Orange

For the longest time the only thing I knew about Orange was that my mother hates it. I just returned from Pennsylvania, visiting my boyfriend's family, and they really like Orange. In fact many of them have orange sweaters and hats and call that particular hue by their last name. 

Today is the day of Orange, the second day of 2013 and of my 10-day cleanse, a day where I'll focus on this color and on the second chakra: the navel and sacral. I didn't get to say, yesterday, about the root chakra and Red that the focus is I am and it is geared to center and focus. Orange, though, is about fire, energizing, sexuality and physical strength. The meditation is I feel. And the inner state of the navel is tears. I think of what it means to be a fertile being. 

The color of the walls in my living room is orange so I will use them as a constant reminder of vibrant life, sexual expression, and passionate feeling. I can almost hear my uterus singing now! 

I am drinking orange zest infused water today. I will later include orange sections and turmeric into my water. I peeled them the way my brother does and Orange already reminds me of him.
