Welcome to the Christian meditation yellow.

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior,

Almighty Physician and Healer,

And Ruler of the universe,

Came to heal and not destroy His people.

If we believe and call on Him,

He will answer.

We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.

God's promise of non-destruction is symbolized by the colorful rainbow comprised of healing light in red,

Orange,

Yellow,

Green,

Blue,

And violet hues.

God's rainbow of light brings different facets of healing through each of its colors,

Especially the color yellow.

Yellow can cheer up your sadness,

Despondency,

And melancholy,

Help you assimilate new ideas,

And provide clear thinking with powers of wisdom,

Discernment,

And discrimination.

Yellow cleanses your digestive tract and strengthens your nervous system.

Yellow also energizes you by activating your motor nerves and muscles.

Yellow builds your self-confidence and encourages optimism.

The Bible says in Proverbs 4.

18,

The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,

Which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.

And in John 8.

12,

Jesus said to the people,

I am the light of the world.

If you follow me,

You won't be stumbling through the darkness,

Because you will have the light that leads to life.

And in 2 Corinthians 3.

18,

And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord.

And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us,

We become more and more like Him and reflect His glory even more.

And in 2 Corinthians 4.

6-8,

For God who said,

Let there be light in the darkness,

Has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

But this precious treasure,

This light and power that now shines within us,

Is held in perishable containers,

That is,

In our weak bodies.

So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own.

We are pressed on every side by troubles,

But we are not crushed and broken.

We are perplexed,

But we don't give up and quit.

Now in preparation to open yourself to receive within you God's healing yellow light,

Lie or sit with your spine erect,

And preferably with the back of your head supported,

In a quiet,

Relaxed place,

Stilling your mind and soul and opening your heart to His will.

With your legs uncrossed,

Arms by your side and palms facing upward,

Close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply through your nose,

Expanding your stomach muscles as you breathe in and slowly contracting your stomach muscles as you exhale,

Much like an infant breathes in and out rhythmically,

Taking long,

Soft and smooth breaths.

Visualize that each breath fills you up like a balloon,

Allowing you to feel lighter and lighter and more buoyant.

Continue to breathe slowly and deeply throughout this relaxation period,

Letting your body soften and open.

Tune out all other thoughts.

Feel yourself settle into your body,

Breathing in relaxation and breathing out all tension and mental activity.

Now I will guide you through various muscles in your body,

Asking you to tense and relax those very same muscles,

Keeping your eyes closed during the entire relaxation exercise.

Begin by squeezing your eyes shut and wrinkling your forehead,

Tighter and tighter,

Holding the tension and feeling how uncomfortable the tension is.

Now release the tension in your eyes and forehead and feel the warmth of its smoothness,

Allowing your eyes to remain gently and softly closed.

Notice the difference between the previous tension and soothing relaxation.

Next,

Clench your jaw,

Holding the tension and noticing the tightness it produces.

Feel the discomfort.

Continue to hold the tension in your jaw.

Hold it,

Hold it.

Now release and drop your jaw and feel the tension turn into relaxation,

A soothing,

Warm sensation spreading throughout your entire face.

Become aware of how wonderful it feels to relax your jaw.

No tension,

Only relaxation,

Deep relaxation.

Now purse your lips,

Tightly squeezing them together,

Tighter and tighter.

Hold the tension.

Continue to hold the tension,

Feeling the tightness of your lips.

Now let go and relax your lips completely.

Notice how your entire face feels more and more relaxed,

Tranquil and smooth,

Remembering how uncomfortable tension is.

As you completely let go of the tension in your face and experience the warm,

Heavy feeling of deep relaxation,

Press your head back as far as it can safely go and experience the tension in your neck.

Slowly roll your neck to the right and notice where the tension is located.

Now slowly roll your neck to the left and notice where the strain is produced.

Next,

Strengthen your neck and bring your chin forward,

Touching your chest,

Holding it there and feeling the tension.

Hold it,

Hold it.

Feel the tension in your throat and the back of your neck.

Now return your head to a comfortable position,

Feel the comfort of relaxation and how good it feels to let go of all your tension and allow your relaxation to deepen.

Next,

Shrug your shoulders,

Bringing them up toward your ears.

Hold the tension.

Feel the tightness and discomfort increasing.

Now drop your shoulders and let all your tension go.

Feel the soothing effects of relaxation.

It feels as though you have been relieved of a heavy burden.

You can finally let go,

Allowing your muscles to release their tightness and relax.

It feels good to allow yourself to relax.

Now go deeper and deeper into relaxation.

Go with it.

Feel the warmth spreading down your arms to your elbows and then to your hands and fingers.

Now clench your fists,

Clench them tighter and tighter.

Hold it,

Hold it.

Notice how that feels in your hands,

Wrists,

Forearms,

Elbows and shoulders.

Feel the tension radiate upward.

Now release your fists and feel the looseness relaxation brings.

Notice the difference between tight tension and loose relaxation.

Next,

Bend your elbows and tense your upper arm muscles as tightly as you can.

Notice the feeling of tightness in these muscles and feel how uncomfortable it is.

