Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Really?? that is quite interesting...i was originally taught to picture blue.....the yellow color came afterwards i kept naturally being able to concentrate on the yellow, for some reason the green happens only when i am outside, and of course the red came usually after a long workout session....i tried picturing other colors but could not, now that you mention it though the yellow color came most naturally, but was an after effect of my own experimentation.....thank you for your reply.....btw, do you have an explanation for the other colors by any chance???

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Hi. The colors that you " see " when practicing Qi Gong (any kind) or meditation are really not important. It's a kind of " garbage " of your mind. Each person will " see " most frequently collor thar correspond with the own profile. It's not wu wei. Don't pay attention on colors. Keep your mind free of any information, any image or anything. Let they come and go, and keep practicing.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Thank you, actually the person who taught me that told me about the same thing, don't get me wrong, i believe in the esoteric quite strongly, i am of the mind that the human body is capable of quite amazing feats when put to the test. I understand the concept of where visulization comes to play, the specific exercises where meant to be just that, excercises. In actual practice however i am taught in the spirit of which you just mentioned, to let things " flow " naturally. I am of the mind that the visulization is just a procedure to " reteach " your body to direct the energy naturally as it was meant to be. Just as you breath without concious thought, so must your ability to direct and focus your chi/qi. I liken to the though of switching a light on and off, except for me i would like that lightswitch to react at the speed of " thought " . Anyhow i think the gist of what you are saying is " don't get caught in the interpretation " which is something that i agree upon wholeheartedly.

But there are practices witch use color as an 'entrainment' for our subtle body as well as sound, and images(from nature or the Bagua, for instance), apart from that colors are an undesirable side-effect.
