A friend lent me a CD about Colour Therapy. I tend to be a skeptic about things I know nothing about
so I didn't listen to it for a few months.
Finally made myself do it. And liked it.
I lay on my bed eyes closed, as the voice recommended, and was led through a number of suggestions, visualizing various colours, moving up through the bottoms of my feet, up through the top of my head. Visualizing an answer to her question, "Ask your body what colour it needs right now?"
I felt foolish. But I did so. and got an answer.
I saw in my mind's eye, the colours (3 of them) royal blue, red and yellow. The voice on the CD said to receive the colours (I am paraphrasing like crazy here, haven't listened to it in some time). I did so, and ... felt something, very subtle, don't know how to describe it.
The CD took 20 minutes. Her voice was slow, gentle, her words were soothing, reassuring somehow.
Now. I didn't really feel any different when I got up, about like you would after a nice 20 min. rest (which is worth its weight in gold sometimes in and of itself). But when I stood up and started to walk, I was interested to note that the bottoms of my feet felt ... softer, more relaxed.
Didn't know they weren't soft enough before, couldn't have said they needed to be relaxed, before. But after ... what a difference. And I'd been having problems with my feet -- still do sometimes.
So. something happened.
Sidetrack --- So why don't I play this CD every day? It apparently does something for me ... and yet I've only listened to it once since then. Am I just too stubborn and westernized to make room for new things that, for heaven's sake, ... work?
I don't know. I guess I should dig that CD out again .......
