January is the 1st month in the New Year. It is the Winter. January is the 1st month in the North section of the Rainbow Medicine Wheel. It is in the Brain/Mind section of the wheel, it is the mental section of the teachings and the colors are bold ones this month.

The Color for January is Purple, and the North section Color is White.

January is in the North section of the Rainbow Medicine Wheel. This section's Color is White. When you use White in your Life this month, it is the Energy of Wisdom (Being in touch with the study of Life and walking with the teachings of your Knowledge.) The White from this month reminds you that the actions of January are mental actions.

Purple is the month Color and your Medicine Color. Purples Medicine words are Wisdom, Power, Real, Knowledge and Commitment. These are the words to use as your Medicine Words to heal and guide your Life this month. Yellow is the complementary Color and the Lesson Color.

The Yellow Lesson Word for this month is Expectations.

You can use the Purple Medicine Words to treat the Lesson of the month.

When doing Prayer Ties this month use Yellow and Purple material or paper.

When born in January you are a North Spirit. This carries with it the level of Life that calls you to be one of Wisdom. You like to learn and reading is fun to you. You love beauty and to laugh. Being in charge and in control is very important. You are a very Real person and walk with the Truth.

You are a parent that is fair and loyal. You are there for your young, with love and support.

You are from the Yellow Star from the North. You are a Starfish. You walk with the people of May (the Rabbit) and June (the antelope). You marry well with those of Sept. (frogs).

Your personal colors are White, Green, Purple and Yellow.

In the Rainbow Medicine Wheel there are truths that help each one of us to understand the process that we know as Life. In the Wheel, the Lessons are the stones that make up the cross that spans across the middle. Each stone represents a word and the connected Lesson. These are the Lesson Words for the months of January, February and March. If you are having trouble in your Life these are the Lessons you are to be Learning. You treat a Lesson with the Medicine Word of the same Color Medicine.

Example: Lesson word is Purpose, a Red Lesson. You would treat it with the Red Medicine word Nurture.

Medicine Words and Colors treat the Lessons of the month. They give guidance for hard times. They aid in positive thinking when you are ill. These words and colors compliment the Lesson Words. It is important that you know the correct meaning of the words. Make the dictionary your friend. Not only do you gain new knowledge the correctness ensures a good way.

This is the daily Medicine/Lessons Chart. It will give you your daily Medicine and Lesson Words and their Colors. Use them daily to see what you are learning and how to treat the Lessons in life daily. Look at the Lesson Word and think how it applies to the day. Look at it in the night and see how it has been active in your day. You can then treat it with the Medicine Word and help yourself to understand the day, or the week or the whole month!

Make the Medicine Words actions in your life. Accept the lessons in life and become a stronger person. Be the words. Believe it and it will be.

Okay, there you go! I will be back next month with new teachings and other neat stuff to say.

Take care and walk the Good Red Road.

Aho!
