Colour Breathing

This is a beautiful and simple exercise which takes only a few minutes, has immediate effect, and has many practical applications. Refer to the Colour Healing Chart reprinted below to see the effect each colour has. If, for example, you are feeling run down and want to pick yourself up you would use red because it energizes you. Here's how the technique works. You can do this with your eyes open if need be but I prefer to do it sitting down with my eyes closed.

Imagine a beautiful cloud of red floating in front of you. Look at the pure colour, vibrant and rich. Now breathe in slowly inhaling the beautiful red cloud into your lungs. Hold the breath for a few seconds and breathe out slowly. As you breathe out imagine all the negativity leaving you as you exhale. You may see this as an impure colour or grey breath as you exhale. Now breathe in more of the beautiful red cloud. Feel your lungs absorbing this red colour. Now as you exhale your breath is clearer. Keep breathing in and out drawing in more of the red cloud each time. Feel the red move all around your body as your blood carries it from your lungs. Feel your body wakening and energizing. The red is spreading through your whole body and is now passing through your skin and into your aura. Soon your aura is filled with this beautiful red colour. You now feel full of energy. Before finishing seal the colour into your aura by imagining a silver lining around your aura which holds the red in.

This technique works equally well for calming you (use blue instead of red) or before interviews when you want to be open to new ideas (use orange), etc.. Mix the colours if you want. For example, blue and yellow to relax your body and stimulate your intellect for exams.

Try it now to show yourself the power of colour. You may only need to take 12 breaths for a lasting effect. To help you focus on what you are doing I include some pictures of the aura here.
