…is a magical journey into the world of colour and chakras. Meditative
painting exercises allow us to explore the essence of each colour in all
its nuances and to sense its influence on our body and mind. Letting
the colour pigment flow freely to and fro in the watery element, natural
movements arise quite spontaneously out of each colour. Observing
these in a serious, but playful manner, deep emotions may surface and
by sensing into our body, we can experience corresponding reactions
within the subtle energy flow of our Chakras.
Working with lots of water on paper suitable for the wet-in-wet painting
method, we begin with the faintest hue of each colour, increasing the
strength of pigment very slowly and gently. Making sure that no part of
the paper dries up, we can paint for as long as we enjoy playing with
the changing shapes and images arising out of the colour. If we are
open to them, they can give us messages from our subconscious and
help us to understand the function of the chakras and the natural law of
resonance.
We must first, however, accept the scientifically proven fact that all
matter consists of energy: our planet earth as well as the elements and
our bodies. Some of these energies swing in such high frequencies
that they remain invisible to our eyes because they do not manifest in
material form. Nevertheless, they do exist, just like the waves with
which we receive radio sounds, see television pictures, or sense the
warmth of the sun or the cold air of autumn winds. Similarly, do the
chakra-colours swing in different frequencies and form a subtle
energetic link to the spiritual world and natural environment, as well as
our body, mind and soul. An exploration of the true essence of each
colour can lead us to sensing their frequency and help us to recognise
the many faceted connections which exist between our body functions,
thoughts and emotions via the cosmic
rainbow bridge.
The images on this website are not exact representations of chakras,
as I do not claim any clairvoyant abilities. I have merely tried to express
the personal sensations of the chakras that have arisen during years of
exploring the colors in my watercolor paintings.
