Colors shape the way we interact with the world around us. The psychological association with certain colors makes us feel and act a certain way. We associate negative and positive feelings with certain colors, which shapes how we view the world. So, it makes sense that the energetic and spiritual realm also associate meaning to colors according to vibration. So what does the color red mean spiritually? The spiritual representation of red is power, energy, vitality, dominance, action, assertion, creation, survival, and passion. When a spiritual sign appears in your life that is red, it usually represents that you are ready to take action on a new goal or project that you have been putting off. The spiritual message is “have the courage to take action, and we’ll take care of the rest.” 
         The spiritual realm loves to give signs in the form of colors and symbols, and red is a color that they love to play with. Red emits a vibration that makes you want to take action or makes you feel powerful. It catches the eye, saying pay attention. Spirit loves the color red because you notice it and are more likely to take action. The color red is the longest on the visible light spectrum, and because it is most visible to our eye that means it is strongest in the physical realm. Because it is so physical, it is actually the most difficult energy for the spiritual realm to rest. That is why Spirit will send symbols with red attached to objects with a high spiritual realm to rest. That is why Spirit will send symbols with red attached to objects with a high spiritual vibration. When you see a lot of red in your life, it is important to pay attention to what objects the red is appearing with, and how you feel when you see it. Often, you will see flashes of red when it is most important to get present with your life and pay attention to what is happening around you. The color red is trying to pull you into the present moment and get you out of your head, where we are often thinking of the past or the future. We cannot take action on things that have happened in the past, and we cannot live in the future. The only time we have total control over our lives is when we are fully living in the present moment. Red is also a color that can give you the feeling of safety and security in your environment. It is the color of the root chakra, which makes us feel grounded in our current realities. If you are seeing a lot of red after a period of environmental change, it may be a sign that things are happening below the surface to build up a secure foundation once again. 

Spiritual Meaning of a Red Bird.
       Birds are messengers for the spirit realm. They are acutely sensitive to energy and are guided by forces that we cannot see with our physical eye. Many people feel like they have been visited by a spiritual being if a bird lands near them. Indeed this is true. Birds carry messages from the angelic realm, so pay attention to what the color is and what was happening when you saw or were visited by a bird. Red birds are connected to the direction North, which in shamanism or Native American tradition is seen as a connection to the home. They remind you to listen to your inner voice, and that will always guide you home. Your own inner wisdom is your North Star. It can also be a sign to remember that Earth is your home, and to treat it with respect. It maybe very healing for you to spend time reconnecting to the earth, such as gardening, hiking, or walking on the beach. A red bird can let you  know that you need to reconnect with your home. If you don't know how to tap into your own wisdom, or can’t seem to get clear messages from your higher self about the next steps, try to spend time in nature to see if that will give you clarity. 

Spiritual Meaning of a Red Sun
       Seeing, a red sun isn't necessarily spiritually symbolic, but it does carry a very high spiritual vibration. The sun is the most powerful source of life that we experience here on earth. Exposure to the sun is what gives everything on this planet life. Without vitamin D from the sun, our health declines. Similarly, red is the most vibrant and powerful color on the visible light spectrum. It gives us the psychological feeling of power, action, passion, confidence, and embodiment of Self. Therefore, staring at a red sunset is one of the most centering and grounding activities you can do. Places near the ocean that have access to seeing the sunset with vibrant reds are seen as high vibrational areas. Oceans themselves have a high vibration, but seeing the sunset adds a layer of deep, energetic reset. Interpreting the signs and color symbolism spirit is sending you is a fun way to develop your intuition and gain clarity on situation's that seem confusing or overwhelming. The spirit realm, communicates and vibrates, and when you are seeing certain colors appearing again and again, it is often spiritual communication of things happening behind the veil. Red is a powerful and active color, and we would not be able to create the world in the same way without it. The law of impermanence is a reminder that everything in the physical world will one day be gone. Red is the color of the physical world and the color of the root chakra. When you are going through a health crisis, remember that we all suffer from illness and eventually cease to exist. Celebrate the life that is healthy, but don't get overly attached to it. This may seem morbid or pessimistic, but it is actually deeply profound and a wise way to live. Fearing death and illness will only lead to suffering because it is inevitable that we will all go through it at some point in our lives. Interestingly, when someone loses their attachment, or expectation of things, being a certain way, they go through miraculous healing. Accepting and allowing things to happen, gives spirit the green light to transform your life without resistance. Many times people that have gone through a terrible illness have the greatest impact to help others. You never know the reasons why you are going through something until later. That is how spirit works. The message is to surrender to the law of nature and allow things to happen how they naturally happen. If you dream of a Red Sun, it could be a sign that you need to rebuild the foundation of your life. You may wake up with a solution in mind.

