This is how I reach my inner peace; a technique I use to calm myself and help me find a peaceful place to meditate and relax. Once you have done this meditation a few times you can simply use each colour as a trigger. You will be able to reach a quiet space within, very quickly.
Simply calm yourself, breath, and slowly run through the colours, Red to Violet, in you mind, allowing time for your Higher Self to remember and act on each trigger (Diagram 3.). Recording this Visualisation and playing it back is a great way for beginners to really be able to let go and relax. Otherwise just read through it a few times, sit back and think of the colours, in order from Red to Violet...
Diagram 3.
Sit quietly for a while and bring your attention to your breathing…
In and out…… In and out…... In and out…….
After a few moments you deepen your breathing: Breath into your lungs, noting how your ribs expand. Once your lungs are full, breath into your stomach, notice how your stomach expands. Hold this breath for a while then breathe out, pushing in your stomach, then your lungs, and for the last bit of air really push it out, making a “haaaaa” sound. Hold for a count and repeat four more times.
Let your breathing return to normal...
And Relax..... Just Relax...

The light spirals down and you can see through it… This is Divine Light, cleansing you as it passes through you… It washes away all blockages…. It revitalizes your cells…. The colour Violet washes over you, through you…. and you are relaxed…..
