The Color of Change

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.

–Charles F. Kettering

The weathercock on the church spire though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm wind if it did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind.

-Heinrich Heine

Welcome change as a friend; try to visualize new possibilities and the blessings it is bound to bring you…Never stop learning and never stop growing; that is the key to a rich and fascinating life.

–Alexander de Seversky


Change? Yes We Can! Well, maybe not…I have just got to write about change this week. I have put it off because it is so politically fueled with all the rhetoric about health care and the current administration’s dedication to change. In fact, the current administration was elected on the concept of change so what is all the fuss about?

It is about fear; fear is what the fuss is about.

Why would the “collective” consciousness be any different than an individual when it comes to change? I mentioned in my entry: “The Frequency of Thought” that individuals are afraid to change, which is one reason why I often use the word “shift” instead of “change”.

Just how is change manifested in your energetic system? The color that gets my attention in your energy field more than any is the color red. Red IS all about change. It is swift, fast, and often emotional depending on the temperature of the red. Warm red pushing toward orange and what I call “Chinese Red” is far more emotional and swift than the cooler reds pushing toward a brick or maroon. Red in your energetic system can also indicate pain, yet when you think about it, pain is there to 1) get our attention and 2) initiate change (usually immediate change).

The two areas in the energetic system that represent change and movement are feet and anywhere to your left side, which represents energy coming INTO your life. Feet represent moving forward and when there is red, particularly on the underside of your feet then it tells me you are ready to jump from the frying pan into the fire! It may or may not represent moving forward, as you may be jumping back and forth frantically or perhaps going around in a circle with one foot nailed to the floor. It is all about your attitude toward change that signifies the direction of the shift (or lack thereof). When you resist the change, then there is a good chance your body will react in some manner in order to coerce you into shifting.

On the left side there are several indicators of change, a thin red line in your field is more like a hiccup or a “ripple in the force” as I call it. It is often something or someone that you have attracted in order to get your attention or perhaps set your direction for the next few months. It is a shift more than a dramatic change. The band of colors that precede or follow the thin red band will give me a clue as to what instigates the change and what is to follow the change. For instance, if it is preceded by a band of blue, then yellow and then there is the thin red band, my perception is that you are going to be voicing your truth,(blue=communication and truth) your opinion and stand up for your beliefs (yellow is ego, self) and in doing so, you will create a shift in your current circumstances.

I would interpret this as a good thing to do, speak up for your self, because it will bring about the shift you desire…as that red is thin. If the band were wide and heavy moving into your field I would refer to it as a tidal wave of change. This would tell me that I need to prepare you for big changes, perhaps even letting you know that speaking your truth will have permanent and lasting ramifications…change in job or career, partner, spouse, money, house, whatever is needed to get you where you need to go!  The abruptness of the wave signals a dramatic shift in circumstances. If I get the impression that you are ready for the shift, then I will work with that and help you prepare.

If I get the impression that you do not see it coming,  rather than alarm you, we will focus on the benefits of change and the importance of setting intentions, dreams and goals. Intuitives or practitioners that would focus on the sense of loss or dramatic change are not working for the highest good of the client. (And there are plenty out there that do feed off a client’s fear). Instilling fear will establish fear in the client’s thought frequency, thus creating more chaos rather than offering direction. My job is to give you direction, not give you warnings and instill fear for my own validations.

Free will secures our ability to shift our thoughts

and shift what we attract into our lives.

For so many, change represents loss. We think in order to change we have to leave behind things we treasure and people we love. Change is not about loss, change is about new beginnings… change is a reset button. Chances are, somewhere in the past 3, 6, or 9 months YOU put it out there that you wanted change. So often we ask for it and don’t even realize that we have ordered it right off the menu!

Look at the negative scripting that brings on the swift changes in your energy and your life. I also have a few key phrases at my Frequency of Thought entry…and here I wanted to show you an actual e-mail I received, I will only pull out a few excerpts, but you will get the idea of how this type of mindset can bring in the tidal wave of red because it was INVITED in with ALL this NEGATIVE scripting…poverty consciousness is one thing, it is where we choose to reside vibrationally, yet asking for a huge shift often leads to one smack after another.

