Book Description
"Is there also such a thing as 'the essence of color'? For me, the essence is the spiritual aspect that lives in color. Making this spiritual aspect accessible is the purpose of this book." -- Kees Veenman We are all familiar with the world of color, but can we learn to experience color more intensely? Can we learn to penetrate colors in a more profound way? This book takes the reader into the activity of the colors of the spectrum by investigating them meditatively. The author explains aspects of color phenomenology and prepares the reader for color meditations, including some that he has incorporated into his own personal practices. Kees Veenman, a phenomenologist who specializes in colors, begins by observing the spring gold and the autumn gold of trees before introducing the phenomenological method whereby his research connects with Goethe's theory of color and that of Rudolf Steiner. Using numerous examples and experiments, Veenman guides the reader toward the dynamics and essence of colors, describing his research into the nature of colors along with fresh questions that help us penetrate the world of colors ever more deeply. The author also considers light therapy and the relationship of colors to the seasons, as well as to fairytales. The reader is encouraged to meditate with and in colors to discover and experience, among other things, consciousness of Christ. All of this is presented with clear descriptions supplemented with color images. Color Meditation is for those who want to appreciate the phenomena and wonders--the being--of color more deeply and fully understand how color can enrich one's soul and spiritual activity. "The correspondence between the emergence and effect of a color outside us and the appearance within us is found in the polarity between light and darkness. Light is a symbol of clear day consciousness, whereas darkness represents the impenetrability of the will. Here we come to the intimate relationship between the world of colors and that of human consciousness with its active and passive side." -- Christine Gruwez (foreword) Translated by Laura Liska from Kleurmeditatie (Uitgeverij Pentagon, Amsterdam, 2015). Cover image by Beppe Assenza (1905-1985): Eklipse, watercolor, 23.5 x 20.5 in.
The Color Meditation Deck
Author: Lisa Solomon
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 161180938X
Category : Color
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"With 62 cards, The Color Meditation Deck offers over 500 potential combinations for endless color meditation opportunities. This deck gives you the mental space to concentrate on the act of creating itself instead of the anxiety that facing a blank page can give. It also adds a layer of surprise and challenge, helping you to break out of "creator's block" and find fresh inspiration. Draw a color meditation card (such as "triangles") and a parameter card (such as "only 3 colors"), grab your watercolors and paper, and get creative! Paint triangles in rows using red, yellow, and green. Or paint them in a star-shaped pattern. Or paint them willy-nilly across the page in all different sizes (equilateral? isosceles?). You can begin with the full-strength colors and then slowly add in white to tint them lighter each row. The options are endless and it's totally up to you! You can do quick versions in 5-10 minutes or really slow down and have them last as long as you'd like. The cards will not only lead you to a new relationship with paint and color but will offer a meditative break that can open you up for ideas and inspiration in all areas of your life. The deck is a perfect companion to A Field Guide to Color for anyone looking for even more color meditations, but with a booklet of some basic color theory, materials, and suggestions for how to get started, the deck also stands alone for creators who haven't yet experienced the book"--

These techniques involve meditation, Reiki , methods to attract and absorb positive, healing energy, using positive thinking, prayer, love, kindness, love of self and others, positive thinking and action and chakra balancing and aura protection to heal depression and other mood disorders These techniques also bolster our ability to consciously refrain from generating negative energy and also end obsessive thinking, mental spinning and ruminations that bombard us with negative enrgy and drain us of vital life force energy.
