Color Breathing Meditation6. To emphasize the star tetrahedron, the triangle group holds their armsat the knee level of the center person. The group may have to kneel or use astool for the center person.7. In order to explore this thoroughly, participants trade roles until eachhas been in the two triangles and the center position.We now have a symbolic base from which we can move into action. The colors of the rainbow representthe building blocks of life throughout our dimensional construction. When we consider these energies asalive, we will experience them in a full dimensional way that is organic to our cosmic or archetypalnature. As we practice this viewpoint, we build a relationship to the wholeness of life. We revive oursense of kinship with all that is. Each color passes through a wide range of meanings as well. Each coloris an archetype enfolding the various contours of meaning derived from cultural and individualexperience. We can view colors as a matrix that forms life in particular functions; then, within that, weenhance or distort the color matrix with implication of our meaning. Colors are universal archetypes,appearing across time and culture.Just as our physical body is the center of our self meaning in the physical/ego world, weorganize our sense of cosmic or soul self in terms of our center. We all have felt a state that werecognize as “centered.” It is a very secure and strong experience. Our center, as we observe in thediagrams, is also an axis that is continuous from above, through the center of our body (typicallythrough our spine) and extending below. We organize archetypal meaning along this center. We couldcall it a soul-axis. When centered we access our sense of self from our soul. A centered state ofconsciousness enables us to re-evaluate the sense of self (ego)that we developed from the reflected events in the physicalworld.As a means of activating our awareness, and to explorethe archetypal relationship between Kadmon and our individualsense of self, we will use the color breathing meditation. I liketo refer to meditations, such as the color breathing meditation,as experiments. As such, we can practice a basic scientificprotocol, assessing our awareness before and after themeditation. The comparison leads to understanding theexperience of the meditation. The illustration provides a mapof the terrain we will explore.1. Sit in an open body posture that allows you to alignyourself is a symmetrical way.2. Take a deep breath and relax.42
