COLOURS:

GREEN is the colour of balance and harmony, it reflects the soothing frequency of Mother Nature, and it is also the colour of the Heart Chakra, which being the 4th chakra, lies at the centre of the 7 chakra system, joining the lower and higher charkas, and balancing the whole human energy system.

BLUE relates to the vibration of 8, because for 8, the sky is the limit. An 8 aims high and they are determined to succeed at all costs. In MAYAN numerology, the 8 vibration conveys the energy of "harmonic resonance", in other words, 8 creates the energy field, the cosmic backdrop within which all other forms and energies are created and where they resonate with each other and define different vibratory dimensions. Blue is the colour of the Throat Chakra.

8 and 6 are both symbols of balance and reflect the concept of "As Above - So Below". Focusing on this mandala will bring you into balance, grounding, stabilising and intergrating all aspects of your being.

The geometrical form that the 6 vibration generates is the Hexagon, and its internal form, the Star of David: two perfectly balanced, interlocking equilateral triangles. Since ancient times the Star of David (known throughout many cultures by many different names), has been the most evocative symbol of the spiritual axiom, "As Above - So Below".

This sacred form represents the concept that the material world is but a reflection of the greater reality, the unseen spiritual reality. The upward-pointing triangle represents the heavens, the cosmic source of the divine, while the downward-pointing triangle represents the earth, the birthplace of material form where cosmic energy can manifest itself and look back at the reflection in the mirror. It also tells us that a perfect balance must be created between the perception and awareness of the material and spiritual realms, and maintained, if we are to fulfill our destiny as human beings.

The shape of the 8, known as the Lemniscate, depicts the rhythm of energy that flows around and within two polar opposites. The material realm is a reflection, the polar opposite of the Spiritual world. The 8 shows us how these polar opposites pass through the same point of unity before measuring their differences. The crossing point of the figure 8 suggests the crossing-point from the material realm to the spiritual realm, the "needle's eye" through which it is difficult for those chained to materialism to pass.

"The mathematical curve which comes very close to picturing the interpenetration of centric and peripheral worlds, which Steiner was in the habit of using to illustrate his descriptions of the relationships of earthly and spiritual worlds and processes, is the Lemniscate, the figure of 8. The picturing of polar processes is almost always what he has in mind in using this geometrical form or symbol." OLIVE WHICHER: SUNSPACE

The frequency of golden YELLOW refers to the Solar Plexus chakra, where our ego and willpower emerge from. Gold is the colour of the sun and so symbolises aspiration, and the drive to achieve and aim for the perfection that is symbolised by the circle of the sun, and the vibration of 8. Gold brings elements into perfect balance.
