My ColorPrint: personal review
Beverly and I recently had ourselves "ColorPrinted" by a fellow named Jamie Champion. Jamie, as he'd like you to call him, can supposedly jive with the life energy of human beings to such an extent that he reads the resonance of various "pulses," representing character aspects as colors on the spectrum of light. It's not exactly an aura reading, or chakra analysis, but a system of personality examination of Jamie's own invention.

Now, I believe it on principle, especially as I've always read colored energy in myself and other people-- even accurately enough to have pegged Beverly what Jamie labled her. However, that only Jamie himself is "certified" to do readings and he claims to be unable to train gurus and hasn't yet produced a device to operate in his stead, I sill have reason for tremendous doubt. There is something about the intrinsic nature of this man, underneath his charing and unbelievable charisma, that makes me wary of being cheated. Of course, all of HIS "colors" (read by whom?) point to a healing, gifted, caring person.

All potential for scamming aside, the reading and the following all-day-Saturday seminar were quite interesting-- if just because they gave a refreshing, open perspective and a new vocabulary for introspection. But backing up a bit, let me describe the analysis itself and the meaning behind it--

In a "reading," Jamie tests various pulse areas (back, neck, navel, forehead, hands, etc) and then SEES a color based on the energy resonated by that pulse. Each pulse area corresponds to one of five personality aspects (Environment, Expression, Intimacy, Life Force and Intention). The color resonated is from one of four quadrants (mental motor, mental sensory, physical motor and physical sensory) that describe how it is expressed. Each of the 52 colors has a corresponding element (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space). The color itself holds the details but the element behind it describes how those details come out. The elemental aspects all follow traditional description: earth is slow and methodical, water flowing, graceful and artistic, fire driven and intense, air apt to change and flexibility and space open to interaction from all others.

When a color, and its element/quadrant are matched up with the five life "areas," they have a lot to say about the specific driving characteristcs of that particular aspect... like what sort of environment you like to work in, how you are intimate with people, what drives you, how you best express yourself, etc. etc.

Quite frankly, even if by chance, Jamie Champion pegged me right on, especially considering what makes me feel most "out of my element" are the opposites of the things listed as my primary traits. What I've been learning over the last several years is to BE the things he described, and all else will follow. Whether or not it's all bunk, I had a fun time, even if I was the only one under 35-years-old at the seminar. I've got a new way of talking and thinking about my inner balance and outer actions that I might not have had if I hadn't "donated" $25 to this smooth-talking would-be energy reader. I might even recommend the ColorPrint seminar to others, simply as a way of accessing or remembering the common-sense, matter-of-fact, aspects of self-affirmation that we all tend to lose by the wayside. And hell, if it is all "for real," then I give this entrepreneur kudos for the insight into others and willingness to help that he has expressed-- even for the price he asks.

Read on to see what Jamie Champion had to say about me:

My Environment Color is Ultraviolet White, and represents the environments in which I thrive, and the manner in which I make decisions. My Environment Color correlates to the health of my nervous system.