Keep in mind, this is just one person, one letter, but powerful in what it requesting from the Universe. Believe it or not, on down the road will be a request for a reading and probably a quip of “I didn’t see this coming…”

If I hadI should have come close…I had …for over six monthsI gave… I pay … I pay for … I took out the full amount … paid for….I may be losing my job … because of the lack of work.  That would also mean the loss of the company car… I was able to take a new position…It did not come with a raise and I would lose the company car…I bought another car …was not able to withstand the daily commute.  …helps offset the 2 to 3 thousand dollars loss in benefits to having the company car.  I did get a raise the second week in January. realize that I do not have a pot of goldI am close to foreclosurethreatening me. I guess I do not understand…

Do you recognize anyone you know in the above passage? What can you do to switch that around? The thoughts AND the language have to be shifted in order to stop attracting the same situations.

I talk about shifting language, shifting thoughts in several entries, (Sabotage and Self-Hypnosis) but if you really want to shift or know someone in need of help, recognizing the scripts are negative is the first step in recovery, then the hypnosis audio, Vibrating Whealthy! is a great support system.

Our collective conscious, our country, is in the midst of a tidal wave of red. Unfortunately, what is also influenced with this color of change, this wave of red, are fear and survival issues, anger, even rage, directed at our government, and our politicians. Red is about raw human emotions, so that coupled with the potential for change, which so many of you regard as loss, brings little surprise that the climate is as volatile and unreasonable as it is.

Red is about reaction, not action and many out there are using the actions of others to justify their emotional reactions. The irony in all of this from an energy standpoint, is that the anger, rage, and fear responses from individuals will create and bring in that same energy and perpetuate the emotions and the fear.

All of these issues and concerns are base energy issues about survival, physical as well as financial. Our collective environment is no different than the e-mail excerpt I posted above! You cannot solve an issue while you are in the same energy that created it. So unless we make the connection between our collective consciousness, our collective opinion and the anger, fear, and focus on survival issues within our own private life, we will continue to experience the chaos and rage that is encompassing our communities. Like attracts like, that is why there is a mob mentality regarding beliefs and the polarizing aspect of current events.

I am amazed at the division of the American people in regards to the health care bill, really I am. My job is to look at the energy on both sides of the coin, not to judge or decide which is best. The solution for this current state of affairs is to focus on where the benefits reside, what are the positive aspects of what is happening in our lives? in our government? in our leadership? That is where the energy and emotions need to be directed. It is not solely about directing our individual energy in order to benefit ourselves personally, it is just as important to focus on the positives of what creates our communities, our cities, our states, and our country. We can bring in positive waves of energy and color if we all begin to believe in the inherent goodness of our thoughts.

Fear, condemnation, and negativity will perpetuate circumstances to support those thought frequencies. How emotional are you about our current state of affairs? Take a breath and look at how those critical emotions are reflected in your life, your health, and your finances.Base tissue issues are all about foundation, and manifest in the tissues and organs that are related to solids: bones, teeth, joints, muscles, colon, bowel, nails, hair…any of these things ring a bell? If you said, “yes” then it is time to manage your energy.

Want things to shift?

Begin within.

Let’s change the big red tidal wave of rage, anger, and fear to the subtle and comfortable shift of green’s new beginnings. It is not about the revolution of red, it is about the evolution of green. I personally want to put my thoughts and my energy toward progress and peace. On that note, have a wonderful week, and blessings to you. Catherine

The Color of Tithing

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance that no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

–W.H. Murray


“>

Doing a little research for my “Go With the Flow” entry at CatherinePoole.com, I decided to look into the numerology surrounding the terms I was using. I was trying to determine if the words we use to describe our financial venues reflect the energy that surrounds them. Well, I have to say, I am surprised myself and this stuff never ceases to amaze me!

So often we associate the color of money with green. Green is all about abundance, new beginnings, relationships with God, self, and others.  When I see a huge wave of green in someone’s energetic system it most often represents money and abundance coming into their life, whether through a job shift, promotion, or some other means. Green is good stuff! The color of the “money” green is a richer hue, not quite a forest green, but it is a cooler green with more blue in it than yellow. Blue is associated with business, so that rich green is abundance filled with opportunity and that is most certainly what money represents.

