What color do you most enjoy/associate with healing?

Envision a beam of light in the color __________ (name the color) entering through the top of your head, directed from the cosmos itself, ensuring an infinite supply. Imagine this light targeting the specific shape within your body. As it reaches this shape, it starts to resonate and vibrate around and within it. Observe carefully: as the light interacts with the shape, what changes occur in its size, shape, or color? If it is changing in any way, continue repeating a version of the underlined portion and keep re-assessing until the shape is completely gone. This usually correlates with the disappearance of the upsetting feeling. After it feels better, bring the light into every portion of your body. If it doesn’t work or stops working you can move on to another exercise. Reconnect with the moment. Count to 5 out loud.
