Do you feel blue or grey, red or pink? Did you know that colors have psychological properties?
I enjoy teaching the healing benefits of Yoga and Tai Chi at Kaiser Permanente Healthy Living Center. As each class comes to a close, I lead patients with deep breathing and guided imagery. The following rainbow meditation is a class favorite!
Rainbow Meditation
-
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a quiet space.
-
Breathe deeply into your nose, through your lungs and into your diaphragm while you think the words, ‘I am relaxed.’
-
Imagine yourself in a beautiful place in nature, your own vacation spot that you can go to whenever you want to find peace of mind and tranquility.
-
See a beautiful rainbow above you. Each color represents a feeling.
-
Now, see a soothing blue color of peace flow through you and shine from you.
-
Visualize a lovely pink light gently warming you with love.
-
Now, a sunny yellow light fills you with friendliness and creative intelligence.
-
See the color red strengthen you and fill you with courage.
-
Now, a green light nourishes you with harmony and balance.
-
See a warm orange light nurturing you with abundance.
-
Visualize a violet spiritual light filling you with truth.
-
Now, a white light cleanses you and purifies you.
-
Each color of the rainbow goes where it’s needed within you.
-
Feel a rainbow of colors flowing through you and extending out to the world.
-
Breathe deeply and begin to wiggle your feet and shoulders, slowly coming out of your relaxation. 🙂

Rainbow Inspiration
I find that reading inspired words and listening to inspired music, lifts my spirits! 🙂
NEW! Listen to this awesome recording of “Climb Every Mountain” by iconic performers Barbra Streisand and Jamie Foxx. I love this song! I love this album!

Rainbow Food
Our foods, fruits and vegetables are alive with color! Make it a point to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, packed with vitamins and minerals, every day.
I’m going to use the whole box of crayons to draw a beautiful rainbow.
Let your rainbow shine!