Growth is intricately intertwined with the growth of the collective. As we nurture our individual selves, we contribute to the collective consciousness, causing a positive ripple effect of positive change in the world around us.
    Amidst the noise of the external world, silence becomes a sacred pause, a moment of communion with the Universe. In this stillness we hear the echoes of our own heartbeats, the whispers of our soul, and the universal rhythms that bind us all. We also find the space to dream and to envision a life that aligns with our truest desires. We cast away the limitations imposed by external expectations and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie before us.
    It is in this sacred space of creation that we realize we hold the brush to paint the canvas of our destiny. As we cultivate a profound connection with ourselves, we become more authentic and present in our interactions with others. For when we engage in relationships from a place of self awareness, we form bonds that are built on honesty, empathy, and respect. At first glance, the notion of being alone may seem at odds with the pursuit of fulfilling relationships. After all, connection with others is the very essence of Human existence, indeed it is. But it is through the process of being alone that we unlock the door or portal to genuine connections. We begin to cultivate emotional intelligence, enabling ourselves to understand and empathize with our own feelings and those of others. Emotional intelligence serves as the bridge that connects us to the hearts of others, fostering genuine connections based on compassion and understanding.
    When we understand our emotions and needs, we can articulate them clearly and authentically to others. This open and honest exchange creates a safe space for vulnerability and trust to flourish.
    So these moments when we are alone serves as the interlude, the moments of reflection that enriches the subsequent connection with others. It is the pause that we gain the clarity to discern the relationships that nourish our souls and align with our values because being alone gives us the discernment to recognize when a relationship may not be serving our growth and well being. As we reach the culmination of this profound exploration, let us take a moment to reflect on the wisdom that has unfurled before us. Far from being an act of isolation, being alone, is a conscious choice to delve into the depths of our being, to understand who we really are. It is about embracing our individuality, cultivating self love, and extending compassion to others. Through this journey of self-discovery, we become beacons of inspiration, igniting positive transformation in the lives of those around us.
    Embrace the power of being alone as a second pilgrimage to your inner most self for an understanding to loving yourself. You unlock the key to truly understanding and loving others. Remember it is in the practice of being alone that we are guided towards self realization. Time spent alone to awaken the deep interconnection of all life is the reward.

Artist Statement:
From the perspective of a Bird, I soar through the skies, my wings beating effortlessly as
I gaze down at the world below. From my vantage, everything looks different. I see the
intricate patterns of the landscape, the winding roads, and the tiny buildings that seem
like toys.
Seeing the world from above as I fly, I notice things that would be invisible from the
ground. I see the way the light reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect that's
mesmerizing. I see the shapes of the clouds, the way they morph and change as the
wind blows. And I see the vast expanse of the earth, stretching out before me like an
endless canvas.
A new perspective having a bird's eye view changes everything. I see the world in a new
light, literally. I see the relationships between things that would be invisible from the
ground. I see the way the world is connected, the way everything is intertwined.
And I see the beauty in the smallest details, the way a single leaf can be a work of art.
Flying high as I soar through the skies, I feel free. I feel like I can see everything, like I
have a bird's eye view of the entire world. And in a way, I do. I see the world from a
perspective that few others can experience. And it's a perspective that's full of wonder,
full of awe, and full of beauty.
