Colors and Meditation

[Anonymous]

I was asked to post a write-up on colors and meditation. Unfortunately, I had some tables in the article and I can’t figure out how to post them here. Feeling that the article would loose something if posted without the tables, I have posted it at my blog site. You can find the article here:

The blog no longer exists, according to WordPress.  Did anyone happen to save this article, or (if it was AR’s original work) remember the gist of it?

Looks like she deleted both of them rather recently.  Thankfully I have the copy of the post in my gmail from the notification wordpress sent.  This is a good example of why we want you guys to post particularly useful things here as well as your blog.  We don’t want to lose valuable information. 

“…, here is the chart about colors and their attributes during meditation. Note that the attributes are listed as when they are ‘In balance’ and ‘Out of balance’.”
