WHAT DO THE COLOURS MEAN?
A luminary force in our journey towards the deepest aspects of the system of Aura-Soma, Persephone brings us to a greater sense of freedom and fulfilment. As we begin to discover our own bliss, Persephone guides us along the pathways of our previous experiences and opens up our abilities in terms of our higher mind functions.
Appearing in the base fraction, the Orange represents the synchronicity with B119 whereby the colour was rescued from the top fraction of Ceres. Now, with the shining light of the Clear in the upper fraction, the Orange takes on a new meaning in terms of gaining freedom from the past.
In Greek mythology, Persephone, daughter of Ceres, was blessed with beauty and pureness of spirit and was consequently concealed by her parents to protect her from the darkness of the Underworld. Following her capture by Pluto and subsequent introduction to the Underworld, she was exposed to shadows, giving her great perspective in the duality of light and dark. Thus, the translation of her name alternates between ‘the bringer of the darkness’ and ‘the bringer of the light’. We are therefore reminded in this story that we cannot live in a world or indeed within ourselves without knowing both light and dark.
Pluto said to Persephone, ‘you don’t realise I’m darkness’ to which she replied, ‘and you don’t realise I’ve got more understanding of the shadow than you’. Here, Persephone reminds us that our strength comes from the knowledge and understanding our lives, our journey, the past and the present. As we strive towards individuation, the Orange healing of the timeline and the Clear fraction bringing in the light, we have the opportunity to undo the patterns of the past and discover what lies within the shadow of ourselves.
Persephone brings the opportunity for healing, the overcoming of our relationship with past trauma and the opening of doors to new possibility. Through experiencing this bottle we may evaluate these patterns of the past, bringing us to a greater sense of fulfilment and the overall potential for bliss. Together, we celebrate the deepest insights that may arise as we continue the unfolding of colour and light towards the deeper aspects within the system of Aura-Soma.
With Love and Light
