I am quite sure you have been pondering the deeper meaning behind spending your time counting everything yellow that you encounter; what a silly activity to engage in, especially for an adult. My invitation for reflection is the following.
You have had a couple of weeks break from noticing the color red. What difference have you observed in how you approached and engaged this assignment – that is the challenge to notice the color yellow – when contrasted with the assignment several weeks ago which was to notice the color red?
Did you accept this assignment more willingly? Were you more dedicated to keeping the count each day? Did you reach the count of 100 each day when you were counting yellow?
In contrast, when counting red did you find some days that you literally did not notice anything red? Did you notice with the challenge to notice red that you encountered some hesitation, some resistance, some distaste for that assignment whereas the assignment this week (the assignment to notice the color yellow) seemed to go more smoothly?
Part of the reason the challenge this week might have been easier of course may be that you had some practice doing it. There is another reason altogether you might have experienced a difference.
Yellow as a frequency is a mental frequency. It is the frequency we resonate at when we are engaged in mental activity. As I am recording this mindfulness challenge to notice the color yellow, I am resonating at the equivalent frequency of yellow. I am on what we call the mental level.
Many individuals who currently experience symptoms of Parkinson’s tend to stay on that yellow frequency wave band. Lots of thinking, lots of thoughts – many of which are not in your best and highest good. It helps, then, to turn down the volume on the mental level which opens the door to allowing other delicious states of awareness to unfold. Of course resonating at the mental level (the equivalent of yellow) is the reason for prior successes and victories. It is a gift. It is a skill to have strengthened this particular level of the human energy field.
It is also important, however, to balance our energy field out and to acknowledge the role of all the levels (and frequencies) including red, which is that grounding level that helps stabilize our mobility and our intention to recover fully and completely. Acknowledge now any difference you might have noticed between doing the two assignments; between noticing yellow and red. Acknowledge that health and wellness is a function of balance – of being able to absorb the color red and the color yellow in balanced doses.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being mental. It certainly benefited me throughout my entire life. The disadvantage of living a life solely on the mental level is when that is the only frequency level we tend to operate on, when that is the frequency we are always resonating at,
- We do not feel our feelings.
- We do not feel connected to Mother Earth.
- We are not deeply connected to others.
- We isolate ourselves.
- We withdraw and literally wither away.
Living life in constant fear can be a consequence. Becoming anxious about each new challenge in life can become a habit.
To maintain a vibrant energy field with all chakras open and all meridians cleared it is important to resonate with frequencies at all levels of the energy field. There are many frequencies of course. Here we are only talking about two levels of the field (or two frequencies) – the ones specifically associated with the colors yellow and red.
Enjoy the rest of the week as you continue to notice yellow and if you so wish add to the challenge the task of noticing red at the same time. If in fact you notice now that it is a little easier to find yellow than it is to find red, I assure you it is not because there is a deficiency of the color red in the world. It really is all about resisting being connected with that grounding frequency of red in favor of the mental frequency which is equivalent to the color yellow.
May you have a delightful time the rest of the week as you continue to even out the resonances of frequencies throughout your human energy field and as you become mindful of the richness of all colors and frequencies. With greater mindfulness your journey down the road to recovery will become effortless.
