Lesson 2: Gold
The Color of the Mental Body and Independence Welcome to week two! Now that you have familiarized yourself with the meditation procedure, it's time to start inviting more color into your life. This week we are working with Gold, the color of the mental body and independence. Located at the top of the head, Gold is often depicted in religious art work. People also know it as a halo or a golden crown. When I visualize this energy, I see it as a golden sun just behind the top of my head. We are all masculine and feminine by nature – the Gold light is considered the masculine aspect of energy. The gold light is used for prioritizing and goal setting. It helps transform all negative thought patterns and replaces them with positive thinking. Gold light is seen around entrepreneurs, inventors and people who enjoy being alone. Gold light invokes self-confidence, independence and a balanced ego. It is an appropriate color for self-employed people, and people who are trying to be more independent. Goals: • Your goal for this week is to pay close attention to your thoughts. We all have wandering thoughts. Gold will stimulate your mind and help direct your attention towards positivity. Naturally, on an average day some of our thoughts will be positive, and some may be negative and heavy. You may not even be aware of it, but random floating thoughts in your head can affect the outcome of your day and your life. o With the Gold light, we want to transform our thoughts to be powerful, strong and positive. The Gold light will help you focus on your ideas, and will block out any thought forms or negativity from anyone around you.
• This week I would like you to think of two things you hope to achieve, create, or become in your life. Hold these ideas in the gold light and try to accomplish them during the next seven days. It could be as simple as; organizing your garage, getting new business cards for an idea you have, registering a website domain name, trying a new class, or going back to the gym. Any goal that has been lingering in your mind will become positively energized with Gold. Simply put, it gives an extra pep in your step to complete that process. There are so many different ways to see Gold beyond your meditation. If I am ever feeling stuck or having trouble standing tall and proud, just a simple look to the sun reminds me of my gold energy at the top of my head.
Practical Application: This week, try these ideas for utilizing Gold: • Wearing jewelry is an easy way to harness Gold energy. If you own Gold jewelry, this is a great week to wear it. Look at or caress it during the day, and you will breathe in its powerful energy. Noticing Gold on other people or in a jewelry store window will also help you benefit from the Gold light. • Looking at religious artwork is a beautiful and relaxing way to invoke Gold's power. Many religious paintings utilize Gold leaf to achieve a radiant and golden glow.1 • Visit an art museum and gaze at the Gold in paintings. You can also use Google and look at images of Gold in artwork (I love the works of Gustav Klimt for this purpose!)2 • If you wear makeup, try a shimmery Gold eyeshadow and use it with the intention of invoking Gold energy. Every time you see and or think about Gold this week, you are invoking the 1

independent part of your consciousness.
What Can I Expect With Gold? • This week you may feel like having some alone time. With the Gold light, you will notice that your mind will do a lot of brainstorming. This is the chance for you to access this color and GET THINGS DONE. • When envisioning your dreams in Gold, remember that every bit of effort that you make pleases the Universe. Baby steps add up! • You may feel more confident and comfortable expressing your ideas. • People may comment that you seem more astute, accomplished, worry-free and steadfast in your opinions.
Personal Thoughts: In your journals this week I'd like you to focus on your dreams. Is there something in your life you have always wanted to do? Finish school? Take up a new language? Ask for a raise? Ask someone out for a coffee date? Move? Invest money? Let the Gold light train its energy on your personal goals. This is the week to hold yourself accountable. You have limitless potential, and it is bursting to come out!
