Evolution is the basis of Life. Synthesis is the basis of Evolution. The basis of Synthesis is the unity of diversity. The practice “Colorful World” is simple and does not require much time and conditions. I have conducted it with children and adults in different places and continue to apply it in my daily affairs. It helps to be in unity with the process of Life and to see the bigger in the small and the small as part of the bigger. This practice supports seeing Beauty in Nature, maintaining Harmony in oneself, in interaction with each other, and the World. I’m happy to share it with you! Welcome!

Practice “Colorful World”
Look around and find the 7 colors of Nature in the space around you: red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and violet. Then look closely and find 5 different shades of green. Why green?
Green is in the middle of the 7 colors of the rainbow, where each color corresponds to a frequency of the wave that we can see. Green is the main color of plants that support life on Earth.
Children and adults can participate in the practice. It can be used during a walk, in a room with plants. It can be good support during lessons, meetings, or creative activities. The time of the practice depends on the number of participants, their age and the conditions where you conduct it. It can be 5-10 minutes or 1 hour + 😊. And if there are not any plants, photos of nature can help. This practice also can become a family game or an independent activity.
The practice can have several options:
– the number of shades can increase from 5 to 10
– for ease of counting, we have fingers 😊
– you can create small groups of participants: 2-3 people
– you can find different shades of other colors, our colorful world of Nature
– can be supplemented with drawing Nature
Important conditions of the practice:
– all sources of color are based on the colors of Nature
– no competition: “who is faster or who is better”
– no hints or instructions like: “look to the right, then to the left”.
The main task of the facilitator is to invite the participants on a journey of color in the world of Nature. The inspiration of the participants is directly proportional to the inspiration of the facilitator 😊 The music of Nature, if you are in a room, will help.
P.S. In each of our eyes there are approximately 126 million light-sensitive cells that provide information to 86 billion neurons. Scientists continue to clarify these numbers, understanding their importance. (Resources*)
Indeed, if there are so many of them, then we have them for something 😊. And also, the sensory system is originally one of the first to be developed.
We people know the value of color, so we invented paint in ancient times. The culture of every nation on our Earth preserves an amazing combination of colors that are combined in beautiful works of art, and to decorate clothes and homes.
The ability to accept information from the world around us develops our consciousness and neural connections that determine our responses. In essence, this is immunity, which is the basis of mental and physical health. Consciousness is an important participant in this process.
The quality of the information we perceive affects the development of consciousness. The first step in the conscious perception of information is Recognition. If we imagine this process as answers to the questions Why-What-Who-How, then the ability to answer the question “Why” is the recognition of information, which determines the next steps What, Who, and How.
Some examples of these questions: Why do I need that? | What does it invite in my Life? | Who takes responsibility for the process and result? | How can I improve my choice?
The answer to the Why-What-Who-How questions determine the direction of our development, answering the question Where. That is why the quality of information affects the development of consciousness and determines our movement.
Life is movement, and is energy in various forms of its manifestation. Newton’s formula, which was discussed in the previous newsletter, helps us understand where our life energy is directed. F = m x a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. If m is thought and a is striving, they determine our force, where each of us determines its direction. We are where our thoughts are.
Descartes’ formula, together with the coordinate system he created, also helps us understand where our thoughts are directed 😊 P = m x v, where P is impulse, m is mass and v is velocity. If m is a thought, then the influence of impulse P affects the thought itself and its velocity.
Newton’s formula and Descartes’ formula combine vector quantities F, P, a, v, reflecting a process. Any process has its own direction. Our process of cognition, and therefore the direction of the vector, depends on us. We ourselves direct our thought, recognizing the quality of the impulse that created or influenced this thought, and we ourselves create the result.
These formulas reflect the unity as a unity of the ways of knowing. We can call this process by natural science and humanitarian ways, but the process itself was and remains a one process of Life.
The value of the practice “Colorful World”
- Developing the ability to see different shades develops observation
- Observation is the basis for recognition
- Recognition is a condition for determining the quality of information
- The ability to see diversity develops breadth of perception and tolerance
- Concentration of attention develops cognitive skills
- Developing skills of Synthesis by the unity of diversity.
The ability to see the Beauty of Nature develops Beauty of the heart. Beauty of the heart helps us to see the Beauty of Life with our own eyes.
P.S. “On this day, children and I drew a fairy tale about funny little horses that live wherever they like. The boy the nanny spoke of was silent at first, glancing at me from under his eyelashes. Then he took colored pencils and began to draw. . . His little horse ran among the clouds. . . . She had a bright orange tail, and she was yellow with multi-colored round spots on her sides and large blue eyes. . . (Newsletter “Joyful Stories to Inspire Harmony – Bluebell’s Song”)
One more P.S. 😊
The amazing property of rainbow pollen on the wings of a butterfly to accept and reflect light helps it to easily float in the air and overcome huge distances.
The ability to see the beauty of Nature helps us people to look at the World from the heart and, despite difficulties and obstacles, create Beauty with our deeds.