The word, “Tithe” vibrates to an 8, which known as the “business number” as it represents money, executive leadership, and the ability to build something from nothing. I define Tithing as “an exchange of energy”, and when you put the 8 on its side you have a Lemniscate, or the symbol for eternity and that is all about flow, flow, flow…The color associated with the literal word “tithe” is a deep wine red, similar to what we see in Churches (go figure). This deep red is all about survival, and base center emotions. The number 1 is also associated with the base center, but it is a warmer red, having the yellow of ego influence its energy. In your body red is about foundation, and is reflected in solid matter such as bones, muscles, spinal column, even teeth and nails. Red represents beliefs that formulates your foundation in life, such as family, job, politics, and religion.

“Tithing” itself vibrates to a 6 which is all about nurturing and care giving. The color for this is violet, which in a sense is the “flip” side of the deep wine red. Tithe has more red and prompts action (to tithe) due to obligation, red “lights the fire” so to speak. “Tithing” is ‘now’ oriented, something you are in the process of doing so the red can back off and allow the loyalty of blue to inspire.

I have never done the numerology on the word “money” itself. And I am often fascinated to see how numbers correlate with color, as it is all energy. Often, your life lesson number (the totality of your dd/mm/yyyy reduced to a single digit) corresponds to your favorite color! Again, all amazing coincidences, right? Well…I don’t think so!

Interestingly enough, the numerology speaks volumes in regard to the words I researched. I kept adding words just to see what they reflected as far as energy, yes I got a bit carried away I must admit but it is fascinating to see how they do reflect energetically exactly what they represent in our lives.

Money             18/9               Service

Credit              14/5               Chaos

Tithe                8                     Money and Flow

Cash                4                      Foundation, Family

Barter              28/10/1         Independence, Individuality

Gold                11/2                 Visionary, Diplomat

Silver               13/4                Foundation, investing in self

Invest               8                     Money and Flow

Investment    6                       Nurturing and Care giving

Value               16/7                 Spiritual Seeking (nurturing self! 1+6)

Worth              12/3                 3 is Self-Worth!

Wealth             15/6                 Nurturing (taking risks to achieve the balance)

Wealthy          13/4                 Foundation, (building) investing in self

Bankrupt         13/4                 Foundation, (tearing down) investing in self

Bankruptcy     14/5                 Chaos

Foreclosure     2                      Balance, Person-to-Person

Repossession    10/1      Immediate Manifesting (be careful what you wish for!)

Money vibrates to a 9, which is the humanitarian number. This number is about unconditional love, 9 is about service to others and is about attainment and completion. I also look at what type of “9” it is, and ‘money’ is an 18/9. 1 is about self, individuality, independence and “8” is THE number for money and finances. (BTW “finances” is an 8!).

“Money” literally is about an individual (1) tithing (8) in order to be of service to others (9).

Both the 1 and 8 are base center, survival, money, and foundation numbers, as I mentioned above, yet I could even go a little further and have you take note that “Tithe” means “tenth” so the number 10/1 is also represented. It is another 1, but 10 is known as the manifesting number! If you have a 10 in a prominent position in your chart I always advise you to be careful what you ask for as it can manifest very quickly! Good or bad.

Now, I ask you to think about the difference between cash and credit? The transaction is complete with money, and that again is the 9 vibration: completion. When a cash transaction takes place, it is done.

Credit is a continuous cycle of frustration and hell. The name “credit” vibrates to a 14/5, which is a karmic number: learning about freedom by having it restricted. Also, 5 IS the number of excess, chaos, adventure, and what I call “sex, drugs, and rock & roll”. But in reality, a 5 is always in motion and never is about completion! And there you have it. Take note that the other 14/5 karmic number in the list is “bankruptcy”.

