I was at a festival, dressed as a unicorn, when I realized my super powers. Embodying a unicorn had come with certain built in features. I could instantly heighten a person or group’s mood. I had the ability to speak euphoria into existence by saying happy things. I could transform energy with my attitude alone. There was power in being behind the horn.
People everywhere called out to me. “Unicorn! Unicorn!” I was approached for hugs and pictures as if I was famous. The crowd seemed thirsty for kind words from an enchanted creature. I told them they were beautiful and that magical things were in store. I filled my long silk scarf with love and light and scattered my intentions with theatrical swishes. I was the unofficial Ambassador of Goodwill.
As I trotted through the crowd, I was halted by an on-duty security guard. “Excuse me, Ms. Unicorn, but it looks like as if you are trailing some rainbows behind you.” I looked back at my wake, and indeed I was.
Your call to action: When we “become the rainbow,” we embody the connection between the Worlds. We become the masterpieces that the Creator / Creators intended.
Envision yourself channeling positive energy, creating a rainbow ripple.
Start today by maintaining awareness of the power of your words. They have the ability to build or destroy.
Take the opportunity to say something kind to a family member, a friend, or a stranger in passing. Pay attention to how you are able to create a shift in energy.
BE the rainbow.

Above is a picture of me with my fiber optic space/dance whip.
I was at Bassnectar in downtown Miami when it happened. I had mistakenly worn pants to an outdoor show in the Miami heat. I went to the bathroom to tactically redesign my outfit. I turned my hip scarf into a sarong and my psychedelic headband into a tube top. My blue and purple dreads of yarn (courtesy of Costume Creator/Goddess Carmen Katz) were adding substantially to my level of suffocation. For beauty’s sake, I heaped them up onto the top of my head using a variety of rubber bands.
And then I saw it – a girl creating the most beautiful rainbows with a fiber optic whip. It reminded me of a magical tail. It had a metal handle and five-foot long fiber optic strands that lit up in ever changing rainbow patterns.
I had seen one at another show and had let it get away. I was not about to pass up another opportunity. I approached the girl and asked her for details.
From there my love turned into a lengthy and expensive affair that wouldn’t stop with one light up whip. From wings to poi to levitation wands, I began to develop a healthy obsession with glow toys. Thankfully, I discovered that I had room in my heart for all of them.
What I quickly came to understand was how I could extend my dance energy and intention beyond myself through the light of the whip. In other words, when I dance, I envision rainbow energy coming from the core of my being and extending outward from there. The beautiful thing is that there is no wrong way to dance.

YOUR CALL TO ACTION:
That said, if you are interested in experiencing rainbows shooting from your fingertips, you can start here:
First, find your core. Stand tall, close your eyes, and bend your knees slightly. Feel your feet firmly rooted into the Earth. Next, imagine you have a marble made of rainbow light at your root chakra. Squeeze at your root chakra, so that you don’t drop it. Hold, breathe more light into it and then using your internal muscles, squeeze and roll it all the way up to your heart chakra area through your middle. Once you have it in position, envision the marble of shining light at the center of your being, as all of its edges dissolve and you allow it to grow. Feel it connecting you and feeding your entire body, and flowing through you from that point with its sublime rainbow energy.
Once you’ve locked in on locating your core point of strength, do some tiny movements around it as your center. Try a chest circle or undulation. Try putting your arms into different positions while still maintaining your awareness of your core – so out to the side, above your head, down at your hips. Then try to move across the floor with some of the movements while maintaining awareness of your core. Again, start small.
Once you have found core and the music starts, if you have one, you can turn on your light up toy of choice (ball, whip, wand). If not, this exercise still works, that’s the beauty! As you dance, imagine that my every movement emanates from that source of light that connects you to your Divinity. Envision the light flowing through you and out through your fingertips, your hips, and through the rainbows you’re creating.
