Chapter 1: Introduction to the 7-Color Meditation Technique
The 7-color meditation technique is one of the most effective practices I have encountered. I first learned this method at the age of seventeen, and it remains a valuable tool for both newcomers and experienced meditators. Its simplicity makes it an excellent starting point, while its depth allows seasoned practitioners to quickly reconnect with their inner selves.
Chapter 2: Preparation for Meditation
To get started with this meditation, it's essential to find a tranquil space where you won't be interrupted. Dedicate around 10 minutes for this practice.
Begin by sitting on the floor with your back resting against a wall, ensuring that both your palms and the soles of your feet are in contact with the ground. This position helps you feel connected and grounded. After several sessions, you may choose a more comfortable position that suits you.
Once you feel settled, gently close your eyes and visualize your body. Start by imagining a red light at your feet, gradually moving up your legs towards your pelvis. Pause and concentrate on the red light and your legs. When you feel prepared, visualize an orange light at your pelvis, maintaining your awareness of the red light below.
When you can see both colors, introduce a yellow light at your belly, followed by a green light at your chest. Ensure that you remain aware of all the previous lights. Next, visualize a turquoise light at your throat.
The sixth light, which is indigo or deep blue, emanates from a point on your forehead, often referred to as the third eye. Keep your focus on all the lights simultaneously. The seventh and final light is purple and radiates from a position approximately 50 cm (around 20 inches) above your head.
Take a moment to experience the energy of all seven lights, maintaining your focus on each one. When you feel ready, gradually turn off each light in reverse order, starting from the purple light and moving downwards to the red light at your feet.
Chapter 3: Final Thoughts and Tips
With regular practice, you may find that you no longer need to assume a specific position to feel grounded. Simply visualizing the steps mentally can suffice. I often use this technique throughout my day by briefly closing my eyes and recalling the colors, which helps me stay centered and true to myself.
This meditation harnesses the incredible power of your imagination and serves as a foundational technique for more advanced practices. After reaching the seventh color, you may choose to embark on an inward journey beyond your physical body, but that’s a topic for another time.