It is interesting to see how some of the terms have the same number vibrations, yet the terms can be applied in a completely different context. For example, a 4 is all about family, foundation, but can also represent drama (good or bad). So to see “wealthy” and “bankrupt” together, not only as 4 but as 13/4 is amazing to me. Again, 1 is all about self and individuality, 3 is all about worth and self-worth. Both terms can determine our foundation based on our own worth, and how many millionaires and billionaires filed bankruptcy in order to start all over again with a new company, new foundation?

ABUNDANCE WORKSHOP

Saturday March 27, 2010 2-5 pm

This weekend I will be conducting a workshop on Abundance and will explain a bit more about numbers, corresponding colors and what they can communicate. You can also use numbers and colors to shift your current energy and attract to you what you need to keep the money flowing. I don’t have enough room to go into all the numbers but hope this gives you an awareness of the energy that surrounds us and how it reflects our current state of being. I hope you had as much fun reading this as I did researching and writing about it!

Blessings, and have a great week!

The Color of Confidence

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I will be presenting a workshop on

ABUNDANCE

at the Waterfalls of Wellness Healing Center

Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 2:00-5:00 pm
739 Bluff City Highway
Bristol, TN 37620

The difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says, ‘Go!’ -a leader says, ‘Let’s go!’.

E. M. Kelly

You weren’t an accident, You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the Earth by the Master Craftsman.

-Max Lucado



I think I need to sub-title this, “An Ode to Teachers” because they are mustering up the colors of confidence on a daily basis. In fact, it is because of one teacher (and there are many of you there at John S. Battle High School in Bristol, Virginia…) that inspired this week’s entry, her name is Mrs. Linda Waldron.

I had the pleasure of taking my daughter to Richmond last week for the state finals of Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest. (POL for short!). The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation have partnered with State Arts Agencies, in our case it was Virginia, to support this wonderful endeavor. To be honest, I had not heard of it before Sarah came home and stated she was in the regional contest.

This contest was established for high school students across the country to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance and at the same time, master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. It also revives the lost art of poetry recitation. It requires extra effort in an already challenging educational system on the teacher’s part to integrate the contest within the classroom therefore, not all schools participate.

My daughter Sarah, was fortunate to have a teacher, Mrs. Linda Waldron that felt passionate about this program and went above and beyond her expected duties as a teacher and offer this as part of her curriculum. She spent much time with Sarah and other’s preparing for the regional level, and yes, building confidence.

Energy is color, color is energy, so confidence is not only built within an energy system, it is transferred from one confident person to another. Teacher’s such as Mrs. Waldron build a student’s confidence because they offer “deposits” of self-esteem and self-worth through their support and belief that the student can achieve.

It is important to remind ourselves, that as we build and support others, we must make sure we too, are depositing the same energy within ourselves.

You can’t give what you don’t have!

And that is one reason why teachers can become so worn out and depleted, they put themselves at the bottom of the “to do” list. I only wish that Mrs. Waldron could have experienced the performances in Richmond, perhaps next year she will reap the reward. Taking pride in your mentoring and coaching by witnessing the student’s own confidence is a deposit in and of itself.

It was an amazing experience, not only to witness each of the twenty-two contestants present the poems of great poets but also to see the energy on that stage. It is interesting to note that these poems were complex works, all memorized and presented with agility and a mature sense of understanding. Because I make it my life’s work to look at the colors we emanate, I could not just sit, listen, and enjoy-I had to study the energy behind the words.

I wanted to see if the emotional and powerful words that were being expressed had an impact on the energy of the student reciting. And since each student recited two poems, it would be easy to see if there was a “switch” that flipped on with the different temperament of poems. There were a few that could flip that energy switch, but for the most part what I noted was a strong sense of self-confidence. It was refreshing, because about 80% of my work at a consulting hypnotist and medical intuitive is about helping one FIND that self-confidence!

What is the color of confidence? Confidence is associated with the color yellow. Yellow is all about ego, self, intellect, and self-esteem. It is associated with the solar plexus energy, your stomach or “belly” area. Think of the term “yellow-belly” and there you have it! Yes, yellow is often associated with the term “cowardice” but that is because the person would rather use intellect (brain) over aggression (brawn), so often they are dubbed cowardly. It is ironic though, because those that do not have confidence or self-esteem often LACK the color yellow in their energy field. It is often depleted and very pale.

