Walking the Land: Reading The Land’s Vibration As You Walk It

The COLOR of the soil, trees, and flowers is far more important than most realize, and can give us a lot of useful information about the energy of an area. These colors have a vibration that influence a particular chakra(s) in your auric body surrounding you.

For example, on the trail where we walk most mornings the flowers are blooming in profusion due to the monsoon.

PURPLE FLOWERS

Walking the trail we will see 50 or 60 Silverleaf Nightshade in an area. That’s a lot. Normally, we might see 5 to 10 plants at most. Silverleaf is a beautiful PURPLE color. And it is dominate in the area where we walk. It is a toxic plant, a member of the potato family, and should not be touched or eaten. It does have some narcotic and hallucinogenic properties, but should never be eaten. Animals will veer away from it and not eat it because they know it could kill them. Purple is the color of the brow chakra which is located in the center of our forehead. Often, it is called the “third eye” and gives us intuitive support—our clairvoyant or psychic ability to perceive more than we can with our set of eyes. This means we may see energy moving around every plant or tree, for example. Or, you may see a color or colors around each of them. Everything has an aura or energy field around it. And there is always one or more colors associated with it. If you meditate in that area, you may find your meditation being deeper or more profound than usual—or you may have a synchronistic event there.

You might daydream strongly, or perhaps have a fleeting vision of seeing into the 4th dimension. You might see a spirit of some type nearby. Perhaps a fairy! That can be pretty unsettling to people who aren’t used to seeing them. You may have an epiphany while walking in the purple-colored area. An “aha!” on something that is profound, or enlightening, or meaningful to you.

You may perceive/intuit more easily the energy of the area, or walk through a local but invisible energy line. When your brow chakra is stimulated, you may FEEL yourself walk through it. Perhaps a tingling sensation. Even better, you may have a vivid dream that night! The brow chakra rules all these types of experiences. Be sure to journal your observations and experiences in detail. And if you can spend some time, pull out your sketch pad and colored pencils, and draw something of the area or the flower.

In my journal, I would put down where the field of Nightshade is at, the color, and a guesstimate of how much of it there is (1/4 acre, etc.). Taking photos is a must because it can give you a more accurate assessment.

Any and all of these experiences are there in a purple flower area because the color sets up the purple vibration, which will stimulate your brow chakra.

WHITE FLOWERS

On another part of our two-mile trail, the area is covered with 15-20 Datura (Moonflower) plants. The color of the bloom is white. Some have a tinge of violet on the edges, while other Datura species are violet-purple in petal color. The species of Datura can range from white to purple, a white with purple edging as a secondary color or white with a purple center (Datura discolor). In our area, we have Datura wrightii, a huge white, trumpet-shaped bloom the size of your palm. It is a big, bold looking plant.

Since the blossom is white, it correlates with the crown chakra at the top of our head. There is confusion with the color of this chakra as some say it is a white/gold color and others a violet color. Actually, it can be all of these. The white can have a TINGE of violet or gold to it; depending upon the person. To avoid confusion, I’ve put WHITE as the color, with the understanding other tinge colors may or may not be present. This is a “heady” chakra to begin with. It is the one that is connected to whatever your belief system is. In my case, it is the Great Spirit, an amalgam of a male/female being. This is where one connects with ‘heaven,’ or the Light, and is surrounded and filled with LOVE. The crown chakra offers us a choice of being of the Light (or not), of striving to do good in the world, feeling love for all beings, being kind, generous, giving (and taking with a balance between the two), caring, sympathetic, sensitive, inclusive, respecting Nature as a full partnership, and understanding it is Mother Earth who keeps us alive. These are all positive energies emanating through the crown chakra for ourselves as well as “all our relations.”

It is also the realm of visions or being a visionary, becoming fully clairvoyant, seeing through the dimensions, working with healing and positive energies that are available through this chakra.

Often after walking through such an area, a person feels “out of body,” or a part of everything. You can go interdimensional just walking through a group of Datura without ever touching them. It is the energy vibration they set up by being themselves and you get to partake in it while with them. It’s not unusual if you have walked through an area of Datura to have a deep and healing dream that night while you’re asleep.

Datura from an indigenous standpoint, has been around for thousands of years, having come from the American Southwest, and Central and South America. This plant is part of the Solanaceae family and is toxic. The shamans and medicine people who have worked with this very powerful energy plant know and respect its poisonous and hallucinogenic qualities. In the right hands of a knowledgeable healer in a village, it was used to give a patient a vision or an internal journey to help them.

However, there have been too many young people who know nothing of its sacred reverence and have been killed because they don’t know how to handle a toxic plant correctly. All parts of the plant are toxic, so do not touch it. Animals know it’s toxic and won’t eat it either.
