Adding to my posts regarding energy and how I work with it, the subject of this post is a new method I was exposed to about 6 months ago called “Light Language”. I’ve been meaning to post on this for some time, but it took a while to figure out how to get some of this down without it sounding completely garbled … I think it’s fairly coherent now.
The energies, method, and information on Light Language have been transferred directly from members of a tribe in a remote area of Mexico and has been (according to the woman who has documented what little exists about it) handed down over time starting with the ancient Mayans.
We, as a part of the whole, are experiencing the shift of awakened consciousness at a great rate.

I know this quote sounds a bit “new-agey” but it does seem to fit with what I’ve been experiencing lately. Things have been shifting, for lack of a better word, and the more I work with different energies, the more it seems like I need a variety of methods to choose from. Sort of like having a bunch of different tools in your toolbox for different jobs around the house.
There are a couple of things I’ve been working on lately (as far as “personal growth” and figuring out my place in the world) that ended up meshing perfectly with this form of energy manipulation. First, I’ve been trying to get the conscious and subconscious (or logical and emotional/intuitive) halves of my brain to work together … it usually works out that one or the other is needing to be “in charge” for most of my activities but that’s sometimes problematic for a number of reasons.
The second is coaxing out and nurturing my long neglected inner-child. The inner-child thing is almost easier to deal with than getting the two halves of the brain to cooperate, but 9 year olds can sometimes be difficult and mine just wants to play … something I didn’t really get to do as a child at that age. (I’m pretty sure the 9 year old me is needing attention now because that is the age I was when my parents split … and what little childhood I had ended)
Back in June I had an opportunity to join a class to learn about using shapes and color as a way to set a specific energy pattern in our auric field. It sounded interesting so I went. The shapes and colors used in that class were very basic but the concept was pretty cool. And after playing with it a bit I realized that what was really cool about it is that it gives all of my brain (logical, intuitive, and inner child) something to do. The process itself is intuitive, the logical side likes the shapes since they are very math oriented, and colors are just flat fun to play with.
It’s a bit complicated to explain, but basically shapes are placed in a grid where there is a specific meaning for each of the spaces. In the beginning level there are only 7 shapes and colors and the grid is just a single column of seven spaces that correspond to the chakras. An intuitive process is used to place shapes in the spaces but the colors are set to those that correspond with the traditional chakra colors. Since this all is a bit limited at the beginning level (with only 7 shapes, colors, and spaces) it didn’t take me long to decide to progress on to the next level.
The intermediate grids use 13 shapes and 18 colors along with a 7×7 grid (49 spaces) that has no limits on what shapes or colors are used in the 3 center columns. The 4 outer columns (2 on each side) must have one of several predetermined sets used in them though the choice of which set to use is intuitive. These grids are used to set up an energy flow to acheive a particular intent. They can be used just like (or in conjunction with) any other aid to achieving a goal … they don’t do the work for you, they just give you a little help.
After a few months I decided I wanted to take the advanced level class too. That level has 80 shapes, 144 colors, and uses a 12×12 grid. To give a feel for some of the shapes and colors, I’ve tossed a few of them into the header image for this post. The advanced grids are way more challenging and take a really long time to put together, but once done they have some really awesome energy. Each of the shapes has a specific purpose, as does each of the colors. By using a combination of color and shape, a specific energy is “assigned” to each object. And each column corresponds to a small part of the overall intent. Placement of the created objects in a particular column is sort of like giving those shapes a more specific job. Add them all up and they create an energy flow that helps to direct other energies toward the intent.
The learning process for these is intense. You can’t just “learn” it in the traditional (logical) sense … most of the energetic properties must be directly transferred from the teacher because so much of it is just flat beyond our ability to fully understand. Because I know the gal who taught me really well, and was the only person in the intermediate and advanced classes, we decided to go at a quicker pace than normal … we did in 5 days what it normally takes 9 to do. Granted some of that time is usually due to people bs-ing and goofing off, and we did break things up by only working one day a week, but it was still a lot to take in and I had a few lovely headaches from the process. Well worth it though … this stuff is pretty cool.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world — that is the myth of the atomic age — as in being able to remake ourselves.

