When it comes to meditating using colours, there are a few approaches that come to mind. One is to look into yourself, for example, into your heart, and see what colour is in your emotions there right now and to meditate on that. Another approach could be to choose a colour and meditate on that colour, visualizing it and objects that are that colour as you meditate. Some people study the association between chakras and colour, and some attribute certain qualities and properties to each specific colour.
As you know, your choice of colour to meditate with, will impact your mood and emotions. Using colour in your meditation practice also can provide a new focus and refresh your practice in different ways.
Here is a very simple colour based meditation that could be a starting point for further explorations.
Breathing slowly with deep slow breaths that begin and end in the stomach, say the following words to yourself in your heart.
Breathing in, I am calm
Breathing out, I am grounded
Breathing in, I am present,
Breathing out, I am at peace.
Focusing on your heart,
Feel your emotions that are there.
Now visualize the colour of them in this moment
See the colour of the emotions in your heart and how you feel right now
Continuing the deep slow breaths, enjoy the beauty of the colour as it reflects your moment
What does this colour symbolize to you?
Is the colour changing or is it staying the same?
How do you feel right now?
Watch the colour of the emotions in your heart as though you are viewing a beautiful object.
If your emotions are changing as you sit with your feelings, the colour may be changing.
If you desire to be more relaxed and calm, the colour may change somewhat but be accepting of any colour.
Enjoy the beauty of it, the nuances and subtleties of it.
Sit with your deep, slow breathing and enjoy the visualization of the colour, allowing it to envelope all of you throughout your body, until you feel ready to open your eyes.
If you feel moved to do so, you may want to make a visual representation of the colour or imagery that you saw, using paints, markers, pencil crayons, or whatever art medium you choose. You can also choose collaging and cut and paste images from magazines of objects or scenes that are that colour.
