In a world full of doing doing doing, it’s important to take a moment to just breathe. To just be.
A Mindfulness Exercise with Creative Visualization
This exercise will help you open your mind to receive creative thoughts and ideas. It will also work to help you solve problems. The focus is on balance and harmony, the contrast of the color white and the vibrancy of a rainbow, and the sensations of wind touching your skin.
Set your alarm for the earliest morning hour when dawn is breaking over the horizon and the world still sleeps around you. Dress in loose clothing. Set yourself up in a chair or a lounge outside if you can. If you can’t sit outside, find a comfortable place inside near a window. You want to connect to the aura of the earth. Make yourself a cup of tea or another warm beverage. Keep the lights inside down so the morning sun can stream through your window and you can breathe in it’s light.
Sit or lay down.
Close your eyes.
Visualize a different window, this one adorned with sheer white curtain panels. Reach out and gently touch the fabric and feel the silky texture. Focus on the crisp color of white. Feel the light shining through the curtains. While you are visualizing, feel or imagine the warmth of the rising sun flowing through your real window to kiss your cheeks. Let the white sheers calm you and then introduce some wind. Watch the panels sway in the breeze. Imagine the crisp, clean air gently touching your skin.
Bring in the golden glow from the sun outside. Look for a prism of color streaming through. Focus on it. Find the reds and blues. Direct your full attention on their intensity compared to the filmy white of the sheers. See the stark contrast of colors against the white. As you gaze at it, imagine a kaleidoscope of colors from the prism as the light bounces off objects surrounding it. How does the sheer white feel? How about the colors? The hotness of the red? The velvet smooth touch of the blue? The turquoise of the sea? Do you see the rustic burnt oranges? The sweetest baby pink? The muted earthy browns? Reach out for the colors and watch them slip through your fingers. Which ones stain your skin? Is it a penetration of your skin or a light sprinkle? Imagine the rainbow being absorbed into your spirit. Breathe it in and make it one with your aura. Concentrate on the color that permeates and hold your focus on it. What do you think of when you look at it? Do you feel emotional? Does it remind you of a person or a place or a thing? What do you feel?
Breathe.
Inhale and then exhale.
Count your breaths if you need to center your focus.
Let the colors swirl through the air around you. Let the white reflect it’s shine on you. Now open your mind to the problems you face. Your aura guides you and the white light protects you. You are unrestrained. You can think freely. There are no judgements here. No barriers and no chains. Feel yourself float. Feel what you feel.
What questions have you asked?
What answers have you found?
What ideas have you formed?
What plans have you made?
What dreams will you follow?
What actions do you need to take?
Don’t let go of the light. Don’t let go of the color. Think your thoughts and feel your feelings. They are all a balance of creative energies within you. They are a part of you and will help guide you. They will always be with you.
When you find yourself struggling in the days ahead, struggling in understanding, fixing, creating or being, go back to the curtain and stand in the light. Reach out again for the colors of your rainbow. Feel your tensions slip away. Be present. Be mindful. Be well.
This is mindfulness.
