Exercise: The Crime of The Century

This is one of the meditation exercises that I have on my computer and listen to often. I enjoy the use of diaphragmatic breathing. I like to visualize my favorite objects to associate with the colors. For red, I visualize strawberries and how their roots keep them grounded. I can also visualize this for myself. For orange, I visualize myself wearing an orange swimsuit swimming for the reason swimming involves being centered and I also feel very happy and confident swimming. Next, I love yellow so it is very easy for me to visualize love. For green, coming from the heart, I visualize the color of grass and how grass makes most everyone feel loved and how I want to make those around me feel the same way. For aqua blue, I visualize the sky because my will power and creativity can be limitless if I want it to happen. Unusually, I am able to start seeing the colors in my mind at the end of the red beginning of the orange however, today I was not able to start visualizing the colors until this one. Involuntarily I think I was worrying about the dinner party I am hosting tonight. Following is indigo, I visualize the deep color of a blueberry also the shape for the reason I feel clumsy 75 percent of the time and balancing a circle or round object like a blueberry is harder and once I achieve balance it will be on my terms. For the color violet, I visualize the color of an iris to help connect myself with nature and the bigger picture. The white light I visualize as rays of sunshine wrapping around me and how comfortable I feel in the sunlight.

This particular exercise helps me at the end of the day to unwind and relax. I remember the first couple of times it was hard for me to imagine the different colors shooting out of my body but once I was able to grasp that, along with the diaphragmatic breathing, I started visualizing the colors in my mind and associated them with objects that make me feel comfortable and happy. I remember the first time I saw the brilliant yellow in my mind, it was as if I was actually see a bright yellow sheet of paper I was so happy I almost forgot about the meditation and sat up with a smile on my face.
