The Colors of Healing
|
When we practice visualizing the organs with the Six Healing Sounds, we improve our skills for visualization. As we build visualization skills with this inner work, colors can be added for more healing. If you have been practicing with the Six Sounds, you will now be able to integrate the use of color for each organ, as you breathe into each of the six.
Just as with sound, each organ has a preference for a particular color vibration for healing and balance. All we need to do is imagine the color the organ likes, as we inhale the color into the organ. If we are using sound as well, we exhale saying the sound, and imagine two layers of color leaving through the mouth, with the out-breath. The top layer is the healthy color and the bottom layer is a gray-ish form of the color, filled with the stuck or toxic energy. Remember to do all the organs, in the same order, each time you practice to help keep the energy balanced. It’s fine if you want to send a color occasionally to just one organ, as a boost during the day. In an acute situation, like a bronchial, or a kidney infection, it is best to focus more time on the afflicted organ during your regular practice, by repeating the sound and color breaths a few more times. Also, it would usually be good to practice the whole sound and color meditation three or four times a day when you have an acute or chronic condition. The five main organs and their colors are:
There is no specific color for the whole torso,
or triple warmer. You can work on holding the different colors of each
organ in the mind at the same time. This requires practice but it’s
good to be able to do it. Or you may ask the universe for the perfect
color. This requires an ability to stand back, or get out of the way,
and let a color fill the space. Sometime, when I do this, the color
changes and sometimes I get to observe quite a show! Colors can also have a healing impact on other parts of the body. If
you want to experiment, I suggest asking for the perfect color for a
particular pain or discomfort, and notice what happens. I once had a
bad ankle sprain from cross country skiing. My foot became very swollen
quickly and it hurt terribly to put any weight on it. That night I used
color with the ice pack sitting on it. White was the most prominent color
that helped, but other colors came and went. In the morning, I was able
to get my foot in my boot and walk with only minor discomfort. I was
deeply impressed with color therapy after that night.

Colors can be visualized together with sound, as well as separately.
It is easy to understand the advantages of quietly sending healing colors
when we are with others who would probably not understand why we started
to make strange sounds all of a sudden!