I think one of the coolest aspects to this is that there are no limits. I’m sure there are some who might try and use grids for frivolous or vanity purposes but I’m not in it for that. I look at them as a tool for self improvement and bettering ourselves and our lives. As I’m learning to better manipulate energies around me, I’m always looking for something I can use to enhance how my body handles these changes … for every minor gripe I’ve had (like headaches or vertebrae shifting out of place) there has almost always been a corresponding energy blockage in that area.
The energy of the grids don’t do much initially on the conscious/physical level. Instead they work with the energies in the subtle bodies to change our vibration to a higher level of being. This does have an effect on the physical body but it takes some time to manifest. So I’m planning on using these to help with my goal of balancing everything … logic and emotion, work and play, spiritual and physical, needs and wants. Yeah it will take a while, but improvements are always good.
For anyone who might be interested in a little more information on this stuff, you can visit the Light Language website and get it directly from the gal who started all this. I know she doesn’t have a lot there beyond what I’ve mentioned so feel free to ask questions in the comments as well and I’ll do my best to answer as coherently as possible.

Goodness–those images are so powerful. I can literally feel them. I have experimented a lot with geometric shapes and colors in my art. Maybe I’ve known something on an intuitive level that has compelled me to play in this way.
Great post!

As compelling as your art is (what I’ve seen of it anyway) I think that you do intuitively use color and shape to send a particular “message” to the viewer.

Let me see if I sort of understand this. You control the energies by manipulating the shapes and colors. The more colors and shapes the more you energies you have to help with issues in your life?
If there a correlation between which shapes you personally pick and colors? Like why did you pick those certain colors and shapes? Obviously, colors and shapes I picked would be different than yours. Are we working on sub conscious levels here?
It’s very intriguing yet overwhelming.

It is intriguing isn’t it? Let’s see …
More colors and shapes don’t necessarily mean that you have more energies to help, just that with more of them in the grid the energy flow is more focused. Because there are more options with colors, shapes, and spaces in the larger grids you can refine things. I think of it like the difference between an abstract/summary and a full report/article/book.
There is a correlation between the color and shape for a specific intent. The colors/shapes I add to my grids are all placed on a purely intuitive level … it either “feels” right or it doesn’t, As you add more shapes/colors to the grid, things sometimes start to shift and a color or shape may need to be tweaked later to “fit” the flow better. I personally know what to tweak by tracing the energy flow … if I get a spot that feels “off” I know I need to tweak either the color or shape in that particular space.
Yes, the colors and shapes I pick would be different than what you might pick (or that I might pick for you if I were to do a grid for you with the same intent) because each of us has had a different life experience so even a grid with the same intent would need to be different to make the energy flow correctly for the person the grid is for.
And yes, this is really on a subconscious level. Or at least, what we would consider to be the subconscious. I think to be more correct I’d have to say that it’s outside our consciousness since the energies being worked with are the pure energies present in the Universe (I capitalize that because the energy covers all possible universes from a quantum physics point of view).
Does that make any sense? I know that this is really tough to envision with just the brief summary I’ve posted.

This is very intriguing, dragonfae! I’ve always been drawn to energy work and intuition, but I’ve never explored any particular methods or coursework to any great extent before. This sounds very complex, but if it’s a method that can help you balance and nourish all the aspects of your self (mind, spirit, inner child, etc.), then all the power to you! Thanks for sharing!

