wedding - so I've nothing but good memories associated with the colour.

Love,


John

hi Charlie and all -

I had trouble with indigo at first too. Then I started visualizing blueberries or blueberry juice as a color "cue" and that helps me.

I also add an extra color to my 12 (13!) color meditation. When I took the supercharging workshop, and for some time thereafter, I kept seeing a yellow-green (sort of chartreuse) color in my energy field - and I don't typically see colors in that way, so that seemed significant. The instructor suggested I was seeing this because I was particularly needing those colors.

So, I figured I'd give myself an extra "dose" whenever I do the meditation (at least once a day, usually) and added in yellow-green between yellow and green - I realize this is not the official procedure, but it does seem to be giving me an additional boost of those energies which I agree I need!

I also use pink alot as a healing color, but not as part of 12-color meditation - so I guess I am somewhat of a purist (!) I often combine pink with u-nan, however.

Thanks and blessings to you all -

Yes. Since Cyan is a transition mixture of blue and green, I thought that the other transitions should have intermediate mixed colors also. So, I put chartruese between yellow and green, and lavender between blue and magenta. I give the transition mixtures half of the time that I give to the other colors.

Actually, there are different color systems with different primary colors. In the "painter" system, red-blue-yellow are the 3 primary colors and everything else is made from combinations of them. In the "printer" system, magenta-cyan-yellow are the primaries.

Hi Charlie
It has been a while since i didn't post anything in this forum. I thought red, orange,and pink already have its pair in 12 colors meditation. Colors like red has its pair with cyan (blue green), pink is pair with green, orange is pair with blue. Its already paired in our nature of Gaia. If you observe, you can note them almost everywhere: flowers, birds, butterflies, fishes, etc. When you look at these nature beings, they frequently induce a feeling of beauty. These color pairs vibrate happiness and harmony.

I think that orange could actually be missing and should maybe be part of the color meditation. I see it always as a very thin very clear light orange between the white and the violet in the core, and again between the magenta and the mother-of-pearl. I also found a beautiful image from a prism that I altered slightly and I use it as my computer desktop background, because the colors make me feel peaceful and help with imagining the colors of the meditation. You can see it underneath my name to the left of my post here.

The image is beautiful, Marian. Almost meditative to look at.

Hi Chris!

My sincere apologies for taking so long to respond to you - I'm still learning about the etiquette for positing here.

I'm glad you like the image. I find it immediately restful to look at. With a right mouse-click, you can save it as an image to your computer and then make it larger with Windows Paint or other graphics software. I find it seems easier to really "get" all the image has to offer if it's a little bit bigger.

The original image can be found here:

INTERPRETATION, PERCEPTION AND COGNITION IN VISION

The original image has a little grey dot in the center of the white, so using Paint I sprayed a little white over the grey dot for my desktop background and the image I'm using here.

The subject of color perception is an interesting one, and during my search for an image to help with the 12 color meditation, I learned that most human beings have trichromatic color vision (meaning they perceive color in three channels), and that about ten percent of women have an extra channel for perceiving color giving them tetrachromatic color vision. For more info on tetrachromaticity, see:

Some women may see 100 million colors, thanks to their genes

No problem on not responding promptly -- or at all for that matter! I did set the image as my desktop background. I seriously could gaze at it for hours, I think. I love color.