Those that have an arrogant sense of self and are over-confident often have an over abundance of yellow, not just in their stomach region (where it should be) but usually in their throat center and also in their heart center. The yellow is pushing more toward lime green in the heart center rather than the nice earthy green I like to see there, indicating that they tend to put themselves (yellow) first (green=relationships).

Confidence, good, healthy, balanced confidence is a beautiful golden yellow. Think of the sunflower and how it grows tall and faces the sun in all its brilliance, and all of the little seeds of thought are presented to the world. (hey, maybe some of that poetry stuff rubbed off? No, not really…) But in reality, that wonderful balance of yellow with the touch of warm energy brought on by the red helps thrust your intellect and confidence out into the world.

Warm hues emerge and push out from their space, they radiate in a sense. Yellow can be so easily influenced. It can “go ugly early” because it is what I would call the most fragile color in the palette. It makes sense that it is associated with our ego. It can be influenced by the smallest amount of cool hues: blues, greens, and indigos, which can force it to retreat, constrict, as if protecting something or someone. It can radiate and emerge, almost bloom with warm hues such as reds and oranges, and present our confidence and energy to those around us.

Confidence is about feeling empowered and secure in your knowledge. These are two references to the color yellow (power, knowledge) with a little bit of red thrown in (security)…Interesting how that all works isn’t it? Confidence emerges from our being with a quiet sense of power, yet it is not overpowering. Arrogance is overpowering and it is the overabundance of yellow, without any tempering of warm hues.

I am often asked what the difference is between confidence and arrogance, my answer: A sense of humor! I say that because arrogance is all about self without any room for negotiation. Arrogance is about power, not empowerment. Confidence allows one to lead by example; arrogance allows one to manage through force and often humiliation. Think about humiliation, it is shame, instills low self-esteem, forcing your confident yellow to withdrawal…so the arrogant energy can overpower!

The yellow of arrogance is almost acidic, a lemon-yellow almost, that is why arrogant people make you want to pucker! lol Whereas confidence is about mentoring and a solid sense of self. There is also a sense of orange energy when you add a bit of the red to the confidence of the yellow. Orange invites creativity, and also includes the person-to-person relationships that can be established when one holds their sense of self in high regard.

The stage last week in Richmond at the Barksdale Theatre held twenty-two beautiful entities with confidence and courage to stand out there and do their best. They all had the energy, some had the capability to push their energy to the back of the theatre, while others could muster enough for just themselves. Yellow energy is the longest wavelength, meaning it can be seen (felt) from the furthest distances. That is why school buses are yellow, visibility…and yellow in the factory workplace not only gets our attention, but helps us focus and keep our mind on our work. (again, yellow is about intellect, and ego!)

It did not matter if these students could project their “yellow” to the back of the room, for they all had the confidence to be out there and represent their schools. I am proud of all of them, and of course my own daughter, as she was one of them! In the end, only one could win, congratulations Tia Robinson of Rappahannock High School.

There were some big disappointments (my daughter included), and it was at this moment I could not believe my ears, the announcer for the contest, the managing director of the Barksdale Theater stated to the high school contestants,”with all due respect to our wonderful judges, please do not let the opinion of these five individuals steer you from your passion and your purpose. As any opinion in life, it is all subjective.” Wow. What a wonderful way to seal the “stomach wound” (confidence-killer) of defeat for these dedicated students. But more than that, he contributed to the color of their confidence by supporting their efforts AND validating the work and the efforts of all the wonderful teachers, educators, and parents that provided the positive energy for the journey.

Thank you, sir, for that observation. That was an observation and a positive script that can (and did) shift lives! So, on that note! If you are looking for confidence, find that yellow cup or mug and tape your affirmation on it, “I move forward with courage and confidence!” and go on… Take on the world-you can do it, you know, it all begins with one step…and a good teacher, so thanks again, Mrs. Waldron.

The Color of Cancer

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Long ago…I resolved that I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

-Booker T. Washington

Hate is an acid that corrodes its container.

