Journal entry from May 24, 2017:
“I am on the road to self discovery. I have so much that I desire to learn about my own true self. I don’t need anyone to tell me who I am. I know it! I just now want to become aware of it. My awareness will allow me to transcend myself, allowing for growth and freedom. I think the best place to start is breathing. Its the thing that starts after birth and its the last thing to go at death. Breathing quiets the mind. “
Rainbow breathing….
Slowly inhale….see the color RED at the base of your foot.
The deeper you inhale, the higher RED fills your body like water filling up a cup.
See RED fill you completely.
Your entire being is RED as air can no longer fill your lungs.
Hold the air in your lungs. Hold the color RED in your body.
As you slowly exhale, see the RED turn black as it drains out of your body, starting from your head to your chest to your pelvic to your legs and out through your foot.
Exhale it completely until your lungs are completely flat.
Slowly inhale…see the color ORANGE.
See it fill your body from your feet to your head…Hold it.
ORANGE now black leaves you as you exhale it completely out of your feet.
Continue again with each breath cycle replacing Orange with YELLOW, next GREEN, then BLUE, PURPLE, and finally PINK.
The heaviness in your chest, around your neck, and down your lower back eases just enough for you to breathe deeper and hold it longer.
This has been life changing for me even after three years discovering this technique. I think of it as recalibration. We recalibrate machines, instruments, cars . Why not our minds?
So just breathe….recalibration in progress…