Now relax and straighten your arms.

Feel the soothing sensation of relaxation.

Go deeper and deeper into the feeling of relaxation.

Remember how uncomfortable tension is and how wonderful relaxation is.

Imagine what it would be like to be relaxed all day and not tense.

Let the relaxation deepen more and more.

Now take a deep breath and hold it.

Notice the tension in your chest.

Slowly exhale now.

Let all the air out.

Allowing your chest to become very loose and feel its release from tension.

A soothing sensation.

Once more,

Take a deep breath and hold it.

Now slowly exhale.

Let go of all your tension and mental activity as you breathe out.

Repeat this deep breathing.

Breathing in relaxation and breathing out tension.

Notice the tension that is released as you exhale.

This allows you to become more fully relaxed.

Now tighten your stomach muscles and hold the tension.

Feel how uncomfortable it quickly becomes.

Now relax and allow your stomach muscles to become heavy and loose.

Go deeper and deeper into the soothing sensation of relaxation.

Feel how wonderful it feels to be relaxed.

It's okay to be relaxed.

Now arch your back,

Tensing your lower back by keeping the rest of your body as relaxed as possible.

Notice how the tension feels in your lower back.

Feel and experience it.

While holding the tension in your lower back,

Squeeze your buttocks and flex your thighs by pressing them down on your heels as hard as you can.

Hold this tension and feel the growing discomfort.

Now let go of all rigidity and feel your muscles soften.

Allow your lower back,

Buttocks and thighs to completely relax.

Begin to feel the softness in your spine,

Buttocks and thighs.

Feel the radiating relaxation to your lower legs.

Now curl your toes downward.

This will tense your calves.

Notice how the tension feels in your calves.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Now let go and relax.

Feel the difference between tension and relaxation.

Feel the goodness of relaxation.

It's softness and warmth.

Now bend your toes toward your face.

Feel the tension in your shins.

Hold the tension tighter and tighter.

Experience it.

Now let go and relax.

Feel the relaxing warmth spread from your toes to your feet,

Your ankles to your shins,

Your calves,

Your knees,

Your thighs and buttocks.

Let the relaxation soften your spine and total skeleton.

With each deep breath,

Draw in more relaxation,

Letting go of all unnecessary tension throughout your body.

Allow the soothing relaxation to spread throughout your stomach,

Your chest,

Your arms,

Your hands,

Your shoulders,

Your neck,

Your lips,

Your jaw,

Your eyes and forehead.

Your total body is deeply relaxed.

Enjoy the heaviness and soothing sensation of relaxation.

Simply think of letting go more and more and going deeper and deeper into the warm feeling of relaxation.

Feel the goodness of relaxation.

Feel your body quieting down and opening.

Feel yourself settle into your body.

You are deeply relaxed.

Now while keeping your eyes closed using your mind's eye,

Focus your visualizing attention on the upcoming scene itself.

Any attention to the body should be to imagine it calm and relaxed.

Picture yourself in a vast,

Luscious meadow as far as you can see.

There is no end to the plush grass that cushions the soles of your feet.

You see the yellow sun dawning in the east,

Enlightening the dew on the grass and misting the air with a warm yellow glow.

Through the morning light of the yellow sun streams and yellow ribbons,

A path appears.

You begin to slowly walk the lightened yellow pathway as you listen to the birds singing their joyous awakening songs.

As you are walking further down the path,

You see Jesus approaching.

When you meet Jesus,

He welcomes you with a broad,

Warm smile,

Lighting an uplifting,

Happy and bright smile to your face.

Jesus then reaches toward the radiant golden yellow sun and from the sun's yellow penetrating beams,

A small ball of warming,

Shimmering yellow light appears in his hands.

Jesus offers this wonderful ball of yellow light to you and asks that you take this bright yellow ball of light and share in all its glory and healing powers.

As you grasp the ball of shimmering yellow light,

You feel its warmth in your hands.

And then that warm yellow light slowly unfolds your hands,

Your arms,

Your head and face,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

Your chest,

Your abdomen,

Your back,

Your hips,

Your legs and your feet.

Now allow this healing yellow ball of light to penetrate the darkest,

Saddest and deepest parts of you.

Let the yellow ball's healing rays turn darkness into light,

Sadness into joy,

A lack of confidence into confidence,

Indecision into decisiveness,

Pessimism into optimism,

Confusion into clear thinking,

Ignorance into discernment and fatigue into liveliness.

You feel lighter with ripples of silent laughter.

Jesus has brought a brilliant,

Glorious yellow light into your darkness and he is giving that yellow enlivening light to you.

You will gradually become transformed by and radiate God's healing yellow light within you with every step you take.

His joyous,

Splendorous,

Everlasting yellow light given to you will illuminate your darkness and grow in its power and glory of God as you rely on him as your light source.

Allow Jesus to help you keep that healing,

Transforming yellow light within you so that you may be complete and whole and radiant outwards more and more with each new dawning day,

A joyous,

Warm,

Brilliant and glorious image of God.

Amen.

Whenever you wish slowly bring yourself back and open your eyes,

Remaining calm,

Relaxed and renewed.
