  • Bring your attention to the tailbone imagining a vivid red light spinning at its center. Feel it moving and pulsating with your breath.
  • Next, shift your attention to the area underneath your navel. This time imagine a warm glowing orange light and notice how it spins and pulsates with each breath.
  • Now move your attention a couple of inches above your navel or belly button. This is the place you’ll likely feel love, fear, anxiety, and excitement. Notice and sense an intense yellow light rotating in that spot.
  • Then bring your attention up further to the center of your chest where your heart is. Imagine a bright green light. If you feel like placing your palm on this area then do so. Feel the connection with the area now.
  • This time focus your attention on your throat, the hollow between your collar bones. Visualize a bright blue light rotating in the area.
  • Next, take your attention to the space between your eyebrows, which is your third eye. Imagine a deep indigo light here. Imagine it getting more vivid as it spins.
