How to Link Color Energy and Meditation to Transform Old Energy into New Beginnings

So far we've touched upon different colors in our wardrobes and how to access their metaphysical properties to create abundance and prosperity. But a few words I heard over the weekend got me thinking of why we sometimes hesitate or procrastinate to create what we want. Me? I often times hesitate when starting a new venture to the point that I am responsible for removing the wind away from the sails before the project even gets a chance to leave port. I have often thought the clear answer has been negative energies like fear or just feeling overwhelmed of not knowing which direction to take. Perhaps the answer is a bit more complex...

One of the words I heard this weekend was "guilt." The lecture revolved around the damage and influence guilt can conjure over you when you choose to hold on to it. If you hold on to inner guilt over past mistakes and choose to continue to bubble up these feelings after seeking or asking for forgiveness, you will not move forward. This statement stopped me in my tracks. Each time you think about the event or situation, you create a quicksand-like energy, keeping you stuck and in the same rut or cycle. 

It's hard moving forward from mistakes, especially when you acknowledge what you did and take full responsibility. As you start working with color energy, your wardrobe and living space, ask yourself these questions as you move about while getting dressed or changing the room's floor plan.

Do I have a recurring nagging feeling that continues to resurface? 
Is my life standing still, with no forward movement in sight?
Do I feel frustrated that events, circumstances or financial situations are not propelling in the direction I intended?

Well, if you answered yes to at least one of the questions, then you are holding on to some type of guilt, mistake-ridden feeling or a memory of something you would like to do over. Unfortunately, there are very few situations in life that we get a second chance to "do over." This includes business decisions that did not go as planned. For small business owners, entrepreneurs or even career-orientated fashionistas climbing up the business ladder, it is crucial to let go of any thoughts or feelings of guilt over misdirected business decisions, regrets or missed opportunities that keep you stuck. These regrets create a negative, fear-based energy around your business, ideas, product development or potential job interviews. Remember, money is a high-vibrating energy, guilt is low-vibrating, which will cancel out the intention you are putting forth with your color energy choices.

So, I would like to offer this point. If you truly feel apologetic, sorry or remorseful for whatever happened, you have acknowledged to the universe that you are aware of your mistake and that you know next time, when faced with a similar situation or decision, you will do better. This acknowledgement will become a release mechanism. Look at it as a wheel that can go in drive mode, full speed ahead, remain in neutral or stepping on the gas to go in reverse. Allow the catalyst to release these overpowering feelings of guilt, releasing any energy around you that is keeping you stuck and away from your new beginning.

Linking the color energy you have selected to your meditation session while letting go of this old, cobweb-like feeling of guilt will transform your situation into the new beginning you deserve. Take an internal inventory and write down the guilt-ridden feelings on paper. Once you meditate over it, make a concrete decision that once you discard of the paper, you discard, release and put to rest this feeling. Release these energies as you create your new beginning through meditation and visualization. Certain stones and crystals that attract money, success and abundance like Tourmaline, Citrine and Fluorite, also have dual metaphysical properties. Here are a few examples to help you release and create the new beginning you deserve.
Although Tourmaline helps you to draw in money, success and friendships, these chips also release healing energies. Make your own meditation companion to add to your next visualization session.

Narrow down what you need to release and work on . For example, Mookaite, helps you retain inner calm while  reassessing problems.
Include Mookaite to help you make clear decisions and encourage new experiences.
Fluorite will help you reduce your inner emotional involvement while releasing guilt.
Wear Fluorite to straighten your thoughts and gain new perspective over the situation.
Citrine has natural healing energies. Wear the nuggets to remove fear and help with emotional healing.
As always, create a prosperous week!
