Hi donna what a wonderful experince, I suggest you go to the left of the site and click on Animal Wisdom.
In the Animal Wisdom board it should have the meaning of Wisdom of Leopard, read it and see if that connects to you. You intuititely felt it was a leopard so i feel Leopard has a message for you at this time of your life for you to see. See through the eyes of leopard the wisdom that this amazing animal brings to you at this stage in your life :)
We often see colour when we are meditating and giving and recieving Reiki etc. Enjoy the experinces as you open up to higher vibrations and energies :)
Blessings Misty
