Simply let your inner knowing be your guide you are in transition. Holding your head upright, shoulders relaxed and back.

Step 7 breathing colour
Begin by sitting comfortably. Focus on your feet and, ensure both feet are placed firmly on the ground. Next, place your hands gently in your lap. Do not cross your arms and legs.
Breathing colour begins at your feet. Gently close your eyes. Imagine the vibrant colour red at your feet as a ball of light. When you can feel it, breathe in this colour up through the earth, and your legs to the base of your spine. Feel it’s warm glow in your back at the base of your spine. Now focus on the vibrant colour orange mixing in with red. As orange becomes more vibrant it begins in your pelvis and, gently warms your abdomen and, continues to travel upwards toward your navel area where it fuses with yellow. This area is warm. It is your solar plexus. Breathe in yellow and, as you continue to breathe in this wonderful vibrant light it becomes transformed at the level of your heart chambers. This light is now vibrant green infused with spots of pink. Breathing from here the colour travels up to your throat. See your light as vibrant sky blue. As it travels up through your throat to the middle of your forehead the light becomes indigo. Breathing indigo up to the top of your head indigo transforms into a white light. You can bask here in peace for a while. When you are ready take this white light back down the back of your spine, through your energy centres until it reaches your feet. Once again begin to feel your feet firmly on the floor and, gently open your eyes.