-Tonya Baker

I remember when I was young  my mom would take clippings from the newspaper, particularly Dear Abby and put them in her recipe box. She had one that talked about cancer, saying (and I paraphrase here) “Cancer is not what you are eating, it is what’s eating you”. Meaning what is bothering you emotionally is affecting your health. I didn’t realize at the time that I would be doing this for a living, and it is not a coincidence I chose a forward-thinking Aquarian for a mother (and now have another forward-thinking Aquarian as a partner).

Color within your energetic system is “visible emotion.” I can discern what emotion center you are taking from by what colors are depleted or what colors are dominant in your system. Most often your colors are predominantly clear and crisp and easy to see. Cancer is not that vivid or clear to see. It is buried deep and is not what I would call “active energy” in the body.

Cancer is one big ball of emotional garbage. A tumor is often more than one emotion, and they are tangled together like a hairball. These emotions accumulate over the years and hunker down just waiting for an emotional trigger that will prompt its appearance. I talk about cysts in my entry at CatherinePoole.com and refer to them as “trash cans”…well tumors are very similar. If we manifest a cyst, it creates a lot of worry and concern until it is checked out and tested. They are similar, but the color surrounding a cyst is not as dense and murky as the energy surrounding cancer.

The color is what I refer to as “baby-poop green”  (not a name Sherwin Williams would adopt, but you get the idea). If you think about it, all those rotten, rancid emotions from past events and past hurts would not be a pretty cheery pink would they? They have been shoved down and fed with every negative thought and every guilt from every negative thought. They never see any (inner) light and in a sense those tangled hairballs of emotion accumulate and rot inside us until your body decides it is time to do something about it.

The energy surrounding the areas of cancer are murky and convoluted. And depending on the type of cancer it can hover in one area or be an overall systemic dull blanket or overlay of color. The greenish cast in the cancer is in part due to the fact that cancer grows. The brighter the green, the faster it grows. The dull dark brownish greens are usually the slower growing cancers.

I do not diagnose cancer, nor do I mention at all what I see, but I will focus a session on past hurts, forgiveness, revenge attitudes, and most importantly, anger. I have many clients that have learned from cancer and there is always the underlying concern that the cancer will return. It seems that some of the nicest people will manifest cancer, why is that? Because they bury the negative, the anger, yes even the resentment and the rage because it isn’t Christian or “Higher Self” to express anger.

Anger is a natural human emotion. When expressed it averages about 2 minutes. It is HOW you decide to vent that makes all the difference. One beautiful woman came into my office and she had a double mastectomy as a prophylactic procedure because of the family history.

Heredity does not mean you will develop a condition, heredity is a genetic opportunity for lessons.

Meaning, you have the DNA to manifest a tissue issue if you don’t follow your joy, your “happy”. If you are not on your path, your body will use the tissue issue to “course correct” you into your joy. People that are cured of cancer have done what? SHIFTED!!!!  YES! course corrected, prioritized and decided where they want to be in order to achieve their happiness.

This wonderful young woman had preventative surgery, yet the fear was still there depleting her red energy so much that her orange, sacral center was trying to compensate. Her red energy became depleted with her extensive worry about survival and her fear that cancer may appear. This depletion in her red was creating a depletion in her orange energy which was trying to compensate and balance her red. This created a depletion in her yellow, her solar plexus as it was trying to compensate and balance her orange energy. Her body was trying to balance out her energy while still obliging her and giving her energy to feed her fear.

My concern here is with the lower THREE depleted centers; the red, the orange, and the yellow energy.  The next to come is her green, heart center energy which would push down to help the yellow…so here is the potential for a weakness in the breast area where the fear is focused because of her potential for breast cancer. And through it all the real issue is that her immune system is compromised…

My question for her was about expressing her anger, asking if she gets anger out of her system? She smiled and said she had a temper…and I said GREAT! Using it as a constructive tool for healing is the best thing she can do to take the fear away by getting it OUT.

When I say constructive, don’t aim your anger toward another and create hurt and harm for them. Even if you feel at the time they deserve it, wait and address them when you are calm and grounded and can set your personal boundaries with logic and love. I know it isn’t easy, but it is healthier. Directed malicious anger is a boomerang, but firm setting of boundaries with logic and love is respecting yourself.

