Breathe Colours

You can bring a little colour into your life (and mind) with this exercise.

Sit up with spine relaxed and straight, breathing at a rate that is comfortable. Establish a natural rhythym, focusing on the breath.  In your mind, place yourself in a location where you feel comfortable, safe and happy.  Now bring a colour to mind. When you have decided on your colour, breathe in, visualising the colour spreading slowly throughout your body.  As you breathe out, visualise the complementary colour. Repeat this for five to ten minutes.

I've just had some 'Color' Massage at the Oasis of Visual Sanctuaries.  No, I haven't gone mad!  This works better in the dark playing some soothing background music.  The theory behind this method of healing is that whatever colours are lacking or needed are automatically absorbed by our energy fields upon exposure to that particular colour.

Wow, we should be very careful with this particular exercise! Here I was following along when suddenly I was surrounded by 8 open cans of paint, you know....trying to pick out a color.

Following along, I began to breathe in very deeply when I became very light headed and began drifting off into a void. I'm pretty sure the paint was toxic.

Better just open one can at a time next time, huh? But geez, I just couldn't pick out a color!

I should maybe order some of those detoxifying patches you mentioned in a previous post after that little experience!

Wow, some of these exercises you recommend should really come with a warning! Very powerful! I'm a little more cautious now!

Wow! There is a VERY strong smell of paint fumes in here! You doing okay?
