Last night I met my friend Vera over tea. She is a sparkling and insightful lightworker who is a writer, software development and drives an eco-friendly taxi cab (often in full costume!). Of the many things we spoke of, one that partiularly fascinated me was color and clothing. It really got me thinking about why I dress the way I do.

I don't remember when it started exactly. I think it was when I was in LA and accelerating my hooping practice. But a couple years back I found that all I wanted to wear was brightly colored clothes. Oh! I remember! I remember I was living in LA and my roomate Dawn and I started organizing our closets by color. Each of us had a spectacular rainbow of garb in our closets and it was so great. It was actually really neat as well because the hundreds of hoops I made were also quite rainbow in design and hue, each with exciting and different combinations of color. You know, really it was probably playing with colors making hoops which brought this on...

Anyways, I really started to notice how different colors carried a different vibration, a different feeling. I simply remember feeling *really* good while wearing certain colors, and of course these would change over the weeks and months to include new tones as well. I found that I could purposefully choose to wear a certain color that would actually help lift me up and out of resistance and emotional blocks.

This is why I choose to wear the colors I do now. In a really indescribable, visceral way, it feels *good*! I feel as if bright colors uplift my spirits and keep me anchored to a certain resonance which helps me stay positive and inspired. I purposefully avoid blacks and browns and dark colors, simply because I feel they don't have the medicine I need at the moment to step it up to the next level within.

I've studied Chakras for years and I sort of take for granted the medicinal aspects of each hue, and I suppose that also plays a part in what I choose to wear for the day as well. I actually realize as I am writing this that I use color in my daily visualizations quite a bit, and it is soothing for me.

I remember when I also went through "white" streaks as well. Even out to nightclubs here in the city and everywhere.... honestly, in all white or rainbow colors in a cool and foggy city, I generally stand out. I wish that I didn't stand out all the time, actually. It would be quite wonderful to be constantly surrounded by people wearing wonderful jewel tones which I coud bathe my eyes in as well... but this is where I am now! I simply appreciate those richly adorned with colors when I see them. I know that when I move to the islands, this visual tonic of colors will surround me everywhere. I'm patient with the process.

It is interesting because my friend Vera is going through a "black", edgier phase right now and she wondered what I may think of it. I didn't really think anything of it as I know that I too have delved into black at times. I really think it is all about the medicine. For whatever reason, black is POWER. It is so vast and can feel very nurturing, to be wrapped in the void galactic space in that fashion. Something you can fill with anything.... I dont have any judgement of what other people choose to wear, but really an equisite awareness of what I want to wrap myself up into. Perhaps it is because I have a very deep ongoing healing process going on and the vibrations of color are part of my own process of unfolding...

So, as I was taking my morning walk by Stow Lake today I contemplated this and suddenly an image of "Rainbow Brite" came into my mind... the 80's cartoon figure. It is interesting because honestly I never watched the cartoon when I was a child, nor do I know anything about her character or storyline. None the less, this image of fairy-like sprite dressed in the colors of the rainbow, surrounded by sparkling lights and a pixie-like smile came into my mind. When I thought of her, it was a really light, bright, joyous vibration and I could almost imagine tinkling laughter. I realized that this sweet angelic medicine of color is an energetic which feels very soothing and nurturing to my body, very pure and uplifting to my cells. So I'll play with this image over the coming days and see what emerges...

I found today's image online and the words really seem to capture something I feel in all of this...

Here's to Rainbow Angel Medicine!
