The Rainbow Visualization

This exercise is designed to give you one of the most pleasant and healing trance most people report that they find the Rainbow Visualization a wonderfully healing experience because, like all living things, we draw our energy from light. The colors of the rainbow represent different life sustaining energies. As you practice this exercise, you may find yourself lingering from time to time on a particular color and taking in a special kind of light energy. That is just fine, because it means you are drawing into yourself the kind of color energy you need for personal healing at that moment. The colors you linger upon in the course of each trance session may change from time to time as your physical, spiritual and emotional needs change. For this reason, it’s a good idea to practice the rainbow light visualization regularly throughout your self-hypnosis program or whenever you are feeling the need for a lift or energy boost.