Vent the anger by imagining the person you are angry with and beat on a pillow, scream, kick and pound on your bed, look in the mirror and give them a good lashing! The key is GET IT OUT don’t push it down. A good method is to sit in your car and turn the radio on loud, imagine that person in the back seat or the seat next to you and just go to town! GET IT UP and then OUT!

Yet another reason to advocate exercise, it is a great way to release stress and anger. There are times I have gone running just so I can repeatedly step on someone’s head! It gets it out and clears my heart and mind so I can approach them and the situation from a logical point of view.

Some take their anger out on the one closest to them, or find a “focal person”  for their anger. This does not release the anger, it actually boomerangs back to the sender because the energy is given to other people and other situations and becomes depleted. Then the “victim” energy takes root and with that it finds its way deep down being fed with other emotions that coincide with its acidic green energy. Resentment and jealousy fed by anger and the victim consciousness  deplete energy from the body. Ironically, the “victim” blames others, when in fact it is their choice to “give” their energy away through negative actions and scripting. The body becomes even weaker, the immune system cannot keep up with the hate and resentment. It just can’t.

Happy is the best preventative medicine. When we are genuinely happy, and vibrate with love and joy dis-ease cannot reside. Fat cannot reside, joy burns off infection and dis-ease like a fever burns off infection! So shifting out of the fear, the anger, the resentment, and jealousy is the way to heal, and the way to stay healthy. Laughter and joy bring light into our bodies, and when we shed inner light on all those old resentments and past hurts it like cleaning house and taking out the trash!

I have a self-hypnosis audio that I wrote and recorded called “Visualizing Whealthy”  in fact I have two versions of the script, one for weight release and one for overall “whealth”  It takes you to that place and time in your life where you experienced absolute joy, whether in love for the first time, winning an award or the big game, whatever brought you joy. You hold that feeling, that joy, and then I invite you to create a day dream where you want to be: thin, healthy, wealthy, in a positive relationship, whatever, then you “transfer” the past joy to future and hold THAT in your head instead of worry…You are then instructed how to get out of your own way and how to allow joy into your life.

When you hold  joy, dis-ease cannot reside in the same vibration.

It is a very powerful audio.To find out more, click here

If you are having trouble regarding someone else and are angry or resentful, jealous, or irritated, then I have another audio I just wrote and recorded this week that can help you build your own confidence and deflect negativity and the negative opinions of others. To order, click here

If you enjoy these entries and how I present solutions to situations, then these will be to your liking. They are classic Catherine Poole! So, if you have fear of cancer, learning or KNOW someone learning, these would be great gifts!

Blessings to you! Have a great week.

The Color of Pain

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

-John Vance Cheney

The sorrow which has no vent

in tears may make other organs weep.

–Henry Haudsley


So often when I give a color reading the question comes up about the color black in the energetic field. Many think if there is something “bad” in their energy it would show up as black. I can see where we have a negative opinion of the color black, but very seldom do I see black. In fact only a handful of times have I seen black and it indicates a MAJOR blockage in the energy field, which can be dealt with, but it is nothing more than that.

I also cannot emphasize enough that there is not anything negative in a reading, ever. The “worst” that can happen is CHANGE. It all depends on how you view change as to whether you see it as negative or not.

My job as an intuitive is to empower you, help you understand your  life, your lessons and your body’s messages. Any psychic or intuitive that instills fear IN ANY WAY is conducting what I refer to as “psychic malpractice”.

Thoughts create and emotions turn on the tractor beam! I have had too many clients to count that have made an appointment with me because some energy worker or psychic told them to have their heart checked, get a mammogram, or whatever! I had a colleague that actually walked up to a man and out of the blue, tell him he needed to get his heart checked immediately! She frightened him so much he left. Not only is this psychic malpractice, it is also illegal as it resides very close to diagnosis.

I focus on the emotional basis of the energy I see, not the physical diagnosis or origin. If a client is very uneasy about their body or changes in their physical condition then I will encourage them to see their medical professional, if nothing else for peace of mind! My job is to look at the energy and listen to the language: what are you telling your body and what is your body telling you?  it is the emotional basis of the dis-ease or the tissue issue that is creating the depletion in the first place.

