Welcome to this soothing,
Compassionate colour visualisation.
Begin by allowing yourself to take a nice,
Deep,
Refreshing breath in.
And slowly release out.
And now feel and sense the places where your body makes contact with the chair that's supporting you.
And feel and sense the ground under your feet.
And with the next few breaths,
Notice yourself becoming more and more present,
Here,
In this moment.
Call to mind,
Now,
A colour that,
To you,
Represents the quality of compassion.
Compassion being loving-kindness.
How would you describe this colour?
Is it familiar to you,
Somehow?
Is it bright,
Or soft?
Is it a deep,
Or vibrant,
Or pastel shade?
Does it have a shiny quality to it,
Or is it more matte?
When you're ready,
Invite your compassionate colour to gently surround you in this space.
This colour is here to offer you comfort,
Warmth and kindness.
Its sole purpose is to support you,
Here and now.
You might like to invite the colour to merge with you,
Now.
Gently and gradually filling you up with each inward breath you take.
Or perhaps flowing through you like a mist or a soft light.
Focus on the experience of receiving kindness,
Support and wisdom.
From this compassionate colour.
As you do this,
You might like to turn your lips slightly upwards and form a gentle smile.
Notice how this feels.
To be cared for,
Soothed and supported,
In this moment.
If any distractions or wayward thoughts come up for you,
Just acknowledge them and return your attention to the experience of being surrounded and supported by your compassionate colour.
You can stay in this practice for as long as you'd like to.
And when you're ready,
You might like to thank the colour for its presence and support today.
Softly release the colour back into the ether.
And gradually return your attention to the space you're in now.
Notice any sounds you can hear in the environment.
Feel and sense the chair and the ground supporting you.
And when you're ready,
Gently allow your eyes to open.
Thank you for taking the time to practice this compassionate colour visualisation.
I hope it's been supportive for you today.
