Introduction
to be given prior to the exercise: Our body is surrounded by a coloured envelope
known as aura. The colours of the aura undergo continuous changes in accordance
with the changes in our attitude and emotional pattern. In fact, there is close
relation between the aura and our attitudes and emotions. We can purify the aura
by the purity in our attitudes and emotions, and the latter can be gauged through
the former. In the present exercise, we have to use our power of visualisation
of a particular colour at a particular psychic centre. Then again, with the mental
projection, we have to visualise the same colour as spreading all around us and
permeating the whole aura around us. Lastly, we have to make use of the technique
of auto-suggestion to bring about the change in our attitude or emotional pattern.
Deep concentration and alertness are of course to be maintained throughout the
exercise.
The third step of preksha meditation is Perception of Psychic
Colours.
1. With your mind's eye visualise that everything around you,
including the air itself, is coloured bright emerald green.
Take a deep
breath and as you slowly inhale visualise that you are breathing long streams
of bright green air. Repeat the breathing exercise several times, each time inhaling
bright green air.
Now concentrate your mind on the psychic Centre of
Bliss situated in the middle of the chest near the heart; try to visualise bright
green colour in that region.
Perceive bright green light and visualise
that the bright green radiations are spreading in the psychic centre covering
the whole portion upto the back.
If the light does not appear or vanishes
after appearance, do not be disappointed. Intensify your effort for sustained
visualisation.
Now visualise that the particles or radiations of bright
green light are emanating from the Centre of Bliss and spreading all around permeating
the whole body and the aura. Practice sustained visualisation with deep concentration.
Now using auto-suggestion realise---"My emotional pattern is being purified;
my mind is being purged of all the negative attitudes".
