Years ago, a friend sent me a prism to hang in my window. Now each morning, dozens of tiny rainbows dance across my walls—waves of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. All these rainbows emerging from the white light—their colors blending into rainbow harmonies.
These days, our nation and our world are too often divided by our differences. Our colors can become polarized—red or blue, right or wrong, us or them—instead of the greater harmony of rainbow colors emerging from the same white light.
Today, I invite you to visualize this greater harmony.
- Take a deep breath to relax and slowly breathe out.
- Breathing in, breathing out, feel your shoulders relax, your mind becoming more peaceful.
- As you continue breathing slowly and deeply, imagine a rainbow before you, with its radiant colors arching over you.
- Feel the colors surround you and feel yourself becoming part of this rainbow harmony.
- As you feel the harmony around you, recognize the different parts within you blending into radiant patterns.
- See the different colors blending into greater harmonies. Realizing that we're all connected in these patterns of light.
Later today, when you go outside or just look out your window at the natural world around you, focus on nature's patterns—the bright blue sky, the green trees, bright colored flowers, and, at the end of the day, the radiant rose and golden sunset. All the colors of nature blending together into patterns of greater harmony.
Then pause to reflect on how all of the colors of your life blend together, and how your life blends these colors into an overarching unity where there is no discord, no division, only a greater harmony that includes us all.
I wish you greater joy, beauty, and harmony in the days to come.