So, that being said, what DOES get my attention in your energetic system?

RED. The color red, no matter where it is in your energetic system gets my attention. When it is within your physical body it can indicate pain, when it is in your energy field on the left, it represents a shift, change in your life. How intense and how big the energy band tells me how much to prepare you for your shift.When it is in your energy field and on the right, it represents pain that you are still holding onto. Usually on the right it is like a lasso holding onto people and circumstances…things you don’t want to release. That is actually where the red base energy is often directed.

When I see red in your actual energy field, I will often ask first if there is pain in that area on the body, if there is pain then I interpret your body’s messages and we go from there. (To understand more about pain specifically, check out What A Pain! ) If there is not any pain or injury then I take it as a metaphysical message and we go from there. Often I will see red in one hip when it is really the other that is affected, that is because one will compensate and put pressure and strain on the opposing hip, foot, shoulder, whatever. But again, it is all to be interpreted before you start telling your body to be quiet by taking pain relievers.

Pain in the energetic system can also be “old pain” or in reality, true “ghost pain”. I see this in clients that are still carrying guilt, pain, and hatred regarding some injustice or crime. If a rape or molestation has not been properly dealt with, and I mean that in many ways, from forgiveness to professional counseling to family support, it can manifest in the energetic field almost as if the lower emotion centers were put through a meat grinder. I recall one client that came into my office and it was very obvious that she was carrying around this trauma as if it had just happened. Her base (red) and her sacral (orange) energy were shredded and chaotic and it spilled right into her solar plexus and heart center. In a sense something was “eating her up”.

I take this time again to caution hypnotists and practitioners that follow my work, did I ask about a rape or an assault? No. But we did talk about forgiveness and guilt because that was what her body was screaming. She needed to forgive, and that forgiveness and understanding needed to be for herself, to support her self worth, and her self-preservation.

She was learning from chronic pain, including interstitial cystitis! This is a chronic condition that communicates “no-trespassing EVER”. It is very painful and affects urination as well as menstruation and sexual activity. In a sense it puts everything “down there” on alert AND on hold. She had not made any connection with the rape and the pain because the pain started so much later in her adult life and the rape had occurred in her childhood.

Allowing her to understand that we are here to teach each other as well as to learn from each other is the first step in the healing process. Love, understanding, and forgiveness are the tools for eliminating the pain: emotional, spiritual, as well as physical pain. And many times it has to hurt in order for us to find value in the lesson. That is not the way it has to be, yet that is what we expect, so that is what we manifest.

Red in the energy field is all about shifts and changes. Depending on how intense, how wide, and what shape it may take will give me clues. A client that possesses a big intense band of red is perhaps my most challenging readings, I refer to it as a “tidal wave” of red, because it indicates big shifts and changes, such as divorce, health issues, job loss, even a death in their immediate circle…anything that will bring on quick and drastic changes.

Do I mention these things? Not in that manner, that would be unethical, but I will spend the session talking and preparing them for the changes that are entering their life. And THEN finding out what intentions they have set in order to attract this tidal wave of change? They may even welcome it. I put down the foundation for optimism and what is to happen after the changes.

I have a previous entry entitled  “Cosmic Closet Cleaning” which in reality is what this wave of red represents. So you may want to check that out to help you deal with the pain and the chaos. It is all about perspective and how you look at what is happening around you.

Red is the color of pain, it gets our attention and often it takes pain to get us moving whether it is physically, emotionally, or otherwise! The tidal wave is the “elephant on your head” because you didn’t listen to the subtle messages to shift. Smaller bands of red in an energy field are more like “hiccups” or bumps and nudges to course correct and get you on the right path. They are more shifts than drastic changes.

Listening to the messages your body is sending and answering them with love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness will help alleviate the pain. Looking at the pain when it is small and subtle rather than waiting for it to become infected and inflamed is really what it is all about. If you know that drastic changes are coming in, you can adjust your thinking and your behavior in order to either prepare for the shifts or avoid them altogether. Knowledge is power yet knowing is empowering! Have a blessed week!