It’s certainly not for everyone. But I’ve been caught up in it and it seems like a perfect method for me to be playing with right now. At first I was fascinated, now I’m just totally enthralled with it. So many possibilities! 😆

Dragonfae, this is fascinating stuff. I am intrigued. Let me share a quick story…
A few years ago Tom and I took a quick trip to Scottsdale, AZ. It was a business perk for Tom and I was thrilled to be tagging along. It was the first time we had traveled a distance without our kiddos. What a treat!
I’ve always wanted to visit Sedona, so we made the trip up for the day. That day ranks in the top 5 days of my life. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to Sedona, but the place had an enormous effect on me…the colors, the vortexes, the bright blue sky! I know this sounds a bit corny, but I felt an incredible mystical energy there that is hard to explain. But there’s a catch to this story…Tom did not feel the same way as he has a horrible fear of heights and was completely unglued that day. 😦
Here’s my question for you…it’s obvious to me that this place effected my energies with it’s shapes and colors and I’d love to go back. So how do we get Tom over his fear of heights? He’s tried all the typical methods and nothing has worked. Have you ever come across anything that would help with a fear of heights during your work with energies?
Great post. Thanks, Dragonfae!

I’ve not yet made it to Sedona (and I’m from Arizona!) though I hope to go soon. And thanks for the warning … I’ve got the same problem Tom does. Major Acrophobia!
As far as getting over it … what I’ve found for me, with irrational fears, is that those in the mental health field are right. You need to find the root of the fear and address it. BUT … I’ve also found that the root may not lie in any particular experience (or set of experiences) in this life. I could be from a past life.
I used to think that stuff was hooey. But once I started working with a gal who does energetic healing (the same gal who taught me this shape stuff) I changed my mind.
In addition to the heights thing, I was petrified of being suffocated. So much so that when I’d get a head cold I’d have panic attacks when my nose plugged up. Silly since I could still breathe through my mouth. She worked with me on it and we found that I’d been a miner in a past life and had been trapped (and died) in a mine. Removing the energetic trauma from that event helped … didn’t get rid of the fear, just made it a little more manageable.
Not sure if you have folks that do this sort of stuff where you live, but if Tom really wants to pursue it I can give you her website … she does do remote healings by phone.
Or we could just set up a trip where we could meet you guys there and he and I can be cowards together. 🙂

Wow! That’s interesting. I think part of Tom’s problem is that, as a child, his grandfather used to dangle him over a bridge so he could get a better view of things. Yup, he would pick him up and hold him right over the railing…feet dangling in mid-air. Probably not the best idea. 😦
Is the site Light Language you mention in your post, the right site?
Thanks for the feedback and the next time we plan a trip to Sedona, we’ll meet you there!

There are teachers listed on that LL site, but Brei (the gal I see) isn’t one of them. I can’t vouch for any of those listed, but if one of them is in your area, a phone call couldn’t hurt. If you want to contact Brei, she is at http://www.energyhealingservices.com/
I think it would be awesome to do Sedona together! We were going to try and go this spring, buy it looks like we’re going to have to wait until at least November. Sigh

Oh, this is wonderful and informative; thank you for sharing. I used to do a lot of energy work (not so much in the last 5 years; a long sad story I might blog about), and just wanted to give you a heads up. As the subtle bodies adjust your molecular vibrational frequency to a higher level and it begins to affect your physical body, be ready – in some people, the changes manifest as feeling sick, coughing, low-grade fevers, headaches. These will pass as your energy adjusts.
You may experience a loss of interest in food and eating. Go for colorful bright, fun foods with lots of flavor and texture. Your ethereal self is getting ready to exist solely on Energy; your physical body wants to do that, too, causing the lack of appetite, but, you still need physical food. So make eating fun and interesting – beside, colorful and usually raw simple foods are much better for us than bland processed stuff!
Enjoy the Journey and Shine On, Lady of Light! 🙂

Thanks so much Eileen!
I’ve already had some experiences with the physical issues (mostly headaches and some minor illness stuff) but I’d not heard about the food thing. It makes sense though, and now that you’ve mentioned it I’m wondering if my current appetite issues are related. I’ll have to find some fun and colorful foods and see if that helps. 🙂
Please do blog about your energetic experiences of you are able … I’d love to read about them. 😉
