Life is colourful!!!!

Colours carry a lot of meaning. Emotions have colours. For example, red indicates anger or passion. Practical purposes indicate red to be a colour depicting danger. There can be many interpretations for all the different colours. Imagine a colour completely in its depth and richness. Meditating with colours helps remove negativity and reinforce positive balance to our being. When you meditate with a particular colour, focus on the energy of that colour. There are 7 colours that we generally meditate with. When you sit to do this, sit quietly and relax every part of your body. When you are ready, breathe in the positive aspects that you want in your experience, and those which are associated with a particular colour. Breathe those in, focussing on them completely. Breathe out the negative qualities which are associated with that colour, as given in the list below. You can do meditations with a single colour repeatedly or you can meditate on all the colours. As you like. Make some personal affirmations associated with the positive attributes too, if you so wish.
