Free colour light therapy

When the sun in the Northern hemisphere is low on the horizon, its angle gives us an opportunity to play with raw colour. This colour therapy self-treatment came to me as a work displacement activity and I welcomed it. If you have some old CD's you can recycle them and treat yourself to a pure colour bath directly onto your eyeballs.

I was writing and flagging a bit - suddenly a flash of deepest indigo light struck my retinas. It woke my mind and crystallised a thought into writing, a zap of the perfect colour to complete the spell. A pigment of my imagination?

The sun had emerged, slanting through the window and hit a CD disk lying open on the desk near me. My eyes were in the indigo zone. From there I started to play and soon the whole desk was covered in open CDs and the walls were awash with spectrum rainbows.

Do you have a window that opens onto mid-morning or mid-afternoon sun? Capitalise on these pools of sun in your environment by giving yourself a 'light bath' in pure colour. You may wish to improve your light sensitivity beforehand with a mug of Yarrow tea.

You know all those old CDs you have lying around: newspaper freebees, 'get online now' offers, music CDs you will never listen to again, naff data CDs ? Turn them out and have your own colour, light therapy session.

Make a small carpet out of CDs by running sticky-tape across their front surfaces, and turn them 'data side up' into the sun to bounce onto a wall. Note how the direct reflection of light does not take the same angle as split light and arrange the CDs so you can inhabit the coloured light zone and reflect the bright zones away.

Each pure colour can be absorbed by the rods and cones at the back of your eyeballs. Avoid the direct, reflected light and allow your eyes to enter the colour zones. Taste the colours first and see which ones you like, which ones you want to drink. Bathe your eyes in a colour you need - its easy, just pick the one you like and spend a short time there !

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. ROYGBIV. Remember this and you have RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO and VIOLET, the colours of spectrum in order.

Now find a route for your eyes through the colours in order and a fluid movement that takes you slowly from from Richard to Vain. Imagine each colour feeding the chakra to which it is associated. Spend a minute opening yourself and your chakras to each colour.

Move your new carpet of light around and use it to activate and energise visualisations and spells in your environment.
