Touchstone: Experience a Colors In Motion moment:

Chakra Lullaby
Colors In Motion™ contributes to the holistic approach to wellness, which addresses mind, body, and spirit. The seven energy vortexes are called Chakras. Envisioned in the body as a full spectrum of colors, these colors ( always in motion ) can help keep our energy flowing and balanced. "Chakra" is an ancient system still incorporated in today's healing modalities.
 
Colors In Motion composer Josh Hummel adds a new genre to his award winning repertoire. As a new Dad, his fascination with his son's new life has inspired a lullaby. It is Josh's musical blessing for Sebastian: for a healthy balanced life.
 
The following is Josh's directive for Linda DeHart for painting this month's TOUCHSTONE, Chakra Lullaby:
    This piece is comprised of seven layers drawn from the seven chakras or energy centers of the Yogic tradition. A rich lullaby for the whole person.
     
    • The Root Chakra (red, foundation): low pulsing tones
    • Sacral Chakra (orange, pleasure): spatial chords
    • Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow, confidence): subtle rhythmic textures
    • Heart Chakra (green, love): the harp, the central component to this piece
    • Throat Chakra (sky blue, communication): boys choir
    • Third Eye Chakra (white and indigo, focus and imagination): high overtones
    • Crown Chakra (white and violet, spirituality and bliss): whistle tones, crystal bells and wind
Linda, whose signature in all her work, incorporates all colors, was challenged by needing to separate each color, while merging each painting into a whole and meaningful body of work.
 
Josh's composition, Linda's paintings, and Christopher Graefe's compositing instill a contemplative invitation as tones, rhythms and colors move through these 6 minutes, lulling our innate longing for unity, making whole our false perception of separation.
